Environment & Spiritual Awareness

3/20/2015

12 Comments

 
Pope, Pope Francis, Pope Benedict, Christ, Korea, creationPope Francis in Korea
Some say that Pope Francis has elevated the environment to be part of our spiritual awareness. After all, the earth and all of the means provided to us are a gift from God.

More specifically, Pope Francis said on May 21, 2014;
"If we destroy creation, creation will destroy us."

One must give pause to ask if the Pope's words are a hyperbole or prophecy? Is this a prophecy because it is from a study of theology or is this a hyperbole from a review of scientific data?

Some will say perhaps there is a little of both, because of the sound belief that we must all care for what and who we have in our lives. If we are not our brother's keeper and the keeper of our earth, will the results be a profound loss of our biodiversity as we know it?


"If we destroy creation, creation will destroy us."
Too much time is wasted on debating what disasters will occur or how very little will change, because of Climate Change. The fact is, we don't have all the statistics tabulated to layout the exact time of any specific occurrences that may or may not become a reality because of Climate Change. However, we do have enough scientific data to clearly state our planet's average temperature has increased and yes, humankind is a contributing factor. The What, Where, and When, is not for us to schedule and Who's Fault is not to debate, but for all of us to prevent additional planet wide temperature increases by working together as one team.  If we don't, you only need to look at recent events in Bangladesh and Australia to see the destructive force of a warmer environment.

I am tired of people claiming they know the "We Are Doomed" scenario just for their 15 minutes of fame and the other side saying, "Never In My Lifetime" will this happen. Well, what about your children or grandchildren's lifetime? Both these claims are not formulated well at all and they are immensely selfish. Humankind is very intelligent, when we choose to be, and we can overcome greed by learning how to evaluate all the facts. The book by John Klotz, called
Quantum Christ: The Shroud of Turin and the Apocalypse of Selfishness offers an excellent presentation on how we must evaluate everything correctly (even God) and be selfless.

Evaluating the real science about Climate Change shows our oceans are approximately 1.5 to 2 degrees warmer over the past 5 decades. An increase by two more degrees over another decade or two is very disconcerting because   scientific data shows a warmer planet will cause
the ice of the Tundra to melt. The known methane trapped within that ice will warm and turn into a gas. Thus, escaping into the atmosphere of our world, causing more warming since methane gas is far worse than the carbon emissions that create a Greenhouse effect. You may wish to consider the information provided by Thom Hartmann in
The Last Hours Of Humanity: Warming The World To Extinction.

As individuals, we must make choices that can contribute positively to helping our world and be within our realistic budgets of time and capabilities. For myself, I do not own a car. When the Tesla electric car becomes affordable, I will own that and recharge the batteries with solar panels. Then, yes I will recycle the batteries and all the car parts when the vehicle no longer functions correctly. For political leaders and corporations, the responsibilities are far greater and there is a definitive need to realize basic facts: To paraphrase another Pope,
"People ahead of profits" was said by
Pope Benedict XVI and Matthew Kelly stated in his book The Dream Manager: "Contrary to unwritten management theory and popular practice, people do not exist for the company. The company exists for people."

Paul Jozef Crutzen, Paul Crutzen, Dutch Atmospheric Chemist,  Ozone, ozone layer, ozone depletion, nobel prize, humankindThe Man Who Saved the World
Once individuals and corporate entities face the facts, realize the truths, and become selfless, humankind will do just fine in spite of ourselves. I just pray we come together as one team before it is too late. Don't say that will never happen, because humankind did accomplish this once before! Yes, only once, but we must learn from history how successful this worldwide effort was and still is today. All started by one man who received a Nobel Prize. Thanks to this Dutch Atmospheric Chemist, Paul Jozef Crutzen, many say the world was saved. His research discovered the effects of Ozone-Depleting compounds and our world came together to pass laws to stop and reverse the damage being done to our Ozone Layer. People, politicians, and corporations became selfless after evaluating all the facts. NASA, America's space program, began documenting the damaged Ozone Layer from space and the world came together. At the time, President Reagan challenged the DuPont Company to find a replacement for their damaging chemicals, they did and stayed solvent. Products stopped being sold and companies changed manufacturing procedures for all products that were contributing to the destruction of our Ozone Layer. The Montreal Protocol treaty came into existence, because humankind of our world came together! Today, the improved and repaired Ozone Layer is a testament to humankind. So yes, I know we can work together as one team once again. We just need a few more real "Superheroes" like Paul Crutzen.

Monday, March 23, 2015 at St. John's University
8000 Utopia Parkway, Queens, New York

St. John's University, Bill Lauto, Environmental Studies, Environmental Science, Energy savings, sustainability, going green, going true green, save the earth, save the worldSaint John's University Campus
Bill Lauto, our publisher and author of this Going True Green (GTG) Blog, will be lecturing at Saint John's University in March. This presentation and lecture will cover three topics.
First: The different sustainable energy sources known to man.
Second: Personal choices we make each day to live a sustainable life and how surfeit greed causes a multitude of environmental and energy problems.
Third: To evaluate the real scientific data on Climate Change and not partake in the
pseudo-science presented by the far left and the far right solely for the purpose of making money.

Mr. Lauto is an Environmental Scientist,
International Sustainability Consultant, Patent and Trademark Holder. Mr. Lauto's
goal is to teach individuals, families and businesses how to achieve the deepest green color possible by becoming educated and committed within their own budget of time and money. "Only then can we say that we didn't squander our children's tomorrow on this planet we call Earth," is routinely stated by Mr. Lauto.

EARTH TIME

3/11/2015

0 Comments

 
apple watch, iwatch, time, watch, clock, world's fair, time watching tv, God, Jesus, Time travelHave the Time?
At New York's 1964 World's Fair, Disney had an attraction called the Carousel of Progress, where you traveled through "time" to witness all the modern conveniences that have come into our lives over the decades. The theme song, There's A Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow, will still pop into my head when I see another new device that should make our lives easier. (The song didn't replay in my head when I saw the new Apple Watch, because this new product appears to be more about what people want as opposed to what people need. Besides, many already have this, its called an iPhone.)

Yet, despite all our modern tools to give us more time, most of us only have less time. For some, we are using that extra time to do much more than the regular responsibilities of the day. Such as volunteering for several programs at church, community, along with helping family and friends. Perhaps an extra job to make "ends" meet, developing a social program of your own, inventing a better product, evaluating new ways to consume less energy and help the environment around your own home. To some other people they see you as having "too much time" on your hands, but the reality is that you mastered our modern tools to give you more time, thus allowing you to do so much more.

Today, for most kids graduating High School, they will spend 15,000 hours in front of a screen and only 11,000 hours in a classroom. Our modern electronic babysitter has pre-schoolers watching 5,000 hours of television. By the time you reach the age of 75 years, the average person will spend 13 YEARS of their LIVES watching television, about 3 YEARS watching commercials! Opening Junk Mail will consume 8 MONTHS of our lives, while we spend 6 MONTHS sitting at a red traffic light.

So how much "time" do we spend on what we truly value and then how much time is left over for us to help save the world? With all of today's time saving conveniences, this should be no problem, right?

Surveys show that most people are not managing their time well at all and they are allowing modern tools to consume their time instead of offering more time. Please spend a minute of your time now to read and learn the following:

An average married couple today spends only 4 minutes a day in meaningful conversation!
An average working couple spends only 30 SECONDS a day in conversation with their children!
An average American will only think about saving some energy when an extra high electric bill arrives.
An average American will only do something about saving energy and our environment just a few times in their life.
An average American who goes to church each week will spend only 6 MONTHS on a relationship with God by the age of 75 years. That 6 months is the same amount of time spent sitting at a red traffic light! Yet, we spend 13 years watching TV!

How many of us don't taste a food because we "think" we won't like it. How many of us don't experience the great outdoors because we fear it, how many of us spurn God because we don't understand. 
The author of Upper Room, The Way: 33AD to 57AD stated, "If you limit yourself to what you know and like, then you limit your knowledge." The answers can be found for everything if we only spend a little more "time" evaluating all the facts, the complete picture, with an unpretentious eye. 
This then will give us the truth and knowledge to be a VANGUARD in everything we do and we will have the time to do it. After all, science has proven that "time" doesn't exist. We humans made up time to measure the coming and passing of things. Therefore, not having the time isn't a problem and science's "no such thing as time" may just be the explanation to how God always was and always will be.

I will now take the time to thank Fr. Kevin Cronin, OFM (franmow.org) for providing survey data about TIME here on Earth.

    Bill Lauto, Environmentalist, Energy Consultant
    Bill Lauto came on the scene in 1981 to present facts and teach details about how we can save our environment without making  sacrifices. He demonstrated how correctly implementing the technology we already obtained in 1981, allowed us to save Money, Energy and Earth. He voice was one among the few who taught green facts long before anyone else talked about sustainability. 
       Bill Lauto's Credentials
    By 1994 the Internet was being explored as a tool to provide energy saving information to all of America by Mr. Lauto. Having the foresight, he first launched the Light Bulb HotLine web site off of the company's Domain in 1996. Then in April of 2001, EnergyHotwire became a resource. Today,
    GoingTrueGreen.com presents decades of info to dispel mis-information and provide the facts about truly Going True Green.
