But the alternative to hypocrisy isn't moral purity (no one manages that), but cynicism.Elena Jane Goulding ( / ˈ ɡ oʊ l d ɪ ŋ/ GOHL-ding born 30 December 1986) is an English singer and songwriter. Greens have high aspirations – they want to live more ethically – and they will always fall short. Hypocrisy is the gap between your aspirations and your actions. Time for us all, as patrons of this planet, to give it the respect it deserves! Ellie x Nothing ever got done by sitting back and letting others do it. I implore anyone reading this now to be conscious of what is going on in the world - reconnect with nature and the outdoors when you can (also so good for mental health) read reliable news sources, learn about science (new discoveries constantly- you can have new articles come up on your phone every day) think about food choices, how much plastic is in your household, joining/supporting an organisation such as the WWF, Greenpeace or the US Sunrise Movement.
As exhausting as it is, it looks like we have to take it into our own hands, once again, as we have many times before in this world, when we know political will isn’t truly there. I know when I am inactive for a short time between speaking up about protecting this planet, I get messages of, “Why haven't you spoken about this?” No one can win in my position, so I just keep going anyway. I can just do my bit and push it as far as I can in my position. But I’m still astounded how little some of the bigger leaders of the world are taking it seriously.Īs we are all addicted to calling others hypocrites to make ourselves feel better, I preface this with telling you that I am learning as much as you are, and as much as I try, I can’t be a perfect person. It certainly doesn’t seem to be the young ones who need persuading. Being at reminded me of how great humans can be.
