Learning to live in harmony with our natural world is the most pressing need of our time. As more of us are exposed to increasing streams of information there is also a need to access greater calm and compassion. In order to hear the call to live as global citizens, we need to take greater care for each other and our increasingly fragile Earth.

Brahma Kumaris Environment Initiative is about awakening greater environmental awareness within our own organisation, as well as collaborating and learning from others through dialogue, partnerships, UN conferences and local initiatives.
 
As a spiritual organisation our main aim is to help people to experience greater well-being through inner peace and higher values. Hence our environmental initiative is based on four main principles:

* Living simply * Buying compassionately * Learning continuously * Sharing generously

Collaboration

miljologoAn important part of the BK Environment Initiative is to learn from and collaborate with other inspiring organisations who share our love and concern for the future.  There are many uncertainties about the present environmental crises, but one thing is absolutely certain – that hope lies in working together as a human family, sharing our knowledge and insights with each other as much as we can.

In this spirit of appreciation, here are a few organisations we work with on different projects/committees or we have met at events and conferences - some we are starting to work with in formal or informal ways, others who are just as important as sources of inspiration.

GREEN THOUGHT FOR TODAY

We are all here on this planet, as it were, as tourists. The most important thing is to be a good human being. Dalai Lama
