This talk extends previous discussions regarding the application of the Four Noble Truths doctrine to the complex environmental degradation experienced by this and future generations.  This talk considered both the “cultural karma” of the industrial and consumer eras and the individual responsibility we all are faced with in deciding how to live in the world.  The Noble Eightfold Path provides practical suggestions for addressing these concerns; after descriptions were provided, participants talked about their concerns and possible lifestyle changes to address this problem.  “As difficult as it seems to be, we can only change the world one person at a time”.

Here are the notes prepared for this talk:  Interdependence With The Environment

Next week’s topic will focus on the Four Noble Truths and the media.
