On the occasion of Earth Day, April 22, the American Haidakhandi Samaj is reaching out to members to collectively participate in the Love Our Earth Project, an initiative of the Samaj that benefits nature and the environment in your area.
Babaji said: "Wherever you live, you must work hard to provide whatever your country lacks." (Teachings of Babaji, p. 121).
In observance of Earth Day, a global day of action, the Samaj encourages the Babaji community to take steps to lessen the crucial challenges facing nature and the environment. This forum is dedicated to sharing ways to conserve resources and energy, as well as pro-active ways to care for our earth.
Babaji was known to be frugal and conservative with resources. He asked devotees to save nails from buildings, save boxes and wrapping paper from gifts, etc. to be reused and repurposed. You are invited to share your activities of conservation to reduce our footprint on mother earth. Please join our discussion, share you do for conservation, and let us grow together with more knowledge and inspiration.

I'm an avid recycler but then Boulder makes it easy. In Crestone, I used to have to drive it an hour every couple of weeks, but now I just bring it all up to Boulder when I go. I use biodegradable trash bags and food storage bags, and I cut all the plastic rings so animals don't choke or get stuck in them. I have a "Big Green Box" in every house to recycle batteries, and I heard they are now called "WeRecycle Battery Box".
I'm sure I could do more and I'm always willing to learn. Oh, and I've switched to laundry detergent packets to eliminate the big jugs I used to buy. Happy Earth Day!
