In lesson seven\u2019s contemplative practice, \u201cClimate Complexity\u201d, the idea of triple inequality stuck with me. This is the idea that those who are least responsible for climate change are the ones hit the hardest by its effects, and then of course these people have the hardest time rebuilding afterwards. This gives a lot of insight to the privilege we have living in a developed country. It is a norm and basically a necessity that we drive cars to work, take planes to travel, produce waste, and consume products manufactured in factories. These are all basics to us, but they all contribute significantly to climate change. Adding to our privilege, we rarely see firsthand the consequences and the harm that our actions are doing to the environment. The people who don\u2019t enjoy the luxuries we do, face the consequences. This doesn\u2019t sit right with me, and I hope that in the future there will be more efforts to reduce carbon emissions and climate change, and more efforts to improve infrastructure and aid in developing countries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
