Your emotions are carbon

The following is an excerpt from a samvaad (dialogue) session with Acharya Prashant.

Acharya Prashant (AP): When you don’t operate from a spiritual center, then you operate from an emotional center. These emotions are causing this climate change. You are so emotional about that next foreign holiday, right? That is carbon intensive. You are so emotional about having a good, nice nest of your own — that is carbon. You are so emotional about having two nice kids — that is emotion, and that is carbon.

Think of it: whenever you go emotional, you start releasing carbon dioxide, don’t you? When you go emotional, you either drink — and that is carbon — or you go and have a party — and that is carbon. And I am really surprised that so many people who are highly emotional are into climate activism, when the entire problem is of emotions. Emotions equals carbon in a big way.

The solution to this emotional center is nothing but spirituality.
