Three Words we Should Never Use.
 
Those of us who revere our wonderful and sustaining planet earth have some words we must never use because they are blasphemy. All of our earth is sacred, no exceptions, so the word rubbish is blasphemy. It makes profane even a small part of the sacred. There is no such thing as throwing something away. There is no place "away", everywhere is somewhere and in fact, everywhere is some where special. All objects are created, are used and need a fitting and respectful end to their life and to throw something away into a dump is an ignorant irreverence. The word commodity is also quite unacceptable There is nothing that is value free. Everything has a personal or planetary price such as meat, dairy products, timber, and iron ore. Some day our planet will be given its due respect but from our present state, it seems a long way off.

Everything should come with a price. Not necessarily money, but everytimes you kill a plant or an animal to feed yourself, you should repay it somehow.

Everything does come with a price - but everything also comes with a benefit.

The trick is determining if the benefit outweighs the cost.

Maybe I haven't made myself clear but the three inappropriate words are rubbish, away as in to throw away, and commodity.
For sure, we live on this planet and have to use things to live but we meed to recognize this fact and do so in a thoughtful and considerate way. Where I live, there is being constructed literally a mountain of rubbish that is being covered over with soil in layers. What a staggering monument is being created as a shrine to our consumerism and the pillaging of the planet. All of this could be recycled in some way but it take some effort and even money but no we go for the easy solution and keep our money so we can buy even more.
