Environmental Debate

Save the planet and psychiatry?
Many psychiatric problems are medically induced. If we look at our pollutants, air, water, food, fabrics and building materials then we see the bigger picture. Irrespective of the longer term issues of climate change, short term issues of pollution are intuitively important reasons to consider moving away from fossil fuels.
Money, an important cause of stress, trying to get some, keep some and save some for later use. Buying less will save a lot of stress. Most of what we buy we do not need. 30% of the food we buy rots in our fridge. Make your own, grow your own, buy less, eat less produced food, buy less clothes, technology and save your working life from causing you stress.
Spend more time with friends. Less time isolated in front of the computer with virtual friends and more time connecting with other people is a good way to ensure mental well being. This cares for our social environment. Do some voluntary work, maybe even related to . to saving our planet. It is good for you as well as good for the greater scheme of things. So many people feel that their life has little value. It could have huge value if you look around at the need in this world seeking someone to lead the way.
Thanks to the inspiration of 1 million women, presentation last night at the PowerHouse in Brisbane and the leadership of Natalie Isaacs.
