Environmental Crisis or the Crisis of the Heart?The Earth is the only planet providing the delicate combination of water, the right temperature, and other parameters for life to be possible. The distance of the Earth from the Sun as well as its orbital eccentricity, the rate of its rotation and its axial tilt are critically mapped to allow a sustainable atmosphere and a protective magnetic field for life to exist and flourish on this planet. But the planet is now under serious stress. This short reflection on the nature of the current environmental crisis provides a new window to understand certain hidden connections between the human heart and our natural environment.
