2moAs I continue my discussion on sustainability, I'd like to clarify that Sanatan is not a religion, but a lifestyle suited for tropical geographies. Similarly, Islam, which originates from desert regions, also emphasizes sustainability in its teachings and principles, including: - Stewardship: responsible for protecting and preserving the Earth. - Conservation: principals emphasizes conserving natural resources and avoiding waste. - Environmental justice: All living beings have a right to a healthy and safe environment. - Interconnectedness: The principals highlights the interconnectedness of all living things and the environment. - Accountability: accountable for actions on Earth, including their impact on the environment. key principles that support sustainability are: - Tawhid (oneness with the creator): Recognizing the unity and interconnectedness . - Adl (justice): Ensuring fairness and justice in resource use - Ihsan (compassion): Showing kindness and compassion. Let's embrace a sustainability mindset to ensure a comfortable and thriving planet for a long future.
