While it smacks of virtue signaling, I found the recent video released by Apple to be a great way to get into the Holiday spirits. In 2020, Apple promised to bring its entire carbon footprint to net zero by 2030 — through innovations in materials, clean energy, low-carbon shipping, and restoring natural ecosystems. In the video Mother Nature needs a status report from Apple’s environmental team. And it better be good.
The High Holiday is the season of accounting. We need to explore everything we did wrong, but in some ways that is the easy part. What is much harder and even more important is looking at everything we did not do. Have we lived up to our potential? Have we done what the world ( including Mother Nature) needs of us?
Who are we accountable to in our lives? Who gives us direct feedback on how we are doing? What the the regularity of that check in? While none of us will get that visit from Mother Nature, this is the time of the year to seek it out.
