Our family has been trying to live according to Buddhist ecological principles for years, but family dinners have become tense discussions about who's being mindful enough, whose carbon footprint is smaller, and whether someone's food choices align with our values. We used to enjoy sharing meals and talking about our garden and composting adventures, but now everyone walks on eggshells and my teenage kids roll their eyes whenever sustainability comes up.
More people experience this than they realize.
A family's shared commitment to Buddhist ecological living has calcified into judgment and performance, squeezing out the wonder and playfulness that makes sustainable practice sustainable.
