It has now been the imperative issue for human beings to solve the problems caused by global climate change and greenhouse effect which have involved in environmental pollution and ecological imbalance, making people feel the threat preventing from sustainable living and development, and have incurred human’s spiritual emptiness for nothing worth to devote our life. Along with this emptiness, dissatisfactions, frustrations, and anxieties come across generating many social issues. Since the far beginning of mankind history, human spent most of the time living in a natural land. Our ancestors even our parents spent their entire life confronting winds and rains, fighting for cloths and foods from this land to meet our needs. Human coexist with the environment. Over the years, the lost of the natural lands reflects how today destruction has overshadowed the original beauty where fishes were freely swimming back and forth underwater, bringing the springhead for plenty of happy time. Now it is buried under trash. This frustration has made human beings just complain about it but forget everything can also be changed right from ourselves. We are all part of nature. Our concept and behavior is the only way to solve environmental issues. The concept formation of environmental protection must start with our HEART because the environmental protection of the mind can bring well-beings of everything. Environmental protection is not just a philosophy of living, but more like an art of living. The theory for the environmental protection of the mind such as “know your blessings and cherish them” and the action of resource recycling from Tzu Chi are the good living idea for “Turn piece of crack into magic, empower trash to be all-new resource”. This idea not only conserves energy and reduces carbon emission, but also has the effect to achieve sustainable development. If we can deliver the concept of environmental protection on our life and make resource recyclable, our part of life will change to maintain a clean and beautiful environment. Resource recycling is an environmental action, and an environmental education as well. “While working, learn; While learning, awaken to the many truths of life.” Through the experience of doing recycle, human beings can live ever healthier, happier and also help recovering nature beauty. With the limited resource on earth, the torch which can lead to advance human’s civilization is based on environmental education, which is also the critical key to whether economy, environmental protection or sustainable society. These are the topic covered in this essay. With the academic method “Query, Probe, Solve”, the content tries to guide people on earth think again the issues we face in the moment we live and live out the truth happiness by reflection and f-examination.
