Acharya Prashant addresses the climate crisis, linking it directly to the inner state of human beings. He begins by acknowledging that while the COVID-19 lockdowns showed the environment could bounce back, the data reveals this recovery was "quite insignificant." He points out that while air travel and traffic pollution decreased, consumption within households did not drastically go down. He argues that this small change still offers hope, demonstrating that if our very lifestyles are changed, a lot can be accomplished. Given the urgency of the climate crisis, with a timeline of five to ten years at most, he emphasizes that drastic changes in the lifestyle of the common person are necessary. However, Acharya Prashant cautions against imposing drastic approaches externally, as they will not last and will likely face a blowback, much like the societal resistance to COVID restrictions. He suggests that instead of forcing everyone, a change initiated by a "sizable minority"—perhaps even a genuine 10% of the population that wholeheartedly agrees—would be sufficient to start a snowball effect. The influence of this sincere community would then grow, leading to wider change. He states that such a change must come from people agreeing to it themselves, rather than being coerced. He further explains that the climate crisis is an external manifestation of a deeper, inner crisis—a crisis of religion and spirituality. He defines true religion as the path to bring the restless mind to peace and sanity. He asserts that people are living "rotten lives," and this inner decay is what emits carbon. The solution, therefore, is an "inner revolution." By helping people to truly live, their interest in false consumerism, meaningless entertainment, and other destructive habits will naturally diminish, thereby reducing their carbon footprint. The core solution is summarized as "more love, less carbon." When asked about systemic issues like capitalism, Acharya Prashant clarifies that it is not the economic system itself that is the fundamental problem, but the human being operating within it. He describes capitalism at a psychological level as a superficial relationship founded on profit, where one produces what another desires and then creates conditions to make them desire even more. He concludes that it is the "capitalist" who fails, not capitalism. The same human follies would plague any other system, be it socialism or communism. The ultimate solution lies in changing the individual from within through spiritual understanding.
