Acharya Prashant explains that the current environmental crisis, including climate change and global warming, is fundamentally a crisis of human consciousness. He argues that all environmental damage is anthropogenic, caused by the internal heat of human desires and the extremism of the ego. While external indicators like air quality, groundwater levels, and species extinction are important to monitor, focusing solely on these external factors is insufficient. He asserts that the filth in our rivers and the pollution in our air are direct reflections of the inner filth and lack of human quality within ourselves.
