Steemit is so amazing… you can be an active member for months and still discover new things every day! I recently came across an amazing community/initiative and I’m very excited to announce that I’ve become a new passenger aboard the #ecotrain!
What is the EcoTrain?
If you check out the introductory article by @eco-alex, you will see that the EcoTrain is about many things. The EcoTrain motto and definition of ‘eco’ is:
“Things that help to make the world a better place.”
It is a small and close-knit community of people that cover a HUGE variety of topics like spirituality, ecoBuilding, healthy vegan recipes, cosmic knowledge, philosophy, psychology, writing, and more!
My Steemit identity is based entirely on this concept of making the world a better place. Oh so long ago (only four months actually), I posted my introductory article with the philosophical question:
Is doing the least amount of harm synonymous with doing the most amount of good?
I sometimes go back to re-read what I wrote in order to ground myself. I said…
“I wish to change the world for the better… to create a positive
force that sweeps through the people around me. I want to do the most amount of “good” - to volunteer, to stretch out a helping hand, to save lives, and be a role model.
But, while I can certainly make an impact, I cannot shoulder the weight of the world. I cannot and I will not take that responsibility.
I can only change and improve myself… and my world. So I am going to strive to reduce the negatives in my life and do the least amount of harm. This is my story of personal development and growth as a human being.”
I write about homesteading, gardening, nature, agriculture, healthy recipes, zero-waste products, and so much more! I’m also trying to start my own Steem powered homestead! It’s a lot of work to change my entire lifestyle but I believe it is worth it… because I truly want my presence to leave an impact and make the world better.
Ask yourself the same question I did so many months ago…
If I am not living the life that I want, then what is the point? If I am not the embodiment of my values, who am I?
So I am very excited to join a community with similar values and beliefs and I look forward to seeing where we all go from here!
