Meditation & Spirituality Must Accompany Climate Efforts, Argues Hindu Activist

Spirituality, meditation, yoga, and veganism are all key pillars to saving the planet, argues Hindu activist Joachim Pils, who serves as an advisor on solar energy for the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University.

Pils, who touts that he lives in a mud brick “energy-friendly” house that runs 100% on renewable energy, claims that religion must inform the climate debate as it helps people “progress spiritually forward.” On the topic of President-elect Trump, Pils said, “Your new president probably will pull out of the [climate] process, from the United Nations process, and weaken the whole global efforts to deal with that problem."
