Change: a holistic approach

I just read an editorial that said that pursuing eco-friendly lifestyles “is of secondary importance” compared to political and collective solutions. Often times, we in American culture like to compartmentalize our lives. What I mean by this is we like to have our work life, our home life, our political life, our spiritual life, and the list goes on and on. So in many ways I feel the author feels out political lifestyle is much more important than say our home lifestyle. If we as a society are going to see change in our sustainable stance we need to take a holistic approach that unifies what our political actions are with all of the other compartments that we box our lives into.
