Your Carbon Footprints

🌍 Why Should You Track Your Carbon Footprint? Every action we take—be it driving our vehicle, buying new clothes, or running air conditioners—adds to our carbon footprint, which directly contributes to climate change and environmental degradation. But it's not just the planet that suffers. Excess consumption, cluttered lifestyles, and the constant chase for more also disturb the tranquility of our minds. This calculator helps you measure how your everyday choices contribute to environmental impact. By becoming aware, we can begin to choose consciously, reduce excesses, and move toward a more minimalist lifestyle—one that is lighter on the planet and more peaceful within.

🔍 How is your carbon footprint calculated?
We estimate the CO₂ emissions based on three major lifestyle choices:

  • Personal vehicle travel: Every kilometer driven by a fuel-based vehicle emits about 0.21 kg of CO₂.
  • Clothing purchases: Every new clothing item (including manufacturing and shipping) emits around 25 kg of CO₂.
  • Air conditioner usage: Each hour of AC usage emits approximately 1.5 kg of CO₂, depending on energy source and efficiency.
These values are multiplied with your inputs to give a monthly total estimate. This helps you become aware of your environmental impact and take simple steps to reduce it.

The False Illusion of 'I': Transcending the Observer and Experiencer

Image
The False Illusion of 'I': Transcending the Observer and Experiencer Throughout human history, thinkers, mystics, and philosophers have pondered the nature of selfhood. Who or what is the "I" that observes, thinks, and experiences? Is there truly an observer distinct from the observed, or is this duality a mere illusion? This article delves into these profound questions, examining the nature of the self, the illusion of separation, and the path to transcending this false division. The Illusion of the Observer One of the fundamental misconceptions of human consciousness is the belief in an independent observer. The mind assumes that there is a fixed "I" that perceives reality, separate from thoughts, emotions, and experiences. This belief is deeply ingrained, leading to the assumption that the observer exists as an entity distinct from what is observed. However, if we examine this assumption closely, we see that the observer is not separate—it arises in the v...

Life is so precious

Life is incredibly precious, and each moment is a gift from God. We only need to approach it with the curiosity of a child, unwrapping it with an open heart to discover what lies within. As we embrace our childlike nature, the external knowledge we have accumulated throughout our lives begins to fade away, and we start accepting the existence of God without questioning the teachings we've received thus far. We have been taught that we belong to a specific religion and should not follow the teachings of other religions. Hindus are told not to enter a Muslim mosque or Jain temple, while Muslims are discouraged from praying in Hindu temples or Christian churches. To truly know God, we must let go of this inherited knowledge that has been passed down for thousands of years and adopt the innocent mind of a child. In doing so, we can feel the presence of God in even the tiniest particles created by Him, permeating every corner of the universe. This childlike mindset serves as the first s...

What If You Woke Up Transformed into a Cockroach?

  The Utilitarian View of Being Human and the Feeling of Absurd Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis is one of the most powerful allegories in literature, revealing the stark realities of human existence. Through the surreal transformation of Gregor Samsa into a giant insect, Kafka explores the fragility of identity, the burdens of family and societal expectations, and the existential absurdity of life. This novella invites reflection on the utilitarian view of being human , wherein an individual's worth is determined by their ability to serve others. Simultaneously, the story illuminates the feeling of absurdity —the dissonance between humanity’s search for meaning and the chaotic, indifferent reality of life. In this article, we will explore how Kafka’s novella encapsulates these two philosophical dimensions and what it teaches us about the human condition. Gregor Samsa as a Victim of Utilitarianism From the very beginning of The Metamorphosis , it is clear that Gregor Samsa’s existe...
