Living With Harmony: The Wellness Blueprint with John Pierre (vegan), Part 2 of 2

“It’s like, if I came to your house to stay for a week, I just wouldn’t cause disaster there and mess it up. It’s the same thing in the world. Nature provides for us all this beautiful food and air and land. The least we can do is be stewards and take care of it.” Living With Harmony promotes what John calls “Planet-Based Living,” a lifestyle that includes a vegan diet, compassion for all beings, and respectful use of Earth’s resources.

“So, we keep buckets, big five-gallon buckets next to our sink, and we collect pretty much every drop of water, and then we water the plants and garden and things like that. And other things you can do is, most everything that I buy is from a thrift store, or Craigslist, or people will give me. What you’re trying to do is develop that mindset of being respectful to nature, that you don’t want to take more than you need.” “When you go on a cruise, a cruise is not environmentally friendly. These poor animals rely on echolocation and sonar to navigate. And that’s why we’re seeing a lot of these animals, they theorize, beaching themselves, because they’re so confused on where they’re at.”

“And I’ve seen people’s lives transform. That’s why my whole life is devoted to trying to teach love and compassion because miracles happen when people get to experience that energy of love and kindness.” “One of the best things that we can do in the world is go to a pound, an animal shelter, and adopt an animal. It’s probably one of the most healing things that you can do, is to get some sort of animal that you can take care of and especially if you can walk them or at least play with them.”
