Environmental awareness is part of the original practice of feng shui. Environmental awareness also keeps you mentally and physically fit. It’s important to the spiritual and emotional wellbeing of humans (especially children).

Environmental awareness is one way to have an encounter with something greater than you are, no matter your religion or spiritual tastes.

It might also bring you to a greater awareness of how what you do with your money determines the kind of world you and your children live in and can expect in the future.

Full cost accounting (also known as true cost accounting) requires that we take public health and environmental stewardship into consideration when we purchase products — from toilet paper to dog food and feng shui services.

How much would you drive if your transportation costs were all-inclusive? You’d pay at the pump for air pollution, road construction and maintenance; property taxes lost from land cleared for freeways; free parking paid for by taxes; noise and vibration damage to structures; protection of petroleum supply lines; sprawl and loss of transportation options; auto accidents; and congestion.

You would pay more than US $6 per gallon of gas and cars would have more than $42,000 added to the sticker price, according to true cost pricing.
