The global carbon footprint is a huge topic of political and social discourse. We are all guilty of perpetuating the need for logistics companies to deliver our online purchases. How bad is e-commerce for the environment? Reducing emissions, clean energy, carbon offsets, carbon neutral...ugh, And then there's our emotional footprint. Defined by studies in neuroscience, our emotional footprint is gaining more traction in sociology. It has a very real impact on social well being and goodwill. It's not about how much cow you are eating, motors you are operating or electrical gadgets you enjoy. It's about actions and reactions causing a ripple effect, which intentional on not, determines the trajectory of reciprocal human behavior. Simply put, a temper tantrum will put onlookers in a bad mood and an act of kindness naturally brings joy to observers. The emotional footprint is all about that term we hear so often: mindfulness. Are you fully aware of how your behaviors affect others? What do you radiate? Goodwill or impetuousness? Have a think. Just a couple random discussion topics for your happy hour tonight.
