Happy Earth Day to you and yours! While we all know the importance of reduce, reuse, recycle, there are numerous ways to honor Mother Earth each and every day. Below are eight of my favorites:
1. Support farmers’ markets. Grab your reusable bag and hit your local market for flowers, fruits, and veggies. Or join a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture).
2. Skip disposable and tote reusable water bottles and cups. Less waste, more libation.
3. Spread kindness to all beings. Recycle. Pick up litter. Relocate uninvited critters (yep, even spiders) outdoors. Tread lightly. Practice mindfulness.
4. Support slow fashion. Americans toss an average of 68 pounds of clothing annually. Choose quality and versatility. Watch The True Cost documentary. Try TranquiliT (save 20% with code EARTHDAY).
5. Use eco-friendly cleaning products (or make your own). Forgo the chemicals and go DIY.
6. Go veg. Meat production is one of the largest sources of water pollution, greenhouse gases, and loss of biodiversity. 10 reasons why it’s green to go veg.
7. Get your hands dirty. Plant a veggie or herb garden. Add pink impatiens or purple pansies to terra cotta pots. Insert a pop of color with a bright green pothos or philodendron.
8. Spend time in nature. Savor a dose of fresh air and put things in perspective. Einstein said, “Look deep into nature, and you will understand everything better.”
How do you like to honor Mother Earth in your daily life?
Wishing you a beautiful weekend filled with deep connection to the world around you. Bisous. x
