every day is earth day

Today is earth day! I felt kinda emotional writing this blog post because more than ever I appreciate our planet and the things we (normally) can do on it. Although I am thankful that we’ve still been able to do a few things here and there, I am really missing the ability to travel and share these things with groups of people (that we love)
Here are some great links + resources to share in honour of earth day:

🌎 Here are 8 meaningful things you can do for the climate today
I’ve been especially focused on reducing my carbon footprint in the last few years, and although I know we have a long way to go, am always finding little ways we can improve and make an impact. To me, the biggest thing to note is that we don’t have to make an unrealistic commitment that doesn’t feel realistic. It is about making little changes in our lives that will make a positive impact on our communities and the world.
A few books I have read and loved are Clean Green & Grow Green and I am also looking forward to picking up a copy of Imagine It - a handbook for a happier planet
🌎 Some things you can do today + every day for our planet:🌎
Support eco-friendly brands and businesses
Buy vintage or pre-loved items
Be intentional about where you travel in the future and with who
Learn ways to save on energy, water & electricity at home
Educate yourself on garbage, recycling, composting etc.
Use reusable bags, coffee cups, water bottles and containers
Eat more fruits and vegetables from local places
Grow herbs, flowers, fruits & veggies if you can
Use green eco-friendly cleaning products around your home
Donate gently used items who people who may be in need
So thankful for all of the beauty we get to experience in Canada and around the world, and cannot wait for the day that we can truly explore and experience in a way we’ve been dreaming of.
