Our Mother Earth has blessed us endlessly. I am so amazed by her systems and abundance. I enjoy watch the shows that exemplify her beauty. The natural gifts she gives us that heal our bodies, minds and souls.

Here are six things you can do today to celebrate our Earth every day!
Turn off the light - If you have an electric rate of 20 cents per kilowatt-hour, then you can save about 1.2 cents when you turn off a light bulb per hour.
*
Plant a Tree - In just ten years, an improbable idea has grown into a global movement. With your help, Ecosia has become the organization that has enabled the planting of more native and biodiverse tree species globally than any other. 100 million trees tackle the climate crisis by removing 1771 tonnes of CO2 every day.
*
Shorten your shower - On average, every minute of shower time equates to 2 gallons of water, and the shower of an average American lasts 8 minutes. If you shower daily, cutting back your shower time by just a minute could save sixty gallons of water per month.
*
Recycle - The reason why recycling is so important is that it prevents pollution, reduces the need to harvest new raw materials, saves energy, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, saves money, reduces the amount of waste that ends up in landfills, and allows products to be used to their fullest extent.
*
Save Leftovers - When food is wasted, the land, water, energy, and other inputs that are used in producing, processing, transporting, preparing, storing, and disposing the food are wasted as well. Reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
*
Shop Sustainably - Making energy-efficient purchases is one of the more meaningful ways you can cut your personal carbon footprint. Electricity and heat production account for about a quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions, and most electricity produced in the United States still comes from fossil fuels.
