ARE WE OUR PLANET'S KEEPER?

There is a scripture in Genesis where Cain asks God, "Am I my brother's keeper?" after he has slain him. Perhaps. we could ask the same question of this majestic Earth we do so much harm to. Are we our planet's keeper? Do our actions matter? Is it our responsibility to preserve her? To prevent her demise--even on an individual level? My answer is yes. I am my planet's keeper. Below are some recommendations for doing your part to be good to Gaia.

Personal Sustainability Matters for Fulfillment, & Mental/Spiritual Wellness

Being a very spiritual person with perfect wellness and strong mastery who lives in excellence is worth very little, I feel if that person has no concern at all for the planet. This Home we share with millions of other species is theirs as much as ours. We need to respect and honor that sacred fact. As such, below you will find strategies for what I call Lifestyle Sustainability--practical ways to be a better citizen of the planet. Read on and put 2-3 you aren't already doing into practice!

Your commitment to honoring Life Beyond Humans matters. See the sustainability tips below to learn how your simple actions can make a difference!
