Planet

When I became plant based, I never understood the impact of what we eat and how it’s made could affect our planet. This is the Tower Garden.

When I became plant based, I never understood the impact of what we eat and how it’s made could affect our planet. These are new things I am learning each day, but feel we all need to do a better job at protecting this amazing earth we live on. Me and my husband have decided to really and truly focus on growing as much food as we can. We are focusing on concepts like urban farming, foodscaping around our home, and going with Solar. Again, I am learning and 100% admit to this. Just think if we each did a little bit for our earth what could happen. I will be sharing documentaries and articles that I find super informative.

Stats

*Using recycled paper for one days worth of the NY Times Sunday Edition would save approx. 75.000 trees.

*According to Worldwatch Institute, one hundred billion plastic bags are made each year and thrown away. Less than 1% find their way into a recycle bin. Result is 1 billion birds and animals die each year due to ingestion.

*500 million plastic straws are used every day in America. That’s enough to circle the earth twice.

*There is more microplastic in the ocean than there are stars in the Milky Way

*One acre of land can yield…. 50,000 pounds of tomatoes, 53,000 pounds of potatoes, 30,000 pounds of carrots OR only 250 pounds of beef.

*Taking meat off your plate can cut your carbon footprint in half!

*If everyone stopped consuming meat, we would have enough grain to feed 14 billion people a plant based diet. That is enough to feed the worlds hungry more than one and a half times over.

*Our everyday food choice really can create and pave the way for a sustainable earth. One thing you can do each day is choose a plant based/vegan meal.

Health is a whole state of mind, body, and spirit. I used to think it was just what I ate that defined my health. Now being a mom and wife I understand it is the 5 P’s of health; Plants, Prevention, Personal Care, Planet, and People.

We are made of 360 degrees of awesomeness, yet it is often difficult to love every part of who we are. I have dedicated my life to helping others and myself with overall better self -care and self- love. I often get lost in this fast pace moving world and that mentality of doing a lot defines success.

However, I always find my way back to reality and what is most important to me, ME. If I am not constantly working on bettering me, then I am not going to be able to be fully present for those I love the most..my family, friends, and YOU. I am worth it-You Are Worth It.

Give yourself grace, hold tight to what you love the most, and know that the cave of fear is just poofs in our brain that we make up. I hope you enjoy this site. It is support on all levels for you and for me. Your Call to Action is to love yourself.
