I’m planning to spend as much time as possible out in these mountains this weekend and no matter where you live I hope you get outside too and take some time to connect with the beautiful world around you.⠀
⠀
Caring deeply is one of the best ways to influence change, it’s infectious, and exciting, and getting out and having fun in nature with your friends and family is one of the best ways you can get more people to care about our home and planet 🌎 #thewellimpact

IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU (and I mean that in the kindest way possible)⠀
⠀
Since sharing yesterday about the #amazonrainforestemergency, and the ways in which those of us living outside of the Amazon can take steps to help, I have received literally hundreds of messages from people voicing their pain and sadness and anxiety for the current global emergency...and I want to address it because we need to put some things in perspective.⠀
⠀
#1: You are absolutely allowed to feel how you feel, and the Amazon Rainforest crisis is absolutely a GLOBAL crisis that impacts everyone, but overly centering yourself on issues that are not taking place within your specific region is not particularly helpful (said with 💕)⠀
⠀
#2: This issue is about more than just our collective environment, it is about indigenous land sovereignty, human rights violations, and a public health disaster engulfing those living in many South American countries (this is not just happening in Brazil).⠀
⠀
#3: Rather than allow your anxiety and feelings of helplessness and overwhelm to engulf you, allow yourself a set amount of time to feel those feelings, and then transfer that energy in ways that are productive.⠀
⠀
Here are some ways you can make an impact:⠀
#1: SHARE SHARE SHARE the #amazonrainforestemergency, the more pressure the media can put on governments reactions (both domestically and abroad) the better!⠀
#2: Donate to NGOs whose purpose is to support Indigenous people in the Amazon, and fight deforestation (both in the Amazon and globally!). I have tagged those NGOs I respect in this post, but I would love some recs from anyone who knows of local NGOs working on the ground⠀
#3: Support companies who use sustainable/ethical supply chains and whose social mission it is to fight deforestation. Corporate interest is greatly responsible for policies that have enabled/allowed deforestation globally.⠀
#4: Research what potential issues of deforestation are happening in YOUR country/region. We need to work together to fight this crisis and all deforestation around the world.⠀
#5: Be the best human you can be and fight that instinct to sit in how this crisis makes YOU feel and turn that energy outward ✨

These are our lungs, they clean our air, they create the oxygen we need to breathe, they keep us alive...and they are burning.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Rainforests all around the world are desperate for our help, but right now the Brazilian Amazon Rainforest, which produces 20% of our global oxygen supply, and is home to more than 1 million indigenous people and millions of other species is on fire.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
This year the rate of fires in the Amazon is up 84% (per the National Institute For Space Research), which is directly related to changes in weather patterns related to climate change, and Brazil's policy and President that have encouraged extensive logging and clearing for mass livestock farming (cheap beef most often used in fast food) in the Amazon Rainforest.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
So what can you do to help the Amazon?⁠⠀
⁠⠀
↠ Donate to conservation groups working on the frontlines to protect the Amazon Rainforest @rainforestalliance @rainforestactionnetwork @wwf @amazonwatch @rainforesttrust ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀
⁠↠ Support companies that are fighting deforestation (@tentree is a favorite of mine) and use responsible supply chains⁠⠀
↠ SHARE SHARE SHARE social media can influence large media coverage, which puts pressure on our governments' response to this crisis⁠⠀
↠ Use your voice during election seasons to VOTE for leaders who take our climate crisis seriously and believe in conserving and protecting our forests.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Do what you can, but do something #amazonrainforestemergency⁠⠀

THE BEGINNERS GARDEN COURSE IS LIVE 🙌🏻🌿☺️ ⠀
⠀
Gardening is such a huge part of my life (as you all are well aware) which is why I am SO happy to finally have The Beginners Garden Course out into the world! ⠀
⠀
I know that it will help so many of you wannabe gardeners (and current gardeners) feel incredibly confident and ready to tackle anything that comes your way in the garden, and I am so excited to be able to encourage you in your garden journey 🌿⠀
⠀
My main goal when creating this course was to help as many people as possible experience and embrace gardening because it will 100% improve your life, your connection with your food, and the way you experience the world around you. Not to mention if you have little kiddos it is THE BEST way to get them excited about food!⠀
⠀
If you jumped on my email list there is a 25% off code waiting in your inbox to celebrate the course launch, but it won’t be available for long! ⠀
⠀
So head to the link in my bio for all the delicious details that are waiting for you in The Beginners Garden and as always thank you for all your support 💕

I’m really not a breakfast person, but if I was I would probably be a buckwheat pancakes with local berries, homemade blueberry jam, fresh squeezed OJ, and a dark Italian espresso with a side of wildflowers kind of breakfast person 💕

Is there anything better than a big summer thunderstorm after a super hot and humid couple of days?! 🌩 ⠀
⠀
Thunderstorms have always been one of my favorite parts of summer and I love watching them role in over the mountains outside our windows ⛰ ⠀
⠀
Double tap if you love a summer thunderstorm as much as I do! ⛈
