Lets talk about world wellness today. We've already talked about body wellness and how eating healthy and regular exercise was great for your body. Imagine if we put that same perspective in our little green planet called Earth.
We live on this beautiful planet and use it's resources to provide heat, homes, papers to share ideas and computers to connect globally. Just about anything you can imagine has come from some mineral or substance from Earth. But resources are not infinite and not all resources are able to be replenished.
We have to take care of our planet as we take care of our body and the returns will be not only for us but for future generations.
After calculating my personal emissions calculator I find that we are using an average amount of electricity/natural gas/oil. By driving around in a huge van that only averages 20 mpg I think that buying a new car that is smaller and receives at least 30 mpg would save so much on emissions.
Eating green is also a way to save on the global carbon footprint. By eating green and also buying locally you can not only receive fresher produce but also there is not need to drive far to deliver these fruits and vegetables.
Not only does it save gas and reduce the carbon foot print buying locally and organic means less insecticides polluting our planet.
If you've never been to the Farmer's Market here in Houston I suggest you go. They have some of the freshest produce you can buy in Houston. Depending on the season they offer different fruits and vegetables. I especially love going when nectars, tangerines and apples are in season as those are some of the best fruits you can buy fresh. Especially the smells and aroma coming off what has been harvested has never been funner.
