7 Ways to Love Mom and Earth

7 Ways to Love Mom and Earth

Mother’s Day is only one week away! Don’t worry, you still have time to make sure any mother in your life feels special and loved. We always feel best when we give in a way that also shows love to Mother Earth. As you’re considering how to shower the mother figure in your life we hope you’ll consider one of these 7 phenomenal and sustainable options this Mother’s Day.

Plant a tree or a garden

A great way to honor your mother and Mother Earth is to plant a tree or a garden. This can provide a beautiful, sustainable source of food and beauty for years to come.

Cook a sustainable meal

Prepare a special meal for your mother using locally-sourced, organic ingredients. Consider vegetarian or vegan options to reduce your carbon footprint and support sustainable agriculture. Or look for regeneratively farmed meat if you are in need of some animal protein.

Make a handmade gift

Instead of buying something new, consider making a gift for your mother. You can use recycled materials or repurpose old items to create something unique and sustainable.

Give an experience

Rather than buying a physical gift, give your mother an experience she will enjoy, such as a hiking or camping trip, a spa day, or a cooking class.

Donate to a sustainable charity

Make a donation to a charity that promotes sustainability, such as an environmental group or a conservation organization, in your mother's name.

Use reusable gift wrap

Instead of buying new wrapping paper, try using fabric or reusable gift bags that can be used again and again.

Support a local, sustainable business

When purchasing a gift, look for local, sustainable businesses to support. This can help reduce your carbon footprint and support small businesses in your community.

Remember, the most important thing is to make sure the mother’s in your life feel the love.
By incorporating sustainable practices into your celebration,
you can also honor and respect the (mother) planet that sustains us all.
