Earth Day
It is so easy to feel overwhelmed by all the doom and gloom around the state of our planet, but if you look for them you will find that there are good things happening and an increasing number of people who realise that just making small changes in your own life can make a huge difference.
A significant motivation behind The Conscious Way was to make organic products available for animals that work brilliantly but have minimal impact upon the planet, however even if you don’t have a pet please consider changing just one thing you buy to an organic alternative.
Everytime you choose organic you are actively and positively helping planet Earth by:
- Boosting biodiversity
Organic production creates vital habitats for bees, butterflies, birds, and other wildlife, supporting a thriving, balanced ecosystem.
- Protecting pollinators
Plants grown organically provide essential food and shelter for pollinating insects — the vital actors behind our food systems and wild spaces.
- Storing carbon / soil health
Organic systems of production help capture carbon, enhance soil structure, and retain water — making this approach a natural climate ally. Permanent grassland can capture and store tonnes of carbon in a year.
- Providing natural pest control
Some species that occur naturally in organic meadows and are farmed as ingredients for organic products attract helpful insects and discourage pests, supporting the organic system that doesn’t use chemicals.
- Boosting resilience to climate change
Organically farmed land is uniquely adapted to local conditions — the healthier the soil the more resilient it is to the extremes of drought, flood, and frost.
