Life is the most beautiful gift that we could ever receive. It’s filled with love and compassion, and so many beautiful things that, sometimes, I feel that I haven’t got enough time to explore all of it. Do you sometimes feel a very small part of this world? Do you feel that your actions can’t possibly have any effect on protecting it? Wouldn’t it be fantastic if we could focus on the things we can change instead of feeling anxious about things out of our control? There is so much we personally can do to promote positive change in this world, not least amongst them making a conscious decision to live an eco friendly lifestyle.
Let’s think about what we, as citizens of the world, and as consumers, can do.
Eco Friendly Living
First amongst these actions is a desire to learn more about the products we use and the products we purchase in our daily lives. I like to find out about the products I buy and how they are made, what they are made from and last but not least, their impact on the environment. What makes them special? What makes them unique? What connects myself and the products to this beautiful world we live in? Nature is the answer. I want to know that my behaviours have a positive impact on our world.
In life you have to make careful choices. Your choices can make or break the future. Therefore, in adopting eco friendly choices, you are standing up to change your life. You are making a move towards positive and impactful living. You are being careful about how you lead your life. Imagine if everyone starts living like this? This is where the most amount of change will be seen. It is both the individual and the collective that will achieve this change. So change for the positive. Change because that is what is needed. It is a beautiful world we live in and needs us to protect it and look after it.
Inspirations
These quotes demonstrate how I feel about our beautiful world:
“Birds have always had the ability to bring me out of a dark space and provide relief in bad times.” –Jason Ward
“Adopt the pace of nature. Her secret is patience.”-Ralph Waldo Emerson
“I believe the best way to begin reconnecting humanity’s heart, mind, and soul to nature is for us to share our individual stories.”-J. Drew Lanham
“The Earth is what we all have in common.”-Wendell Berry
“Time spent among trees is never time wasted.”-Anonymous
And the last but not least: “NEVER DOUBT THAT A SMALL GROUP OF THOUGHTFUL, COMMITTED CITIZENS CAN CHANGE THE WORLD; INDEED, IT IS THE ONLY THING THAT EVER HAS.”- MARGARET MEAD
The reason I chose these particular quotes is because they all have a common message, the love for nature, and its impact on our mental health. I take it as a daily reminder. One of the quotes referred to trees. A study says that hugging a tree gives you lots of positive energy and takes away the negative ones. Another one about birds, basically, their sound is a therapy that relaxes your mind.
Why I love Go Eco Love!
Go Eco Love uses only natural materials in their products and, in keeping with my decision to make conscious purchases, I decided to find out a bit more about one of the frequently used materials on their online shop, and that is JUTE.
Go Eco Love also sells natural skin care products all made from the plants and flowers around you. Imagine these type of skin care products caressing your skin. It is like basic living. It is harmless living as well. All Go Eco Love’s cosmetics are toxic free, cruelty free and vegan. This is exactly the lifestyle we ought to be leading or striving towards leading.
