Celebrate Earth Day: Compost & Support Health Companies that Care!

Everyday is (Mother) Earth Day, let’s be honest, but if you’re really trying to diminish harmful greenhouse gases, litter, and waste, it starts with individual effort (which eventually transcribes into the whole). We can’t expect other people to take action when we get lazy or selfish. We have to expect more from our independent selves.

Modern apes have accelerated Mother Earth's aging process due to 380 MILLION TONS of PLASTIC produced each year worldwide and our myopic view of life. All it takes is some individual raw integrity to prevent the environment from collapsing.

There are endless things you can do on a daily basis to better the planet and the people’s health on a micro level ~ which WILL make its way up to the macro. With that in mind, I will spare you and keep things simple and foundational.

Here are 2 powerful plans that you can follow to play your epic part in celebrating this 2021 Earth Day:

#1 COMPOST YO FOOD SCRAPS

Think about it: We eat food every dang day (unless you’re performing a 3 day fast like I do about 3x a year). We also waste tens of hundreds of pounds of food individually every year. It adds up big time, and throwing your “measly” food scraps or food-gone-bad down the drain or in your kitchen garbage bags everyday is creating that dent in Mother Nature’s VW hippie van. Don’t dent her van and play your part.

I began composting about a year and a half ago after diving deep into numbers. Check this shizzle out guys and gals!

Each day in the United States approximately one pound of food per person is wasted. This equates to 103 million tons (81.4 billion pounds) of food waste generated in America in 2017, or between 30-40 percent of the food supply, according to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Food spoilage, whether real or just made up in our small-headed minds, is one of the BIGGEST reasons people throw out food. More than 80% of Americans throw out ~in the garbage~ perfectly yummy, consumable food simply because they don’t understand expiration labels and real spoilage. Labels like “sell by”, “use by”, “expires on”, “best before” or “best by” are utterly confusing, I understand.

But compared to the rest of the world, food here in America is easy to access and less costly. This ruins the value of the wisdom food has for our health compared to most cultures and countries around the globe do.

We Americans are impulsive and tend to buy more than we actually need to thrive and survive (and don’t get me started with fast “food”). We don’t take advantage of leftovers as much as the next guy and toss food scraps that can still be consumed OR, even better than tossing in the trash for landfills, composted.

Composting isn’t as common as we need to make it out to be, which is why I wrote this blog. We continue to add fuel to the fire by tremendously increasing the size of nasty, Mother Nature-killing landfills.

Wasting food that is 100% compostable from plants, egg shells, and other biodegradable matter, has irreversible environmental consequences:

It wastes the water and energy it took to produce it
It generates greenhouse gases: 7% of the world’s emissions (methane, carbon dioxide and chlorofluorocarbons)
And food decaying in landfills not getting access to these digesting soil bugs also produces nitrogen pollution: causing algae blooms and dead zones

According to the World Wildlife Federation, the production of wasted food in the United States is equivalent to the greenhouse emissions of 37 million cars.

So with all this in mind, I invite you to purchase a cheap $20 or less compost bin you can look up on Amazon for your kitchen that will last for life and build a simple one outside like mine in the picture below. This will greatly decrease the destruction of the planet’s ecosystem. It's your God-given home, why would you destroy it?

#2 Support Health Companies that Care about the Planet and the People’s Health!

I have come across and tried and tested hundreds (yes, hundreds) of companies and brands of supplements that are wonderful for health and vitality, from greens to digestives, but until recently I have tapped into one company on a real deal mission.

If you are looking to not only upgrade YOUR awesome, epic, one-of-a-kind life source energy AND the planet’s, then look no further than one company that I will stand the test of time supporting and sharing: PURIUM.

No this isn’t just a marketing employ, this is something coming from the heart I want you to be a part of. I don’t want you to miss out on this incredible life-changing opportunity.

I partnered with Purium because, as you may know, I really REALLY care about your health and Mother Earth’s.

What Purium Has Accomplished Because of YOU!

In 2020 we saved about 44280 pounds of plastic from going into landfills! How did we manage to do that? With your help, we have taken company-wide initiatives that have lowered our carbon footprint:

The solid, elongated spoons easily reach into jars and our eco-friendly packaging. Engraved with the Purium leaf, they glisten with the perfect amount of kitchen flare.
Transitioned our top-selling products powders from plastic tubs to compostable Terra Pouches. Our Daily Fiber Original has joined the plastic-free product family and is only available in Terra Pouch.
Transitioned our top-selling capsule products from plastic bottles to compostable craft pouches.
Added Stainless Steel Shake Bottles to our collection. These help you commit to sustainability, lower your carbon footprint, and let you shake up your favorite Purium superfoods on the go, without the plastic!

YES! I get hype about this because the products are not only effective in healing your gut microbiome, but also the soil’s microbiome on this great planet we live upon.

What’s Next??

As we continue to support the health of both the planet and the people who live on it, we want to set a new goal. Can you help us smash it? We’re hoping to save over 90,000 pounds of plastic waste. How do we hope to get there? Here is what you can expect:

Eventually transition out of plastic bottles and tubs for all of our products (not just popular ones)
Continue to pioneer the movement by exploring more sustainable label and product packaging practices
