On my travels yesterday I saw a huge bag of garbage tossed very close to a garbage deposit ( but just not quite all the way into the garbage bin ). So, it was truly trash. But the thing that made me take a second look was the contents of the garbage. It was all higher priced, whole earth, all grain, natural, “good for you” food that is mostly purchased at specialty health food stores or Trader Joes. So, here is someone that clearly cares about themselves and their body but does not seem to give a rip about the planet. Not only did they not recycle their paper products but they also did not even take the 5 steps further to properly dispose of their unrecycled trash.
This totally seems to miss the bigger picture – we can take care of ourselves and our environment even better by
- recycling
- at least properly disposing of trash
- eating whole foods that come in less wrapping
- eating dense nutrients – since we definitely do not work out as much as we used to and there is also less wrapping to dispose of in dense nutrients
- Taking our vitamins and saying our prayers
Don’t do this for show. Actually, no one is watching. Do this because it makes you feel better, keeps you healthier and helps your community.
