The Gentle Earth Journal was created out of a deep love for animals and a desire to see the world move toward compassion, kindness, and harmony for wildlife, sea life, farm life, and companion animals.
It’s easy to feel powerless in such a big world, but each of us impact this planet every day through our actions and we have the power to choose which type of impact we have. Over the years, I have found a lot of power in signing petitions to advocate for change on a local and global scale. I have also found power in financially supporting the organizations that are bringing about real change through their advocacy and conservation efforts. Additionally, I have found a great deal of power in the conscious choices that I make every day with regard to the businesses I choose to support. We live in a world full of options, and luckily, there are more humane, environmentally friendly alternatives to so many of our favorite foods, cosmetics, and every day household items. I find a tremendous amount of power in refusing to financially support companies who are a part of the problem and instead support the companies who are actively trying to be a part of the solution.
One small conscious act of compassion each day can have a monumental impact on the way we treat the animals we share this planet with. I believe everyone has the ability to make the world a kinder and more gentle place for all sentient beings.
