I am transfixed by the intricate beauty of leaves.

I am transfixed by the intricate beauty of leaves.

The delicate patterns of their veins
The way they smile and come to life when held up to the sunlight
How playful they look when dancing in the wind

It’s no wonder Autumn 🍂 is my favorite time of year. Do you have a favorite season? Do share below 🙂 & happy Friday to you.

Ps- get excited for some autumn-inspired sustainable fashion, wellness and recipe posts coming to the EG YouTube channel and blog these coming months.

🌍CO-CREATING A NEW WORLD🌍 ...A world where

🌍CO-CREATING A NEW WORLD🌍

...A world where sustainable and ethical businesses are the normal and people live in harmony and symbiosis with the planet.

In 2010, my friends over at @prAna implemented a grassroots approach to reducing plastic in their packaging. They call this approach the Responsible Packaging Movement (RPM), an instrumental technique to actively eliminate single-use plastic and virgin forest fiber from their packaging. Since 2010, they’ve completely reimagined product packaging while organizing an industry-wide shift towards responsibly made options. Their goal is to completely eliminate plastic from their consumer packaging by 2021, as well as eliminate use of materials from ancient and endangered forests by 2022, and virgin forest fibers by 2025. BEYOND epic, right?

#sponsored Today I share with you this exciting news with an invitation. As prAna has joined forces with nonprofit organizations like 5 Gyres and Canopy to amplify and accelerate their efforts within RPM to #ReshapePackaging, I am getting on here to invite you to join us in the fight for a more sustainable, just and thriving world.

Some ways I like to do my part:
-Going paperless, from mail, to bank statements, to receipts, etc.
-Reducing plastic and paper products as much as possible
-Using reusable cloths, handkerchiefs, utensils, etc. instead of virgin single-use options
-Buying produce and snacks from the farmer’s market, package-free

What are some of your favorite ways to do your part? Or better yet, what commitments do you have moving forward? Through uplifting and supporting each other on our low waste lifestyle journeys, both as individuals and as larger entities and industries, we can shift our unsustainable reliance on the earth’s finite resources and build a world where we can live in complete symbiosis with the planet.

VOTE EARTH! 🗳✨🌍 We are facing an environme

VOTE EARTH! 🗳✨🌍 We are facing an environmental crisis that requires an urgent and transformative response. The urgency has never been greater, and the stakes have never been higher. We face mass extinction of species, catastrophic pollution of oceans, destruction of communities and displacement of millions. We are in the midst of an environmental emergency, and the clock is ticking. To meet this moment, we must seize one of the most powerful tools we have as individuals: our right to vote. We need political action for our planet, to defend the environment and ensure a life for future generations.

Did you know 1 in 4 people aren’t registered to vote? In addition, 65 million Americans didn’t vote in 2018 due to registration problems, and 42% of unregistered voters ages 18-24 said they:

○ Didn’t know how
○ Kept forgetting
○ Didn’t have time
○ Had recently moved

If there’s one thing I hope you’ve gained from the videos, DIY recipes and other content I share on the Eco Goddess platform, it’s that if we don't demand change and actively fight for it, change will not occur. The same applies for our political activism. If we voters don’t demand environmental leadership, politicians won’t supply it. It’s time to put the health of our communities, our air, our water and our land on the ballot. Please join me and #VoteEarth by educating yourself about current issues and our present political landscape, pledging to vote, registering to vote, voting early and recruiting friends and family to the same. I have included many resources in my stories (all of which are saved in my highlight section: ‘VOTE’) where you can learn how to find a healthy, safe and secure way to cast your ballot this year, important upcoming dates, and more.

POV: I’m grocery shopping and overhear you talking to your friend about how passionate you are about people and the planet 🌎

Happy hump day everyone! I hope you’ve all been well ☺️ If you feel so brave... share a turn on below. Yep, you read that right! For me, hands-down it’s when I spot a soul who is driven, compassionate, kind and creative. Oh, and a nature enthusiast... yes mmm m m. Ok now your turn!

“Adopt the pace of nature. Her secret is patienc

“Adopt the pace of nature. Her secret is patience.”

Simply in love with this quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson. If there is anything this global pandemic has challenged me to do it is to be patient with myself and trust in the divine timing of things.

This has always been a struggle of mine. For much of my life my pattern has been to overextend myself, to force things that in my gut I knew weren’t aligned, and to people please rather than just saying “no thanks.” This resulted in me struggling to stay true to my word, disappointing others and feeling unhappy. If this old pattern of mine is something you can relate to/witness in yourself, my advice to you is this:

✨Practice relaxing by taking deep breaths and meditating
✨Trust yourself and begin setting boundaries (get familiar with the word “no”!)
✨Understand and counteract your triggers
✨Work on your self-confidence (probably the hardest one for me)
✨Release tension and stress through art, music, exercise and/or dance

Happy weekend all, and speak soon.

Hi everyone, it’s has been a while. I wanted to

Hi everyone, it’s has been a while. I wanted to end my muting on my feed by sharing with you my renewed commitment to fighting for a more just and thriving planet for all, as well as some things I am pledging to do— both personally and here on my online community platform.

I pledge to:
1. Dive deeper into intersectional environmentalism. Justice for our planet and justice for all people are two profound conversations that are inextricably linked; yet, their interconnectedness often goes unexamined. We cannot afford to separate these conversations. The assumptions that many people carry, that the Earth is separate from us and thus exploitable, are paralleled by assumptions that some people are different, less than and inherently disposable—and this is the crux of the issue that I am committed to challenging and changing with my platform.
2. Listen to and learn from Black, Indigenous and POC voices and history.
3. Uplift, amplify and collaborate with BIPOC creators.
4. Speak out against racism when I hear it and see it, no matter how difficult the conversation is.
5. Do extensive research into the brands I consider collaborating with, making sure they actively support the BLM movement and are working with LGBTQ+ creators, POC creators and disabled creators.
6. Become more educated in politics and get more involved locally. If we do not actively participate in society, how can we expect things to change? I have saved a video in my BLM highlight by @Sophia_roe where she so powerfully puts it: “You need to act within your own neighborhood. You have all the permission in the world to walk into city hall, your school board, I don’t care where it is, and raise some concerns. Let them know ‘I want a refund because the system that you gave me— the system that you gave black and brown people— it isn’t working. It is broken. It was broken upon delivery and I need a new one.’”
I would love to learn how you are, and how you feel inspired to step up and embody your allyship and active global citizenship. Alone we are powerful, but together, we are unstoppable. Please remember to take care of yourself so that you have the energy and vigor to carry forth your mission ❤️

With a heavy and aching heart, I stand in solidari

With a heavy and aching heart, I stand in solidarity with Black, Indigenous and People of Color Communities.

I am deeply committed to educating myself more on systemic racism and social inequality, and stepping up as a stronger ally for my BIPOC brothers and sisters.

To them, I write:
I hear you.
I see you.
I mourn with you.
I support you.
I love you.

I have created a BLM highlight on my page where you can find resources to expand your awareness and take immediate action. I invite you to leave resources you’ve found inspiring and helpful below.
With love,
Marina

This is my “oh c’mon are you reaaaally going t

This is my “oh c’mon are you reaaaally going to tell me you don’t have hope for our planet?” face when someone goes all doom and gloom on me, lists a bunch of depressing facts about our anthropocene mass extinction or something else wrong with our world, calls me a dreamer... a rabble rouser... an overzealous environmentalist.

If we don’t have hope, what do we have? If we don’t have something to fight for, to wholeheartedly believe in, to wake up for, what do we have?

Not much, I’d argue.

Before letting your mind run wild with the ideas of what is wrong with our world, take a step back and look at what is right with our world. Maybe it’s your compost pile in your backyard. Maybe it’s your neighbor and their little organic garden. Maybe it’s your local state representatives and the efforts they make to listen to you and your concerns for the health and safety of people and the planet. When we can focus on what is good, we feel good. We align with that frequency and we can then have the energy to multiply those efforts and continue the momentum, the ripple effect.

That’s not to say we don’t acknowledge where we need improvement, but more often than not staying stuck in the “everything is falling apart” mentality will keep us crippled, and steal the joy we have for living.
