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 ❤️

Dear community, I will not be posting sustainable

Dear community,

I will not be posting sustainable living / soulful wellness content this week. Rather, I will be listening, learning and sharing content from the black community to honor and amplify their voices. PLEASE NOTE: my muting does not mean I will be silent. It means I am putting the typical content I share on hold to amplify black voices who speak from lived experiences. Thank you @jessicawilson.msrd & @blackandembodied for initiating this #AmplifyMelanatedVoicesChallenge.

The highlighted voices of activists, educators, business owners, artists and more will be shared via my stories and saved in my BLM highlight. Tune in.
*Feel free to tag some of your favorite accounts below!

Let’s Listen. Reflect. Learn. Grow. And do the work.

With love,
Marina

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.

Harnessing the Full Moon in Scorpio ♏️ energy

Harnessing the Full Moon in Scorpio ♏️ energy with my reusables

According to The Old Farmer's Almanac, the Algonquins called this full moon the "Full Flower Moon" because it comes at beginning of spring 🌸, just when flowers start to blossom.

I like to think of full moons as moments of manifestation and culmination. This moon in particular is a supermoon 🌕, the last supermoon of 2020 actually. And, being a Scorpio myself with more than half of my houses in Scorpio, I have especially been feeling this one to my core.

As we go through this collective trauma, I invite you all to take this full moon as an opportunity to reflect and meditate on some personal demons you wish to shed. Set some intentions, and think about how you can grow and heal. While that may sound intimidating, it can mean anything from planning to reach out to someone you'd like to make amends with to setting aside more time each day to snuggle up with your pet, if that helps your mental health. Honor yourself and think about what would make you feel vibrant and alive.

Open the door for your inner-healing, you deserve it. Much love.

Amongst the chaos of an imperfect world comes peace in the forest.

Happy Tuesday everyone. I am curious, which nature setting do you feel most alive? Is it the beach? The mountains? The heart of a thick mossy green forest? Or maybe a combination of them all? 🙂

You’re the cherry 🍒 (tomato) on top of my gluten-free vegan refined-sugar free local organic ice cream sunday 🍦Use this compliment on your babe, trust me they’ll be all 😳🤔😅🥰. Happy Friday friends. Proud to say this cherry tomato I’m holding I grew in our home garden. The taste of cherry tomatoes off the vine is out of this world. If you’re growing anything in your garden right now, do let me know below! And if you’re not, what would be the first crop you’d experiment with?

Studies have shown that CO2 emissions have dropped

Studies have shown that CO2 emissions have dropped around the globe due to the coronavirus lockdowns, leading to clearer skies 🌌 While the circumstances in which we reached this environmental “win” are not great considering how this pandemic has deeply devastated humanity, I do believe we can look at this piece of news in a positive light: a glimpse of what our world can achieve when drastic action is taken.

Moving forward post-pandemic, it is imperative that long-term systemic shifts are implemented to change trajectory of CO2 levels in the atmosphere and thus ensure the health and wellbeing of our planet.

This means business getting on board, big and small. This means governments/global organizations taking action, backing policies that address inequality and the future of our planet. This means we as a collective taking a look at our consumption habits and asking ourselves the critical question: does this habit support a more clean, green world?

All of that said it is important to note that there is no perfection, only steps taking toward progress and the greater good— whether in lifestyles, business plans or in government.

Thanks for reading my little journal entry rant, and on a last note look up at the sky this evening to view our current lunar phase, the waxing crescent 🌙 (as represented in this photo with my poor photo editing skills 😸).
