Pretty much the same as you. I also donate books to charity shops, and give money when and where I can.
I also feed the local wildlife. The foxes, crows and pigeons all know me now! 😃✨🖤

I love this! Especially making offerings to the little land spirits. 💓 I'm sure they do know you and call you friend in their language.

I’m sure too! I’ve names lots of the pigeons, and some of them will land on my shoulders and hand and coo happily. It is rather lovely x

I've been focusing on genius loci work for the past few years. One of the things we've done is to uproot as many invasive species as we can, replacing them with natives.

I love this. I am renting, but one day hope to have a house where I can plant and do this.

I am thankful to the Earth that sustains us. I protect the Earth by minimizing my footprint and being politically active supporting those who act to protect the Earth and protesting those that don't. I also plant trees (not daily, of course).

For me, I pray often for the Earth and all her beings. I pray that the corporations are held accountable for the destruction of the land. And I do my best to be a conscious consumer. But I'm going to be honest. I don't know if I do enough or how to do you more.

Whatever we individually do is never enough

Recycle, of course. I don't drive a car, we keep it to a minimum when my room mate does. I do "stealth planting" of trees in burnt woods in the summer. Trying to go full vegan, and sitting in a nature preserve makes me a happy pile of relaxed goo.

fourwind.bsky.social•30 days ago

Thank you for sharing. These are all wonderful.

buffytvssummers.bsky.social•30 days ago

I wish it was enough. And thanks for posing that question.

fourwind.bsky.social•30 days ago

Absolutely. What we really need to do is hold the politicians and corporations responsible. But I don't know how to do that myself. 🥹

buffytvssummers.bsky.social•30 days ago

It won't be easy; there are people in my neck of the woods, ( Resistance) who are trying to get petitions going. There are so many people who love the Mother. Write your Rep; and that feels pretty good.

A few things- I am studying to become an herbalist. Knowing the gifts the Earth makes it only natural to respect them. Being vegan is a huge part of that too for me. I also aim to shop locally for most anything I can and live a low waste lifestyle. I reuse and repair anything I can.

fourwind.bsky.social•30 days ago

All these are very great. I was very sick when I was younger and it led me to study herbalism, and it's done nothing but give positively to myself, my family, and my community. 💓 Good luck with your studies. Who are you learning with?

thestrangewitch.bsky.social•30 days ago

I just completed a year apprenticeship with Robin Rose Bennett! This year I’m actually going to focus on prepping for a slightly unrelated Ph D program so herbalism is taking a temporary backseat. But I loved it- did you learn from anyone?

fourwind.bsky.social•30 days ago

I've loved all of the resources from Aviva Romm. 💓
