News for the soul

April is Earth month and today, April 22nd is Earth Day.

Did you know that Earth Day is celebrating its 51st year of existence? It all started in 1970 allowing the birth of an environmental movement along with a voice for environmental consciousness in the United States and then worldwide. This then saw the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency and the start of the passing of many laws to protect the environment. In 1990 Earth day became global and now 193 countries are involved. 

I love any excuse to celebrate the earth, so to celebrate Earth Day, Soularoma is donating to One Tree Planted. For every online order received from 22nd April to 30th April, Soularoma will buy trees to be planted in Australia from One Tree Planted (https://onetreeplanted.org/products/australia?variant=18462048452670)

I think we are all agreed in that 2020 was a year that we don't want repeated. We all had to learn and relearn many skills. We had to learn to be okay with uncertainty, had to let go of our plans and in many cases we had to forgo seeing our loved ones. Many people lost their jobs, or were locked out of doing them for many months. We were locked out of other countries and states and many of us into our our five kilometre radius. Many people were locked into unsafe spaces with unsafe people. 2020 was...

Even though 71% of the earth is covered by water, in many parts of our world, water is an issue. Did you know that 97.2% of earth’s water is in seas and oceans, meaning that it is too salty to be usable and that a further 2.15% is in ice caps? That means less than 1% of the world’s water is usable by humans and many other living creatures (National Geographic). As well as being so meagre, the fresh water that does exist is not distributed evenly. For some people, there are plenty of water sources but no infrastructure to...
