EARTH DAY
The theme for 2021 is Globally Restore & Heal the Planet
“Let Food be thy Medicine & Medicine be thy food “ -Hippocrates
At Moms Across America, we continue to empower and educate mothers and others with actions and solutions to create healthy communities. Celebrating Earth Day on April 22, 2021, is another way to remind ourselves and our supporters about the importance of our choices every day that affect our health, the health of the ecosystem, and the health of our global community. We hope you will celebrate today by taking on our GROW Challenge and adopting plant today!
Mom contributor Liz Lee provided these Earth Day action ideas for us this year. We hope you will be inspired to take action and create healthy communities with us.
With each step forward…be conscious of what brings health to yourself and the environment.
Support Local Organic Farmers and Make Our Air, Water, and Soils Environmentally Safe
Creating biodiversity within your community is one of the best holistic approaches to boosting the soils, increasing local food security, and supporting your local organic farmer. High-quality, nutrient-rich produce nourishes a healthy community and a thriving economy. For all of humanity, a top priority needs to be building a more robust immune system with nutritional food sources that regenerate our soils, clean the air, and purify the water.

Support School Kitchens & Victory Gardens
School gardens can be utilized and transformed into Victory Gardens to provide nutrient-rich vegetation and sustainable food practice within our communities. The school kitchens can offer cooking classes and prepare meals for families in need. There are very successful programs that have already been set up in schools, where they serve mostly organic food from their school gardens or local farmers. If they can do it, so can you...it just takes one person to say, I am going to take this on!
Check out www.TurningGreen.org and www.VictoryGardens.com to get involved today!
Educate on Nutrition, Cooking & Biodiversity
Broaden education on nutrition by developing a community of caring at our schools. Humanity’s involvement in the evolution of change was significant during the lockdowns with the pandemic restrictions. Our bodies have an innate ability to heal and restore. We can continue to heal and repair during stressful times by being mindful to make healthy choices and learn new ways of healing. Learning how to make new healthy, fermented dishes with family or classmates brings joy to the heart and beneficial bacteria to the gut for a healthy immune system!
One of our favorite sites is www.CulturedFoodLife.com, where you can learn how to make fermented, pre and probiotic-rich foods that support the immune system and detox the body from pesticides!
Create Healthy Communities with Us
Create healthy communities with us and heal our treasure, Mother Earth. Celebrate Earth Day every day and be mindful of what we buy, what it is made of, and how much waste we create. Support programs for recycling and cleaning up our environments. Volunteer with school systems, so the young generation learns the importance of recycling and limited resources while protecting the ecosystem by developing sustainability within our community.

Peace on Earth,
