Earth Day tips that are good for the earth and good for your mood!

April 30, 2012 By Trudy Scott 11 Comments

Take care of the earth and take care of yourself, your health and your mood! Earth Day is a day early each year on which events are held worldwide to increase awareness and appreciation of the Earth’s natural environment

There was great event in Sacramento and I shared a booth with Donna Kelley. I had samples (and recipe) of roasted pumpkin seeds and herbal teabags. Of course, I also had copies of my book The Antianxiety Food Solution: How the Foods You Eat Can Help You Calm Your Anxious Mind, Improve Your Mood and End Cravings. So much of what we do for anxiety and overall mood is just naturally also good for the earth – like eating quality food, avoiding pesticides, exercising and more! It was fun sharing a booth with Donna, a fellow nutritionist at Concepts of Optimal Nutrition. Donna had a drawing for potted herbs, a yummy recipe and information about her nutrition programs.

Here are some of the tips we shared:

  • Exercise outdoors! Good for the earth and good for your mood! : Ride a bike; Go for a hike in nature; Go for a walk or run; Grow a vegetable garden; Mow your lawn with a hand or push mower like a Brill (this is what I use and there is no noise pollution, no fumes and it is a great work-out)
  • Eat organic and GMO-free! Good for the earth and good for your mood! : Buy organic and GMO-free; Grow your own veggies, fruit and herbs – you can do this even if you don’t have a garden – check out this amazing rooftop garden concept; Make your own sprouts (alfalfa, lentil, mung bean); Eat real whole food; Demand labeling of GMO ingredients; Eat wild fish, grassfed meat, pastured chickens

We even made it onto KCRA/Channel 3 news at 5pm! Don’t blink or you may miss it – ha ha! It is right at the start as the announcer starts talking, at the 6-10 second mark, so a total of 5 seconds! It shows The Antianxiety Food Solution “You Are What You Eat Poster”. I’m “Zen Apple Girl” and Bruce is “Stressed Sugar Girl”! Here is the Earth Day video.

I think these little girls did a better job with being “Zen Apple Girl” and “Stressed Sugar Girl”. And the great thing is that the kids really got the food-mood connection with feeling awesome with eating good food versus feeling bad, anxious and cranky when they eat sugar and junk!

I’d like to end with this beautiful “Earth Day Anthem”

Joyful joyful we adore our Earth in all its wonderment
Simple gifts of nature that all join into a paradise
Now we must resolve to protect her
Show her our love through out all time
With our gentle hand and touch
We make our home a newborn world
Now we must resolve to protect her
Show her our love through out all time

It was super to see so many people out celebrating Earth Day. Great see some friend and clients and meet new people. It was also great to see all the other great vendors sharing about electric cars, organic produce and farmers markets and more. I hope you get to enjoy it every year and every single day of the year too.

    Thanks for another informative newsletter, Trudy. Good advice about mowing the lawn too. It can be a chore, but it’s also great outdoors time. While also being safe, you can get kind of Zen about it. I try to mow and keep my mind relaxed and enjoy the smell of fresh-cut grass. In my area, as I’m mowing, beautiful blue swallows will pitch and swoop to snap up bugs rising out of the grass. Nothing allows you to celebrate nature like the wonder of watching birds in flight.

    Great blog Trudy about Earth Day Sacramento. I especially like your “Earth Day Anthem.” Thanks so much for inviting me to share a booth with you…I’m honored. It was a fun day meeting and talking with so many people about the same true hopes of trying to rescue our planet earth! It’s blogs like yours that can hopefully influence the world in uniting to preserve our home, our world, our planet=mother Earth. Let’s learn to live as if every day is Earth Day…

    Trudy,

    Congrats on making it on the news! I am about to plant my balcony spring/summer/fall herb garden. Also about to try my hand at sprouting. Loving my organic vegetable and fruit deliveries.

    And, I do my walking outdoors as often as possible.
