#WorldMeditationDay What's the most interesting place or way you've ever meditated? (Fancy this, at our partner lodge in Nepal? Click link in bio or find at www.earth-changers.com > places > nepal)

Tomorrow is the #EndangeredpSpeciesDay as well as the #UKOvershootDay. The latter is when UK demand for ecological resources exceeds what Earth can regenerate in the year. The tight relationship between these two shows us how our future and dreams are related to these matters. The greater our consumption and earlier our Overshoot, the more we deplete resources, destroy habitats, contribute to global warming, and add pollution. So how can you travel and have a positive impact in this context? Our Kenya partner allows you to do so while protecting the community, culture, and environment in which you’re immersed. Managed by the local Maasai community, living there for centuries, they are knowledgeable about their environment to act positively while now offering the romance of great safaris, stunning views, incredible wildlife, the luxury of top hotels, and fine dining of 5-star restaurants. In the volcanic deep cloud forests of Kenya’s Maasai Chyulu Hills, let you be guided by a Maasai warrior on your safari journey, a dream adventure, seeing wildlife and birdlife, all in front of Kilimanjaro.

Today take a break and hug a tree for #NationalLoveaTreeDay. Trees play an irreplaceable role in balancing the ecosystem. From fresh air to their sweetest fruits and everything in between, their contribution to life is beyond imagination. And it’s only fair that we love them! Our partner lodge in CostaRica takes action to preserve their natural rainforest and ocean environment illustrated by their statement “A tree left standing is worth more than one cut down”. One of their main measures is to plant native trees in the area and show love and respect for their surroundings. Their actions have made a substantial contribution to local livelihoods and environmental conservation, including the highest rates of reforestation of all areas studied in the Osa Peninsula. As a guest you could plant a tree too and participate to this positive global effort. Want to know more about their actions or to take part in them while traveling to a truly sustainable place?

#MondayMotivation: "Every creature is better alive than dead, men and moose and pine trees, and he who understands it aright will rather preserve its life than destroy it."~ Henry David Thoreau, naturalist, essayist, poet, philosopher & transcendentalist, who reflected on simple living in natural surroundings.

Have you ever thought about flying like a bird? This year's #WorldMigratoryBirdDay on Saturday is highlighting the importance of water ecosystems for bird life, survival, and breeding. Healthy wetlands are critical for birds as well as for us and we are now facing the same big challenges of conserving and protecting those areas for a brighter shared future. Our Costa Rica partner assimilated this knowledge years ago and is now working towards this goal by ensuring and taking care of its surrounding environment, ensuring the positive impact they can have, and being accepted by the nature around as a guest. The lodge offers one of Central America’s best locations for bird watching over the rainforest and ocean while supporting conservation, education, and local community extensively, being one of the ecolodges to gain a coveted 5 Leaf rating for sustainable tourism. How many obstacles did these birds face and conquer before they reached their seasonal home? Why not discuss the answer at the lodge?
