Welcome to Loving Earth
Loving Earth is an expression of selflessness and gratitude. It is a field/opportunity for us to practice virtues through aligning our thoughts, words, actions, and desires toward caring and protecting our precious Mother Earth.
Each month, we increase our awareness on a specific environmental topic and change an aspect of our daily living to align with loving our Earth back. We share ideas, reflections, and challenges on implementing changes at the individual and community level.
