🌎 BE THE CHANGE: David Brower was a giant in the environmental movement — the first executive director of the Sierra Club and founder of multiple organizations including Earth Island Institute. He helped protect countless acres of wild land and inspired a generation to stand up for nature. Brower believed environmentalism was a moral duty, not just a cause. His legacy lives on in every river, forest, and coastline we fight to protect. As he famously said: “We don’t inherit the Earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children.”

🍄‍🟫 RECIPE OF THE WEEK: Craving comfort food without the guilt? This Creamy Vegan Mushroom Stroganoff will satisfy your taste buds while keeping things healthy. It is made with hearty cremini mushrooms, garlic, and onions, and paired with a rich cashew cream sauce, this dish delivers all the flavor of the traditional version with none of the dairy. Serve it over whole wheat pasta or zucchini noodles for a lighter option. Add a sprinkle of nutritional yeast for an extra umami flavor!

🥜 SUPERFOOD SPOTLIGHT: This is "sacha inchi," also known as the Inca peanut! Native to the Amazon rainforest, this plant produces star-shaped pods filled with seeds rich in omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and fiber. Sacha inchi is quickly gaining popularity for its nutty flavor and impressive health benefits, including heart health support and improved brain function. Bonus: it’s a sustainable crop, often grown by local farmers using eco-friendly methods. Try it roasted as a snack or blended into your morning smoothie.

📱 MIND: Ever heard of "doomscrolling"? This habit of endlessly consuming negative news online is taking a toll on mental health, especially in the modern era. Studies show that excessive exposure to distressing content can increase anxiety and depression, making it harder to disconnect and recharge. The good news? Simple practices to avoid it are HERE.

🪴 BODY: Did you know that indoor plants do more than just brighten your home? Many houseplants, like snake plants and spider plants, act as natural air purifiers, filtering out toxins like formaldehyde and benzene from your living space. Beyond cleaner air, tending to plants has been linked to reduced stress levels and improved focus. Plus, watching your green friends thrive can be incredibly rewarding! Learn which plants are best for your health.

꩜ SPIRIT: Have you ever experienced a coincidence so uncanny it felt like the universe was speaking to you? This phenomenon, known as "synchronicity," was first introduced by psychologist Carl Jung. Synchronicities are meaningful coincidences that seem to defy logic, often appearing when we’re facing important life decisions or seeking direction. Some believe these moments are signs from a higher power or the universe itself.
