“The old Lakota was wise. He knew that [a human’s] heart, away from nature, becomes hard; he knew that lack of respect for growing, living things soon led to lack of respect for humans too.” Luther Standing Bear

Luther Standing Bear was a Sicangu/Oglala Lakota educator, author, philosopher, activist, and actor who advocated for cultural preservation and Native American rights 🦋

A Lakota tribal leader, he was born and raised within the oral traditions of his culture and educated in the Euro-American school system 🌲 He published works about his people, their history, and culture.

Some truths don’t age; they echo louder the further we drift from them 🍃 And, in these modern times, we’re growing further away from nature ⛰️👣🍄

Reconnecting with nature isn’t just healing for the earth; it’s healing for human beings as well 🌎

"Conservation is a state of harmony between people and land." -Aldo Leopold

Widely regarded as the father of wildlife ecology and modern conservation, Aldo Leopold was an American scientist, author, philosopher, and forester ⛰️

Leopold advocated for an ethical and conscious relationship between people and nature 🐙

His philosophy, which centered around the importance of humans’ need to take responsibility for the natural world, is extremely important today 🌎

Much of the modern world is increasingly disconnected from wildlife and the great outdoors 🌵

In what ways do you care for, connect to, and conserve the natural world?!

This Earth Day, let's celebrate by leaning into sustainability in our adventures, everyday life, and support in building greener communities 🌿🌍

With great travel comes great responsibility to protect the places we love to wander. That's why this Earth Day, we’re sharing some super-approachable ways YOU can be a sustainable traveler and how we can all reduce our carbon footprint (and be everyday eco-warriors!):

🚰 Invest in a reusable water bottle, coffee mugs, and shopping bags. Keep them in handy locations, so they’re put to use (i.e., reusable shopping bags in the car, so you just have to scoop them up before walking into the market).
💡 Turn off lights and electronics when not in use. Invest in energy-efficient appliances and LED bulbs. Money saver: Unplug unused appliances that accumulate usage over time.
🌱 Look for farmers' markets, local artisans, and companies committed to eco-friendly practices.
🚗 Encourage carpooling or using public transport where possible.
🧳 Pack light! Plan your outfits and bring only what you need. Less weight means less fuel used for transportation and a lighter load to carry along the journey.
🏨 Also, opt for eco-friendly accommodations that support sustainable practices. A small investment while planning ahead can pay forward a healthier local environment and natural resources.

By making these small changes, we can collectively create a significant impact. A world with a reduced carbon footprint means a healthier planet for ourselves and future generations.

Let's celebrate Earth Day by taking action and building a more sustainable future together 🌿🌎
