Everyone wants to save the Rainforest, but most people don’t know how or think their individual actions will not make a difference. NOT TRUE! You can make small and simple green choices everyday that will help plants, animals and people in far away rainforests.

THE FOREST
One and a half acres of land are lost every second every day – and no stop in sight.

Rainforests are logged worldwide for their valuable timber. Logging is driven by complex factors.  Two examples are subsidies by governments in tropical countries for slum dwellers and farmers to clear and settle forest land, and consumer demand in industrialized countries for tropical products like hardwoods, railroad ties, beef and palm oil.
Thin tropical topsoils exposed to heavy rains erode rapidlly, carrying away what nutrients they contained and exposing even more infertile sub-soils.  Expensive fertilizer application is required increasingly over time but much is lost to the same heavy rains that take away topsoil. Even later abandoned, these lands have been so degraded that forest cannot recover by the natural processes of regeneration.
One of many foundations which helps to restore soil and trees, is Rainprogram, you can read more here www.rainprogram.org and also look at www.rainforest-alliance.org

THE ANIMALS

More than half of Earth’s rain forests have already been lost forever to the insatiable human demand for wood and arable land. Rain forests that once grew over 14 percent of the land on Earth now cover only about 6 percent. Many animals are deprived of their homes, they are starved to death, killed or getting extinct.
The numbers are dire: 150-200 species become extinct every 24 hours, and approximately 15 percent of mammal species and 11 percent of bird species are threatened with extinction.

The Alliance for Zero Extinction hosts about 88 sites and foundations which actively protect animal life in the rainforests. If you want to get involved, you find here an array of choices: www.zeroextinction.org We also liked www.rainforest-rescue.org

THE PEOPLE

Indigenous peoples are often not recognized as the owners of their land, even if they have lived there for hundreds or thousands of years. Without official titles, many indigenous communities have had little recourse but to watch as government or corporate interventions have exploited and destroyed huge tracts of their forests without their consent.With secure rights to their lands and natural resources, indigenous peoples can better defend their communities against unwanted development pressures. Indigenous peoples are effective guardians of the forests they live in. Today, most of the world’s large tracts of conserved tropical forests are in the hands of indigenous peoples.

The Rainforest foundation gives wonderful opportunities to help, they offer fun activities for adults and children. Check them out here: www.rainforestfoundation.org Please also read here www.treehugger.com

WHAT WE CAN DO

• Just say NO to palm oil. Palm oil, found in half of all processed foods in the US, is a key contributor to rainforest deforestation.
• Avoid furniture and other products made from threatened rainforest woods like: Mahogany,Rosewood and Ebony. Logging and the new roads it necessitates is a major driver of long term rainforest destruction.
• Learn and Teach others about the importance of the environment and how we can help save rainforests. Teach kids about the health of our planet. Empower them to make responsible choices. Help them make the connection between choosing foods without palm oil or conserving fossil fuels and protecting the rainforests.
• 60-70% of deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon results from cattle ranching. Meat production is non-sustainable. Period. It affects all countries, the waste of water and crop has huge impact on the ecological balance. Eat (more) vegan foods.
• Oil extraction in the Amazon has increased dramatically with sometimes devastating social and environmental consequences. Approximately 70% of the entire Peruvian Amazon in now leased by oil companies.
• Support:  Pick a region or project of particular interest to you and be assured your gift is directly contributing to the Rainforest program(s) of your choice.
• Buy organic, fair-trade, rainforest alliance approved food products.

Dry Moss should always be stored in a dark cool place, it does not need to be sealed in the pouch bag. The salt is a natural preservative and the moss will not get bad. Never store dry Moss in the fridge, it is too moist and the salt crystals will not be able to protect the moss. You may keep your moss for good over a year.

Soaked hydrated Moss should be stored in the fridge. Use a clean glass jar or bowl and change the water every day and it will keep fresh up to 2 weeks, but will loose with time a little of its gelling property.

Irish Moss paste will keep fresh in the fridge for up to 3 weeks. Make sure that you use a clean glass jar with a lid and use always a clean spoon.

Irish Moss paste can also be frozen. It is convenient to use an ice cube tray and fill it with Irish Moss paste. When it is completely frozen, wrap it in a pouch bag, don’t keep it open. It is very convenient to have the portion size moss ready on hand when needed.

Each year, Earth Day — April 22 — marks the anniversary of what many consider the birth of the modern environmental movement in 1970. The height of hippie and flower-child culture in the United States, 1970 brought the death of Jimi Hendrix, the last Beatles album, ….. read more

You can make a change, have fun, enjoy with your family, actively love nature and have a great veggie meal, it is up to you.

Let us inspire you here with a few Earth Day ideas:
1.) Have a green smoothie … get inspiration here
2.) Close your laptop, shut down your phone and go outside, at least 20 minutes. This is the time the mind normally needs to slow down and unwind. Look around, breath in and listen to nature, come to peace — alone or with friends.
3.) Find community activities for Earth Day — join or create.
4.) Celebrate life: smile at people and have uplifting thoughts.
5.) Write into your journal.
6.) Hug a tree :) yes, this is still an old great idea.
7.) Practice yoga with Earth Day in mind, be a blessing for the planet.
8.) Be grateful.
9.) Call a family member you have not talked for a while and listen.
10.) Buy flowers and arrange them beautifully.

“To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides” (David Viscott)

World Environment Day (WED) is the United Nations’ principal vehicle for encouraging worldwide awareness and action for the environment. Over the years it has grown to be a broad, global platform for public outreach that is widely celebrated by stakeholders in over 100 countries. It also serves as the ‘people’s day’ for doing something positive for the environment, galvanizing individual actions into a collective power that generates an exponential positive impact on the planet.

In support of the UN designation of 2014 as the International Year of Small Island Developing States (SIDS), WED this year will adopt SIDS in the broader context of climate change as its theme. Our objectives are to help build momentum towards the Third International Conference on SIDS in September and encourage a greater understanding of the importance of SIDS and of the urgency to help protect the islands in the face of growing risks and vulnerabilities, particularly as a result of climate change. We believe WED will be an excellent opportunity to raise a call for solidarity with the islands.

“Planet Earth is our shared island, let us join forces to protect it.”
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon at the launch of the 2014 International Year of Small Islands and Developing States

According to the Holiday Calendar – 16^th of May is the LOVE-A-TREE-DAY.

There are many reasons why we might love and appreciate trees: their beauty, shade, comfort, peace, food and the value as a material source. We definitely know that we need trees alive for oxygen, temperature balance on the whole planet and much more.

These are some of the oldest trees on the planet and the pictures do not credit to their beauty (left: 4000 yr. Olive tree, Greece, middle: Methuselah 5000 yr Pine in California, right: 3000 yr Baobab Tree, Madagaskar ). If we walk through a forest, we get a glimpse of tree spirit, the wisdom of the huge old trees, the playfulness we might perceive of young trees.
There are many ways to love a tree, this day suggests to identify a tree you particularly love, and to pamper it. Give it a trim. Feed it a dose of fertilizer, water it if it is thirsty!

At DIVINE ORGANICS we choose to introduce you today to the TREE OF LIFE, the MORINGA TREE. Declared as the “world’s most useful tree,” by ScienceDaily (Mar. 14, 2010), the drought resistant Moringa Tree has been found to be the most nutritious food plant ever discovered and would wipe out hunger, malnutrition and an array of diseases on all continents! Moringa purifies drinking water. Moringa fertilizes soil. Moringa is a sustainable source.
