🌿 Eco-Anxiety & The One Simple Thing That Helped Me
For years I felt this quiet heaviness about the state of the planet. I didn’t have a name for it then, but now I know it was eco-anxiety — that feeling of, “The problem is so huge… what can I actually do?” And like most families, our budget wasn’t endless. I needed something real, simple, and genuinely impactful. That’s when the simple act of planting a tree hit me. 🌿 The more I learned, the more I realised 🌿 - Trees breathe with the planet, literally cleaning and balancing the air. - Their roots form underground networks that feed and communicate with other trees and life. - Their leaves send signals above the ground to protect and support the forest around them. - They are energetic beings that stabilise, ground, and soften the land. And the part that shifted everything for me? 🌱 Planting a tree is simple and accessible 🌱 - One action. - Low cost. - Big impact. 🌏 Does One Tree Really Matter? Yes. One tree stores carbon, creates habitat, stabilises soil, feeds ecosystems, cools the land, and becomes part of a much bigger whole. 🌳 One tree becomes a grove. 🌳 A grove becomes a forest. 🌳 And a forest changes everything. 🌳 🌱 A Gentle Invitation If you’ve ever felt that ache about the planet and wanted to help in a real, tangible way… Start with one tree. It’s one of the simplest, most meaningful actions you can take — and it truly does make a difference. It makes me feel better every day about my children's future being able to create tangible and meaningful change 💚
