“Sustainability - the quality of not being harmful to the environment or depleting natural resources, and thereby supporting long-term ecological balance” (Dictionary.com)
I have a deep connection to plants and the environment and strongly believe in being sustainable in my day to day life. As herbalists we need to be mindful of where and how we source herbs, not to overharvest or use endangered plants, to ensure the long-term viability of our plants for food and health.
Let us all take a moment on this Earth Day to reflect on what we are doing to make our planet more sustainable for us and future generations - it is our responsibility to take actions now.
