IHM EarthCare Update

With grateful hearts, our EarthCARE committee applauds all the ways in which our Sisters and Associates continue to care for Earth. We’re appreciative also of our friends around the world who tend to the needs of our Common Home and use imagination, creativity, and fresh thinking to honor and learn from Earth.

MYADVICEFORLIFE.COM offers a meaningful and beautiful approach, spreading messages of care for our planet through gifts, magnets, bookmarks, stickers and greeting cards, including the samples shown here: Advice from a Garden, Advice from a Lady Bug, and Advice from a Polar Bear.

Their care goes beyond what they are selling. A native tree is planted for every pound of paper used by the company and for every $20.00 purchase by a customer. To date, 152,243 native trees have been planted by nonprofit partners worldwide who not only plant but care for the trees.

Their scope is extensive because of their desire for everyone to see nature as a teacher and a source of ancient wisdom. Among their helpful offerings: providing PDFs of free, ready-to-use, K12 curricula for Environmental Education.

My Advice for Life notes that their work is a win-win. They “have worked for the last twenty years to love nature, create products, give back to our community, and celebrate nature & human nature. We offer folks a chance to purchase something that will make them laugh, give them profound wisdom, teach them to take care of earth and encourage them to have a low impact on resource usage.” Our thanks to EarthCARE committee member Beth Pearson for sharing this wonderful resource with all of us.
