Nature Inspiration
As we settle back to our weekly duties, we may be searching
for the inspiration to continue on in our busy week. So where to look? Nature
of course! With temperatures warming, soon our backyards are going to be full
of budding life! Flowers blossoming, birds chirping and bugs buzzing. Inspiration
can be found just by looking outside. Look to the bees to encourage you to work
hard during your day to reap your “honey” later. Hear those birds chirping in the early
morning? Take that as encouragement to join them and get a head start on the
day.
An important thing to remember as we look at Mother Nature
is that everything we see is directly affected by our day-to-day decisions. A lot
of people talk about recycling our plastics, cans, and cardboard. We have been
told to turn the lights out when exiting a room, and lower the heat in our
houses to conserve energy. These are all great tips to use in reducing our
carbon footprint. How about we go further than just reducing, what would happen
if we gave back? What if we get outside and embrace the outdoors. Plant more
trees, clean up parks, and enrich the habitats we have in our own backyards?
These are only a few ideas of how you can give back and help the environment
around you to thrive.
Try It Out!
The more space we take with our apartment complexes and
parking garages, the less homes are left for the native animals. Creating
spaces for nature to thrive in your own backyard is an easy way to give back
and you can enjoy the critters that come by to visit. Try creating food
garlands. This a great way to create a space for birds, bees and even
butterflies. Check out this blog by HGTV
on ways to create your own garland.
Another way to create a thriving
space is by creating a bug hotel. Bug hotels create the perfect “nest” for any
insect. They can be created by using any recycled materials or with a more fancy
flair to also create an artist piece for your backyard. The Red
Ted Art blog goes into even more detail on just how easy they can bee (pun
totally intended)! Hope you all feel inspired for another great week ahead.
