EarthCare: Doable Actions for a Healthier Planet

What does Compassionate/Nonviolent Communication (or NVC) have to do with the health of our planet? NVC cultivates life-serving awareness of needs like health, safety, peace, vitality, fairness, balance, and compassion; and seeks to meet these needs through peaceful and doable actions.

With this intention, NVC invites us to embrace the interconnectedness of everything, including the health and vitality of this extraordinary place we live in. There are many simple ways we can help support planetary health. Even small actions have a big effect when we consider the combined power of our community. We are sharing tips and events that can help us learn new actions we might take and remind us of ones we’d like to continue. Our focus will be to offer doable tips; even small actions make a difference!


Doable Actions

As we suggest EarthCare Doable Actions in our newsletters, we’ll compile the actions here as well for a complete reference. Do you have any tips you’d like to suggest? Email them to bryn@compassionatecenter.org. Also check out The Environmental Center for more tips, helpful information, and opportunities to participate in projects and events.
