With World Earth Day upon us, let's take a moment to reflect on the profound impact our choices have on this beautiful planet we are lucky to call home. Each small, intentional step we take to tread more gently whether in what we consume, how we live, or what we support has the power to protect and preserve the earth for generations to come.
While every day presents an opportunity to honour the Earth, Earth Day is a time to pause. A time to give thanks for the abundance around us, to reflect on how deeply we’re all connected to nature, and how much we rely on her to nourish, sustain, and ground us.
I don’t know about you, but I find it difficult to understand how some people can be entertaining the idea of moving humanity to space. When all we need, all we’ve ever truly needed is right here, within the arms of our magnificent Mother Earth. The more time I spend immersed in nature, the more reverence I feel for the extraordinary gifts we’ve been given, clean air, healing plants, rivers that flow, bees that pollinate, sunrises that fill us with hope, and sunsets that promise a new day. Everything we require to live well already exists here, woven into the fabric of this wonderous, living, breathing planet.
This Earth is sacred and it’s our job to protect her.
The theme for Earth Day this year is “Our Power. Our Earth.”
It’s a beautiful reminder that each of us holds influence. We all have the power to make a difference, whether through big, bold changes or small, consistent actions. Each choice matters. This day invites us to consider...
What are we doing to care for the Earth? And what could we be doing better?
At Riverbalms, caring for the earth isn’t just a once a year thing, it’s built into everything we do. Every time you choose Riverbalms, you’re supporting a small, local South Australian business with sustainability at its heart. From our compostable, reusable and recyclable packaging, to our use of natural, locally sourced ingredients, like olive oil pressed just down the road and beeswax gathered a couple of hours away. Every decision is made with care for the planet in mind. We believe in doing things slowly, thoughtfully, and with respect for the land we’re lucky to call home.
We’re so grateful to be part of your everyday rituals, whether it’s the lip balm in your bag or the eucalyptus balm you reach for when comfort is needed. Your support helps us continue this gentle, intentional approach and reminds us that small choices truly do make a difference.
If Earth Day has you thinking about ways to tread a little lighter, here are a few gentle ideas:
-
Grow something...from herbs on the windowsill to natives in your garden.
-
Choose handmade or second hand when it feels right.
-
Carry a keep cup or reusable bag, it really does add up.
-
Compost food scraps.
-
Step outside, slow down, and notice the beauty around you.
There’s no perfect way to care, just lots of little, thoughtful ones.
However you choose to care, we are right there with you.
Thank you for supporting small, thoughtful choices.
Thank you for choosing Riverbalms.
Happy Earth Day 🌏
