In honor of Earth Day (April 22) I watched an episode of “Down to Earth With Zac Efron”. In case you haven’t heard of it, it’s an amazing Netflix documentary starring Zac Efron and health guru Darin Olien. It’s an eight-part series in which Zac and Darin explore ways to improve our own health, as well as that of our planet, by traveling around the world in search of people who are making a difference.
Each episode focuses on a different part of the globe and topics that affect us all, or will at some point, and the phenomenal people who are working to find economical, ecological, humane, and sustainable solutions to preserve and protect our planet and ALL of its inhabitants. From the jungles of Peru and Costa Rica to the bustling cities of London, Lima, and Paris to the islands of Puerto Rico, Iceland, and Sardinia, Zac and Darin discover what people are doing to create clean energy, water, air, and food, live longer, healthier lives, save and protect Earth’s plants, animals, and resources, and – more importantly – help each other in times of crisis.
And we really need to take notice.
The problems are real. We can’t ignore them any longer. But we can work together to find solutions that benefit everyone. We can learn from our mistakes (if we choose to) and work toward a better, brighter future not only for ourselves but for generations to come. We truly are all connected, whether we want to believe it or not, and we can make a difference.
I’ve literally lost count of the number of times I’ve watched this entire series. I laugh and cry and wonder with each episode. It is my sincere hope that you watch this series and are moved to make changes of your own, no matter how small. I personally, have taken the lessons to heart and I’m trying to do what I can to make the world a better place for myself and my kids and live life to the fullest!
P.S. I’ve heard that Season 2 will be released sometime in 2022 – fingers crossed! Can’t wait!
Wholeness Health and YOU!
