The Fourth Wellness

Environmental Wellness, whose stylized symbol is the Ladybug. I am Well Intentioned

1. I aim for a lifestyle with little or no impact on the earth

2. clean air with healthy humidity

3. I efficiently reduce transportation 

4. I make my space, indoors and out, comfortable for walking and examination

5. I use less energy by blocking off rooms when necessary, burning burnables, wearing layers of clothing  

6. I utilize free energy, like keeping windows clean, heating rocks while cooking, candles

7. green home design and improvement, use of natural local materials, recycle, insulate

8. produce food at home, eliminate food waste 

9. efficient kitchen organization 

10. water control, rainwater harvesting. I catch and reuse running water in my kitchen.

11. achieve green spaces with abundant plants and edible landscaping --with special attention to places of honor

12. waste management, maintain space dedicated to burnable and heat production --stove or fireplace or firepit --and maintain sufficient space for clean burnables. Recycle trash like good glass containers or sturdy wrapping paper. I save coffee grounds and tea leaves to add to the soil

13. I buy the best quality I can afford so that I needn't replace as often

14. I maintain my property to discourage pests. I invite bees by setting out a basin of water filled with stones.
