Green Goddess: Supermodel Angela Lindvall’s Eco-Diary Inline
Photo: Chris Chandler1/7"I always start my day with a sense of gratitude and meditation to connect with my highest self. I believe this is the best way to get clear with what it is that really makes us happy. When I come from a place of clarity, I can be of service to others and make conscious choices in my life that affect the larger whole."

The foods we choose to eat—be it locally grown, organic vs. GMO and pesticide-grown food—is the biggest aspect of how we can live a healthier life and have a healthier planet. Factory farming is not only inhumane, but it has detrimental effects on the air, soil, and water. So I only eat and feed my family the highest-quality, organic, locally grown foods."

This is the most cost-effective way of eating organic. By eliminating foods that are processed and full of synthetic chemicals and additives, we are preventing ourselves from developing cancer and disease that has been growing at an astronomical rate, thus protecting our earth as well."

Creating nutrient-rich compost full of microorganisms replenishes the earth with vital nutrients that we have slowly depleted from our Mother Earth. I support Kiss the Ground, a nonprofit bringing awareness around the importance of rebuilding the humus layers of the earth through composting, which in turn brings down our CO2 levels in the atmosphere."

My old space has become Greenleaf Oasis, a space where I will hold private health retreats. I cannot think of a better way to live than to cultivate the earth and create sacred space for people to come heal."
