Like nothing else in our lifetimes, the COVID pandemic—and our response to it—has revealed the truth about our environmental impact.
The shut-downs of our industries, commerce, traffic, and air travel are major challenges for many of us humans. For the rest of the Earth, it has been a blessing: cleaner air, cleaner water, and rapidly regenerating ecosystems.
It is almost as if, with the temporary cessation of our relentless activity, the entire planet is able to exhale a sigh of relief, and use this period to recharge and detoxify after a century of non-stop human activity.
As we mark the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, it is a good time to reflect on the truth that personal health and planetary health are intimately connected.
Join Holistic Primary Care’s editor Erik Goldman for an in-depth interview with renowned holistic physician and educator, Elson Haas, MD, looking at the global implications of the COVID crisis.
We’ll explore:
- What ecologists are learning in the wake of the Coronavirus crisis
- How we create a new and healthier “normal”
- Why personal healing and planetary healing need to go together
- 5G and the question of EMF pollution
- How we can eliminate toxins from our homes and our communities
- Food choices that optimize personal immune system resilience and planetary health
