Oceans swims before heading to the lectures and workshops, in my happy place 🌊🌊 We heard from Helena Norberg-Hodge writer, producer, and on the Economics of Happiness. You can see the doco on what it discusses but some great takeaways about reaching this happiness start with localization. 🥑🍌🥔Shortening the distance from farm to consumer (getting our food from a local source not from mass produced grocery stores. Farmers markets are great for that and you’re supporting a business in your community plastic-free) 📙🖍Making education customized to the area not just generalized across cultures because everywhere is different and has different needs - We have lost our connection to the earth and to what it means to thrive and global trade is making us disconnect from what nature provides us right around us. What we can accomplish locally with human hands on work. Have you thought about your happiness in this world? How has it changed since our parents were young? @newkindfestival • • • • • #economicsofhappiness #newkindfestival #backtonature #tasmaniagram #environmentalactivism #localization #beachbumlife #aussie_images #lifeasbeach #oceanlover #saltyhairdontcare #thinklocal #happinessisachoice #saveourplanet #farmersmarkets #oceanbaby (at Bream Creek, Tasmania, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuKjQIdB25F/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18q115v8oaiuc
