Today we’re reminded to honor the elders in our community 👵 👴 — to celebrate their accomplishments, dedication, and the wisdom they share. It’s also a moment to recognize the challenges many older adults face, such as isolation and loneliness. If you have a senior in your life, take the time to reach out and connect. We don’t stop being important with age, and whether it’s a family member or someone in your community, your presence can truly brighten their day 💚✨⁠

One choice can give someone more time to laugh, to live, to love.⁠
⁠
Today and always, we honor the donors and their families who have given the extraordinary gift of life. Even in their final moments, their kindness continues to grow far beyond their own lifetime, living on in the lives and hearts of others. We also thank those who have made the decision to one day do the same.⁠

For some, the idea of cremation or aquamation may be against their beliefs, while others may have chosen to donate their body to science. Yet, they love the idea of returning to nature with the Bios Urn®.⁠
⁠
In place of ashes, the Bios Urn® can be filled with biodegradable memorabilia that holds special meaning. A tree will grow in your memory, continuing alongside those who keep your memories alive.⁠

Not all gifts come in a box or wrapped in a bow. Some are silent gestures of kindness or selfless choices made in life. Given without expectations, acts like donating organs or choosing to give your body to science, can change lives in ways we may never see.⁠
⁠
But it doesn't have to stop there. Even after we're gone, it can continue with the Bios Urn®.⁠
⁠
Return to nature and grow into a tree, offering life to others, shelter to wildlife, and hope for the future.⁠
⁠
A gift rooted in life. A gift that keeps growing. ⁠

Dogs live for their daily walks, with tails wagging, noses busily sniffing, and hearts full. But a walk in the summer can be a little tricky.⁠
⁠
For a paw-fectly enjoyable summer walk, try switching up your routine if you haven't already. Head out during cooler hours of the day, either early in the morning or later in the evening. Stick to shady paths and remember to bring water. Watch out for hot pavement too: If it's too hot for your hand, it's too hot for their paws. You can always skip the pavement and stroll on grass or cooler surfaces instead.⁠
⁠
Every walk is a memory in the making, a moment you and your best furry friend will treasure forever ☀️🐾⁠

Have you ever noticed how trees lean towards the sun? It's called phototropism, a plant's way of chasing the light.⁠
⁠
No matter where they grow, even in the darkest woods, trees instinctively grow toward what gives them life. ⁠
⁠
Such a powerful example of nature's relentless drive for life. Always reaching, always striving ☀️⁠

Oftentimes, families choose to split ashes for various reasons, such as growing memorial trees in different places so each loved one can have their own tribute.⁠
⁠
One question we often receive is whether the Bios Urn® works with just a small amount of ash. The answer is yes.⁠
⁠
Even a symbolic amount works perfectly. Just be sure to fill the rest of the lower capsule with soil from the area where you’ll plant it.⁠

What if you no longer needed to buy toilet paper, but could grow it instead? 🧻🌿

Sounds wild, right? But it's entirely possible!

Meet Plectranthus barbatus, the plant in the picture. Also known as Kikuyu toilet paper, blue spur flower, or boldo, its soft, lemony-scented leaves have been used for generations in some parts of the world as a natural, eco-friendly alternative to TP. And it's starting to catch on elsewhere too!

In some places, people brew the leaves into tea to soothe upset stomachs 🍵

Would you try growing it in your garden?

Over 8 billion of us share this planet we call home 🌍⁠
⁠
More people mean more pressure on resources and land, but it also means more opportunity, more ideas, and more ways to do things differently and sustainably. From the food we grow to how we eventually return to nature, every conscious decision today shapes the world future generations will inherit 🌱💚⁠
