Water is the world's most precious resource. However, 86% of plastic water bottles end up sitting in landfills or waterways in the United States alone. While everyone needs access to clean drinking water, there has to be a better way than plastic. David Cuthbert, CEO of Mananalu, explains how Jason Mamoa founded this company not to sell water, but to sell sustainability. With their "Drink One, Remove One" initiative, Mananalu is working to rid the world's oceans of plastic, one bottle at a time.

We're led to believe that traditional medicine involves seeing a doctor in a white coat, most likely being prescribed some pills for whatever ails us and going home. But over the last hundred years, we've lost the true meaning of traditional medicine. In fact, naturopathic medicine encompasses more of the traditional aspects of health and wellness that our ancestors relied on. Dr. Lana Butner, board-certified naturopathic doctor (ND), explains how naturopathic medicine can help get to the bottom of your health and wellness issues.

If the pandemic has taught us anything, it's that preparing for the unexpected can make a big difference.

While not everyone has the desire to live off the grid, learning to be more self-reliant could be the difference between panic and calm. Michael Major, author of the book No Grid Survival Projects, explains how learning how to be more self-reliant in your everyday life can help prepare you for survival in a disaster. It's not about doomsday prepping– it's about empowering yourself and your family to be more equipped for survival in the event of the unexpected.
