How an App Is Bringing Nature Closer to Home
An app called Wildling is helping people rediscover nature right where they live. Backed by major conservation groups, the free app maps more than 1,500 wild spaces across the UK, from quiet city parks to remote coastlines. Its goal is simple: make nature easier to find and inspire people to spend more time outdoors.
Wildling also offers tips for exploring and connecting with the outdoors, like building dens or going rock pooling. Users can even donate to conservation charities or sign up for local volunteering opportunities directly through the app.
Sometimes the hardest part is simply knowing where to go. With Wildling, nature becomes just a tap away, turning phones into tools for restoration.
Sunset of the Day in Aruba
The Canopy reader Tracey shared this gorgeous view from a recent trip to Aruba. The sky lit up in soft streaks of pink, orange, and lavender, casting a warm glow over the quiet beach. It’s the kind of morning that feels like a reset button in the best way.
Thanks to Tracey for sending this in. If you’ve captured a sunlit moment that made you stop and breathe a little deeper, send it in for your chance to be featured as the sunset of the day!

Do Your Floors Need Some Attention?
Everyday life takes a toll on floors—scratches, stains, dents, and fading are all signs it may be time for an upgrade. Water damage can also warp surfaces, cause swelling, or even create hidden mold, making replacement a smart choice for both looks and safety. Lowe’s Flooring Services makes this process easier and more cost-effective, offering professional installation and a wide range of materials to fit any style or budget. Just click below and schedule your appointment today.
Other reasons to renovate your flooring:
New flooring adds underfoot comfort, reduces noise, and creates a warmer atmosphere
Properly installed floors help insulate rooms, lowering heating and cooling costs throughout the year.
Lowe’s offers eco-friendly flooring choices, such as bamboo or recycled vinyl, helping reduce environmental impact.

How to Take an Eco-Friendly Vacation That’s Still Fun
You don’t need a luxury budget or a backpacking mindset to travel sustainably, just a few small tweaks. Eco-friendly travel is really about being intentional, not perfect.
Start simple: pack light, bring reusables (like a water bottle and tote bag), and choose smaller, locally owned stays with visible eco-practices. Walking, biking, or using public transit saves money and cuts emissions. Plus, you’ll see more of the real place you came to explore!
Skip chain restaurants for local cafés or street food, and try a few meat-free meals along the way. Turn off hotel lights and AC when you’re out, buy souvenirs that support local artisans, and bring reef-safe sunscreen if you’re near the ocean. Even small habits like refilling bottles, sharing rides, or donating leftover currency add up.
Sustainable travel doesn’t mean sacrificing fun. It just means enjoying the world in a way that helps protect it for your next trip.
