If only bananas could have a natural, protective skin that’s easy to peel and biodegradable so they wouldn’t need a plastic wrap…

Fresh oat milk delivered to your door in reusable

Fresh oat milk delivered to your door in reusable glass containers by the milkman. Just like the good old days but now vegan friendly.
⁠⁠
If you’re aiming to be plastic free Tetra Pak cartons are a no-no.

On the days when you're low energy, even though making oat milk is so easy, you just want to grab something for a quick splash in your tea. It's also hard to make oatmilk where it doesn't separate, so after a month of using it, I'm happy to recommend Oato as the solution.
⁠⁠
And with the small world that we live in, it's cool to discover that it was founded by a familiar face from the university I went to many moons ago. Thanks to Facebook friends for keeping in contact, I was able to track down Carl Hopwood for an interview on how Oato came about. ⁠⁠

Who else has quit microbeads?⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Microbe

Who else has quit microbeads?⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Microbeads are manufactured, tiny, solid plastic particles of less than one millimetre in their largest dimension, which do not dissolve in water. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
The use of plastic microbeads in face scrubs, exfoliants, body washes and even toothpaste has a detrimental impact on the natural world. Once the tiny beads are out in the wild, they can be easily ingested by marine animals and enter the food chain. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
It's time to end them for good.⁠⁠

Here’s one that inspired me with my #plasticfree journey.

Happy World Wildlife Day. This year's theme is to highlight the central role of forests, forest animals and ecosystems.

Today, we are encouraged to get to know the forest ecosystems and wildlife species nearest to us and the threats they face.

In the UK, we have beautiful foxes. It's so sad to see a video of a fox with its head stuck inside a plastic bottle or a pup chewing on plastic.

What wildlife do you have in the forests where you live?

💪 Join the @aimplasticfree challenge for tips and tricks on how to reduce using single-use plastic.

Are you aware of the bitter truth behind the choco

Are you aware of the bitter truth behind the chocolate industry?

These chocolate bars symbolise how many chocolate manufacturers choose big profits and cheap prices over human rights.

Twenty years after the chocolate industry promised to eradicate illegal child labour, it’s still widely prevalent.

2021 is designated as the International Year for the Elimination of Child Labour. We need to have laws in place that hold companies accountable.

You can be part of the Sweet Solution and sign the petition demanding human rights legislation that holds companies accountable for modern slavery and illegal child labour in their supply chains.

When it comes to washing your clothes in an eco-fr

When it comes to washing your clothes in an eco-friendly way, there are a few things to consider. First, there’s energy and water consumption. Then, there are the chemicals in the products we use, plus the plastic containers they come in. Finally, there’s the actual clothing itself that sheds as you wash it. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Some tips, tools and tricks are up on the blog. Click the link in bio and head to "read the latest blog post" for full details. ⁠⁠

Miss the cute cafes of Chiang Mai with their beaut

Miss the cute cafes of Chiang Mai with their beautiful bamboo straws and delicious passion fruit sodas.

Did you know in the USA alone, 500 million straws are used each day? This is enough to go around the Earth twice!

Let’s quit plastic straws. Are they banned where you live yet?

Shower clean all day long. I have been using a bid

Shower clean all day long. I have been using a bidet for years. The first time I remember trying was in India at 15 years old, then many times in travels. As a fully converted adult, it started in Thailand, then we set one up in Germany via the tap (which conveniently unscrews in a few seconds) and now it's here in the UK. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Water is the best way to clean our most intimate areas. Think about it, would you use only a dry tissue to really clean your hands if they're dirty, filthy clothes, your body, dishes or anywhere else? Surely there's not a chance you answer yes?⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Benefits⁠⁠
Save on toilet paper. A huge topic over the last year! You can still use it to dry. Some estimate you can save over £6k on your toilet paper bill over 5 years.⁠
Softer and a more hygienic experience.⁠⁠ My flatmates have converted.
⁠⁠
It's so easy to install a gun or bidet. Let me know if you have any questions about this? Feel free to DM me if you find the topic a bit too taboo.

Worked late tonight but found time to sneak out for a cheeky bretzel to make my German Freunde proud.

I bring my own net cloth bag to avoid using the single-use plastic bags for about 1 minute because, let’s be real, baked goods and pastries are to be eaten immediately!

I don’t know about you, but I want plastic free

I don’t know about you, but I want plastic free food. I’m slowly swapping plastic kitchenware out of my life.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
On top of environmental pollution, there are dangers to mixing food with plastic. There are many types of plastics, all of which are made up of chemicals. You’re exposed to small amounts of these chemicals every time you microwave your food in a plastic container. The heat can cause certain chemicals to leach into your food and drink. With consistent exposure over time, your risk for fertility issues goes up. There is also heightened concern for pregnant women, their foetuses, and children exposed to heated plastic. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Today’s blog goes through some easy swaps.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
What’s your favourite kitchen swap?
