  • Recently a reader got in touch looking for help finding plastic free water filters for their home. It’s not an area I know a ton about - so I decided to do some research and answer their question as best I could. What I found is on the blog now - turns out there’s a quite a few options you can try depending on your needs and location, so it’s well worth learning more about and being informed!

  • Just 100 companies are responsible for 70% of global emissions, so how do we change things? By changing the law. Causing serious loss or destruction of ecosystems is known as ecocide. Making it illegal prevents investors from backing projects that cause ecocide, and insurers from underwriting it. Those responsible - CEOs and government ministers - are held accountable as they become individually criminally responsible for ecocide which they recklessly cause or contribute to. We can all play a part in making ecocide an international law, and holding those accountable who have escaped it for so long. Visit @ecocidelaw’s website to sign up, it only costs £5 to become part of one of the most important global movements of our lifetime 🌱🐚💚 📷 @lizzie_churchill
  • It’s been 4 years since The True Cost came out, is the fashion industry any better? Have we progressed at all, or are we completely stuck in our current systems? Is it possible to have any hope when it comes to these industries? @stylewiseblog decided to try and answer that question, I’ve shared her words on the blog for you to have a think on too.

  • If you’re able to, please consider not buying from Amazon today and supporting your local small businesses instead. Prime day may be a good marketing tool, but this doesn’t negate the fact that Amazon is profiting off the current ICE raids in the US, has appalling working conditions (workers are striking today/tomorrow because of this), doesn’t pay its taxes, and is run by the richest man in the world who thinks the best use of his money is space travel when literally anything else would probably be more helpful right now. Why not check out your local bookstore, online maker or small market instead (like @agnesldn’s zero waste goods which are featured here)? I know this giant isn’t wholly avoidable for all of us, but for some it might be easier to cut down on our Amazon reliance than we think! So why not have a look into what you can do today and moving forwards. ✨ Also - links in stories for more Amazon info. 📷 @gianna_scavo
  • Snapshots of a future beyond the capitalist system we know today: one time, instead of using money, I traded my skills for free pizza, and it was glorious 🍕🍕🍕 I know it’s hard to envision a society that isn’t structured as we currently know it, but there are people working to build that world. In the face of growing wealth inequality and unfairness people are once again turning to bartering and working together as communities instead, and it’s great! Want to know how/get involved?

  • Need help with natural, non-toxic or zero waste cleaning? I’ve got a guide for you! I searched the internet for my favourite recipes, options and ideas for keeping your home squeaky clean and free from unwanted chemicals and it’s on the blog now. Hopefully it’s handy - link in the bio ✨🌻🌱 📷 @unsplash
  • If you’ve been loving the new Stranger Things episodes, here’s a lil reminder that you might not need to emulate the style by buying from fast fashion brands jumping on the bandwagon. Whether you love Hopper’s Hawaiian shirt and acid wash jeans (which is honestly an A+ look) or El’s jumpsuits, this is a perfect example where going secondhand/shopping vintage will be a better idea! There are nearly always options out there that already exist and are just waiting for a new owner, plus they’re cheaper. For example, this entire outfit cost me £12 🌱💕 Happy Netflix bingeing if you’re still working your way through the season and let the colourful styling commence 🙃🙃🙃 📷 @gianna_scavo
  • Lets talk about mental health and the environment. It’s hard. I think many of us swing between despair and hope, helplessness and relentless drive to act. We can’t give up, but how do we do it? I’m giving a free talk on Tuesday in London looking at some of the methods for mental health and environmental action that can keep us hopeful and healthy. It’s free to attend, just register at the link in my bio, and let’s build some in person community together to tackle this huge topic together. 🌻💕🌱 Take care of yourself today. 📷 @gianna_scavo
