Here's to another one of my crazy endeavours... Now that I don't buy as much packaged food I buy a whole lot more fruit and vegetables, overall it's healthier for me and for the planet except for one tiny bit. Stickers. 🍏🍎🍊🍋 They are tiny yes but this is half the problem because when green waste breaks down they do not and are so small they can't be picked up by scanners so are in our soil forever. 🌏🌏🌏🌏 The other day when I was at the shops I made an effort to take all my stickers off but who was that helping? No one. As part of an experiment our household of three is going to collect all of the stickers we get and see how many we go through over the next couple of months. Showing that even though they're small it all adds up. In Sweden they are trialling tattooing fruits with branding. Stay tuned to see how our sticker stack grows 💗 . . . . . #zerowaste #organic #ecofriendly #australia #consciousliving #ecolife #reuse #recycle #refuse #loveourplanet #planetfriendly #plastic #waronplastic #cleanourplanet #pickuprubbish #drinkclean #environment #savetheplanet #blueplanet #plasticfree #healthyshop #compost #foodwaste #organic #health #healthylife #plasticfreeshopping #sustainableliving #strawnomore #plasticfreegroceries

This stat left me speechless 😶. Tidying up and decluttering is a great thing to do, as long as we make sure we're conscious of our future purchases. Do you really need another white tee? Will anyone really notice if you wear a dress you've worn before this weekend? Before you make your next impulse clothes purchase make sure it is something you really need. . . . #plogging #plastic #planet #plasticcrisis #take3forthesea #sydney #sustainable #fastfashion #sustainableliving #sustainablefashion #ethicalfashion #banishau #banishbandit #blueplanet #banthebag #beatplasticpollution #banplastic #savetheplanet #savemarinelife #pickuprubbish #waste #waronplastic #waronwaste #australia #plasticfree #plastic #quoteoftheday #qotd #quote #meme

It is strange to say but one of my favourite things about NZ would have to have been the bees! I'd never seen so many, from huge fuzzy bees to tiny bees, a while ago I would have run away shrieking at the site of one but now I have an appreciation for these guys! A couple of fun facts for you: 🐝 Bees are one of the most important creatures in the world? We rely on them for almost 65% of our food! 🐝 A honey bee will visit between 50 to 100 flowers per trip out of the hive 🐝 They have two stomachs - one for carrying pollen the other for food 🐝 The average honey bee will produce 1/12th of a tsp of honey in their lifetime Unfortunately, (apart from the NZ wilderness) these little guys aren't doing so well 😢. With urbanisation, toxic chemical use in backyards and parks and a decrease in pollen (flowers) and habitats in big cities, their numbers are in decline. So what can we do? 🐝 If you have a backyard or a small courtyard invest in a bee and bug hotel (pictured) this gives the bees shelter and protection when it rains but also when they are struggling to find food. 🐝 Plant flowers (or use our bee seed bombs) or leave a teaspoon with some white sugar and honey outside for them! Give the bees something to snack on while they are out. 🐝 Avoid using chemicals and pesticides in your garden 🐝 Support our farmers and our bees and buy raw organic and local honey . . . . . #savethebees #beethecure #zerowaste #outdoors #ecofriendly #australia #consciousliving #ecolife #reuse #recycle #refuse #loveourplanet #planetfriendly #outdoors #lavenderfarm #lavender #sustainableliving #sustainability #environment #savetheplanet #blueplanet #nature #beauty #greenbeauty #ecolife #honey #bee #bees #healthylife #healthyliving
