22 Apr Celebrating Mother Nature – International Earth Day 2019
It is 2019. Which means, let's wake up and face the issues. Happy Earth Day 2019. Happy? Well, not as much but what can one say? Good luck to our planet, that would be more appropriate. I also don't want to come out as pessimistic here. After all, this is the one day in a whole year when we should be celebrating the wonderful planet that we live on! Expressing gratitude for Earth today can come in many forms. Maybe you might consider carpooling to work this week, or riding a bike. Bringing your reusable cup to your local cafe, refusing a straw at the bar, later tonight. Choose the vegetables and fruits that aren't wrapped in plastic. Watch Our Planet on Netflix. Enjoy vegan meals and many more ideas of how to celebrate this year's Earth Day. Earth Day organization Standing from a point of compassion is a great start. Would you do something that would hurt your kids? Or your dog, or your wife? Probably not. We have two homes. Our body and this planet. That is why taking care of them is so important. Living in a clean, fresh environment creates a perfect place for us to grow and delevop. Come up with new ideas and do good. Where to we start? Changing "What difference will it make?" to "OK. I'm ready. What can I do?" May I mention that sharing sustainable living tips and ways to be more "green" hasn't been all unicorns and rainbows? It definitely hasn't been a smooth ride. I feel like it could relate to veganism. Vegan activists must put up with a lot of bull**** throughout their day, right? I get lots of sweet comments in my dm's, some a bit sweeter than others but that's okay. I have already accepted the fact that when you publicly display your strong and deeply rooted opinion into something, others might feel like you are attacting and them is the target. Which is the opposite of what I am trying to do. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); My mission My mission with all these sustainability, green peace, ban single-use plastic posts is to simply spread the word about what our situation is! In a nice way, of course. :) After reading PLASTIC-FREE, it became clear that is up to use, to make the right choice. Our living situation on this beautiful lush planet is determined to how we treat it, directly connected to individuals everyday choices. You literally wake up and stop by a cafe on the way to the office. There is a choice, whether you want to take the coffee cup with a plastic lid, along with some takeout breakfast in a plastic container, or maybe cook your own breakfast and bring a reusable coffee mug with you? And the choices that we live by, every day determine our living situation on this planet. Single Use Plastics Issue Single-use plastic items take valuable resources to create, only to be used for a couple of hours, minutes, or even seconds before being chucked away. Yet plastic can take hundreds and hundreds of years to decompose. So were those 2 minutes of pleasure really worth it? Also, that water bottle you’re drinking from? You won’t be around in the year 2300, but the bottle will most likely be. Does that make sense? Two awesome books: 101 to go zero waste Fuck Plastic It’s scientifically predicted that by 2050 there will be more plastic in the oceans than fish. Even though they’re not outnumbered yet, fish are eating a lot of plastic. Wales are slowly going instict, getting washed up on the beach with a stomach full of plastic. If its not too late yet, then this is a very good time to start thinking about our choices. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Easy Single use plastic swaps Did you know that the dirty word of 2018 was plastic? It only means things are changing. For good. Luckily, living plastic-free isn't that hard. I've been there and I can't go back now. You might think recycling is a better option. But even if you recycle all the plastic you use, it’s far better for the planet to avoid using (or even creating) it in the first place. Besides that, most of the recycling doesn't even make it to the last resort. Either the wind blows it away or it ends up in the water...
