Happy Sustainability Sunday! Did you know that food is the largest component of landfills within the US? Up to 1/4 of each landfill is food! Each year, over 35 million tons of food get added to US landfills! You can help reduce that number by: - Keep your foods properly stored! Over two-thirds of food waste is often because the food spoils early! - Start keeping the foods you don't finish! Storing leftovers helps reduce food waste by a pound each day! - Start composting! Composting is a way for all of your food waste to enrich the environment by putting it back in the soil! #environment #environmental #environmentallyfriendly #environmentallyconscious #reuse #reuserecycle #reusereducerecycle #reduce #reducewaste #reducereuserecycle #earth #earthfocus #earthday #earthday2024 #earthdayeveryday #awareness #upcycling #upcycle

Join World Bee Day today!⁠ ⁠ Bee Day is a global celebration dedicated to raising awareness about the crucial role of bees in our ecosystems and promoting efforts to protect and preserve them. Bees play a vital role in pollinating a wide variety of crops, contributing to food security and biodiversity. This day serves as a reminder of the importance of conserving bee populations, as they face numerous threats, including habitat loss, pesticide use, climate change, and diseases. ⁠ ⁠ Link in bio for more⁠

Have you heard the buzzzzzz? It's World Bee Day! 🐝 We know the little guys in our post might not look like the regular bees you're used to seeing, but we're so lucky in Australia to have over 1,700 species of native bees! Some of our super special bee species include: Stingless bees, Carpenter bees, Blue banded bees, Teddy Bear bees, Leafcutter bees, Resin bees, Masked bees and Homalictus bees! A lot of these are solitary species, so you won't see them hanging out in hives, and some are even ground dwelling, preferring to make their homes in the dirt! We all know bees are incredibly important for pollination, but did you know that one third of the world's food production relies on the help of bees! Some bees have even evolved specific pollination techniques for those harder to pollinate plants. You can help your local bee population by planting pollinator friendly plants (the more variety the better!), limiting the use of chemical pesticides and insecticides, building bee hotels for our solitary species, and leaving areas of your yard undisturbed to help protect our ground dwellers. How many native bee varieties have you spotted recently? #reducewaste #protectourplanet #conservation #sustainableschools #environmentaleducation #climateaction #sustainability #environment #ecokids #ecomarines #savethebees #WorldBeeDay

Today our Inspirational Woman Alice @thisisalicesworld @thestylingbank tells us about her learning as an assistant stylist and her challenges as she navigates her job as a stylist. ‘I worked with lots of different stylists for a few years, costume stylists, interior stylists, fashion, celebrity stylists, on big editorials, preparing celebrities for events, an interior stylist gave me a really good insight into props and set dressing, a really good costume stylist called Mr Gammon trained me really well on preparation. He had a big store of clothes and we would go through his rails first and fill in any gaps from elsewhere. I also worked with Anna Foster, who started ELV Denim…At the time she was a celebrity stylist and worked for i-D Magazine. She gave me a great insight into; (this was right at the beginning of the sustainable fashion movement) that what we’d stereotypically known as fashion, had a new way of thinking, and direction and how we should be more mindful of brands and the usage of fast fashion.’ ‘When I started working with my own clients, it was right at the beginning of online fashion and I realised that now I could, with a click of a button buy in all these clothes and have them delivered. As an assistant I had spent years schlepping around shops, buying suitcases and suitcases of clothing and trailing them back with me. It was amazing to have everything delivered to your doorstep, it made it all so easy.’ ‘However, with time I became much more aware of the practises involved when working that way and was increasingly seeing what you were expected to bring to shoots, then all the waste it created. That’s when it started feeling wrong and didn’t sit well with me. It really felt awful.’ D: The reality is that the retailers don’t even try to sell them again. ‘I believed it was the same as when you go into a shop and the merchandise goes back on the shop floor and is bought by somebody else, that that was what was happening online too but it’s not the case…and I believe that’s what most people think when they return their clothes, but it’s not, the returns go straight to landfill here or oversea.

Does anyone else have a notebook problem? Personally, as I type this post, I have a stack of notebooks behind my laptop, and there are more in my closet. 📓 Paper is embedded into many areas of our lives, yet we know that its production uses up valuable natural resources. Did you know that the global annual production of paper and cardboard is 420 million tons? The production of one ton of paper requires two to three times its weight in trees, not to mention 300 to 400 tons of water and a significant quantity of energy. 📄 In my latest post (link in bio), I share tips for reducing paper use so you can reduce your contribution to these environmental issues. ♻️ #PaperUse #ReducePaperUse #SavePaper #SaveTrees #PaperWaste #PaperPollution #ReduceWaste #SustainableLifestyle #SustainabilityTips

My last video was about conscious shopping, and on the same line, here (second image) are some facts about fast fashion that hopefully will make you think twice about that piece of clothing you have your eye on. The best tools for making decisions are @goodonyou_app and @fash_rev. If I'm unsure about a brand and their process, their conditions, their alignment with sustainability, they have the best resources to check and learn more about the brands you wear. #consciousclothing

140/366 . 🤭[Awo-kado] die, Substantiv, feminin 😏 . Hexhex die Achte. ♾️ . . Avocados sind heutzutage aus der gesunden Küche nicht mehr wegzudenken. Trotz ihres hohen Fettgehalts sind sie sehr nahrhaft und enthalten gesunde ungesättigte Fettsäuren, die sich positiv auf den Körper auswirken können. Diese ungesättigten Fettsäuren sind bekannt dafür, den Appetit zu zügeln und ein langanhaltendes Sättigungsgefühl zu vermitteln. . Aber auch ich als Avocado-Esser habe meine Bedenken. Die Avocadoproduktion erfordert eine enorme Menge an Wasser. Für ein Kilo Avocados werden rund 1000 Liter Wasser benötigt. In Anbetracht des weltweiten Wassermangels fällt es mir schwer, diese Frucht bedenkenlos zu genießen. . Aus diesem Grund versuche ich, Avocados so selten wie möglich zu essen. Doch wenn die Lust mal da ist, kaufe ich diese direkt beim Bauern über @crowd_farming . Hier gibt es keine Zwischenhändler, die den Preis hochtreiben oder unnötig Ressourcen verschwenden. Außerdem vermeidet man so den Einsatz von Plastikverpackungen, da die Avocados in umweltfreundlicher und kompostierbarer Verpackung geliefert werden. . Es ist wichtig, bewusst mit unserer Umwelt umzugehen und sich Gedanken über den ökologischen Fußabdruck unserer Lebensmittel zu machen. So können wir auch weiterhin den Genuss von Avocados und anderen gesunden Lebensmitteln ohne schlechtes Gewissen genießen. . .

The United Nations warned that every year more than 400 million tons of plastic waste is produced in the world, of which only 9 percent is recycled. 79 percent of waste generated from plastic accumulates in landfills or in the environment, while only 9 percent is recycled, and 12 percent is incinerated. And 13 million of plastic waste is thrown into the oceans every year. If current consumption patterns and waste management practices continue, then by 2050 there will be around 12 billion tons of plastic litter in landfills and the environment. Despite many countries banning its use, every year an estimated 5 billion plastic bags, which means almost 10 million plastic bags every minute, are consumed across the globe. Controlling plastic waste needs a global approach, and doesn’t just involve promoting plastic waste recycling, although this is an important part of the control. Product design, plastic chemistry and consumer use all also must be addressed throughout the world. 🔻 https://theecofairy.com/blogs/news/only-9-of-the-worlds-plastic-is-recycled #outdoor #naturetime #connectmoretonature #nature #naturelover #protectnature #fightclimatechange #climatechange #savetheearth #ecoliving #ecodesign #ecological #sustainableliving #sustainable #naturefriendly #ecofriendly #environmentalfriendly #reusable #reusableproduct #buysustainably #reduceimpact #reducecost #reducewaste #reduce #reuse #recycle #buylonglasting #buybetterquality #reduceplastic #theecofairy

I started making some of my own clothes from natural fibres last year, and it made me happy for so many reasons. A particular favourite was the apron I designed using elements of several other examples, so I’m making another in some lovely gingham linen. This is all part of me breaking up with Fast Fashion, cos it sucks big time. Australians discard an average of 23kg of textiles per person, per year, which contributes to the massive issue around fashion waste. Aside from clothing that just ends up in landfill (giving it to op-shops ≠ a circular system unless that’s where you buy your clothes too), there’s also the issue of synthetic clothing shedding microplastics into our waterways every time we wash them. And then there’s the human cost involved in mass-produced fast fashion: if you buy a top that costs just a few bucks, I’m sad to say that it’s almost guaranteed there was at least person involved in its creation who wasn’t being paid a living wage. There’s so much to talk about in this space, but the long and short of where I’m at now is: I’m having a crack at making some clothes from natural fibre materials. I figured, people have handsewed clothes for centuries, many without much training, so it’s likely less tricky than I first imagined. I sewed 3 dresses and two aprons last year, and the realisation I came to through the process was that sewing really *is* much easier than I ever thought. Basically it’s just making tubes of fabric and then sewing them together with a series of simple running stitches. If you’re gonna make a pledge to live more sustainably in 2024, maybe it could be something to do with breaking up with Fast Fashion. ♥️ Permaculture Principle 1: Observe and interact 2: Catch and store energy 3: Obtain a yield; 6: Produce no waste 8: Integrate rather than segregate 10: Use and value diversity; 11: Use edges and value the marginal 12: Creatively use & respond to change #RentalPermaculture #AttainablySustainable #Permaculture #PermaculturePrinciples #SlowFashion #MeMade #HandMadeClothing #FastFashionSucks #ReduceWaste #WarOnWaste #FrugalLiving #NannaSkills #TraditionalSkills #TheUrbanNanna #UrbanNanna #TraditionalMethodsMadeModern

“Love and support is not always visible but is surely there when a girl needs it” It was important to try and fit as much love onto these very precious socks as possible, and I’m delighted that the above is how my design has been interpreted. It’s very special to be able to work on garments that are so much more than they seem- they’re memories, connections to loved ones, comfort, care for the next generation. . These socks had worn through to some fairly thick elastic, which made them absolutely perfect for swiss darning! . . . #visiblecreativemending #visiblemending #swissdarning #repair #creativemending #makdoandmend #lovedclotheslast #hearts #designermaker #mending #mendingmatters #createmakeshare #reducewaste #sustainableclothing #slowfashion #sustainabletextiles #fixitdontditchit #betterfortheplanet #duplicatestitch #heartpattern #designledmending #repairdontreplace #knitwearrepair #sockrepair #beforeandafter #beforeafter
