Do you find your kitchen with many plastic dinner sets for your little ones?

They all eventually get part of landfill and results in even more harm to the environment, and oceans damaging the marine life, harming them and potentially killing them off.

A fantastic solution to all the plastic baby - kid dinnerware is Bamboo! 🎍

Bamboo is a renewable alternative that has the added benefit of being 100% biodegradable, naturally sustainable, anti-microbial, anti-fungal, harvested with no pesticides, eco-friendly.

This 3 piece first dinner set for your baby is made from Mao Bamboo and features a yellow, pink or mint silicone suction ring for a sturdy mealtime. .

𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐒 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐄𝐓 💚🌏 It's Monday, time to sparkle & shine ✨

Today’s tip for our #changesfortheplanet for 2020 is about taking 💧Shorter Showers 🚿

Use less water and keep the temperature down low as a lot of energy goes into getting water to your house, and heating requires a lot more.

Reducing the amount of energy used in the pumping of water reduces our carbon emissions, which contributes to greenhouse gases, and leads to climate change. .
🌿Time Your Showers. This can be as simple as setting an alarm on your phone for five or 10 minutes to let you know it's time to leave the shower
🌿Or use an Egg Timer
🌿Create a Shower Playlist
🌿Stick to a Routine (I find that I’m in and out of the shower much more quickly when I do everything in the same order each time)

Choosing natural, ethical fibres has so many great advantages 🧶🌏 .
So much new clothing these days is made from synthetic materials with names like: polyester, acrylic, lycra, spandex, nylon. In other words, plastic fabric. And all synthetic fabrics create microfiber pollution when laundered. .
When buying new clothes, look for natural fibres such as hemp, organic cotton, ethically-raised wool, and other natural fibers. 🧵

Do you know how long does it take for plastic toothbrushes to decompose?
It is crazy to think thats plastic toothbrushes take over 400 years to decompose! ♨️
.
They remain in landfills indefinitely and as they settle into the landfill, they release chemicals into the air. This results in even more damage to the environment, as they end up in our oceans and washed up on our beaches or consumed by marine life, harming them and potentially killing them off.

Plastic toothbrushes are A THING OF THE PAST🕰

Swap out the Gladwrap for beeswax wraps or containers.

Gladwrap and plastic bags are non-biodegradable, use crude oil and natural gas to manufacture.
By using good quality reusable wraps, you’re not only reducing the amount of non-renewable resources necessary to produce gladwrap and plastic bags, but you’re also reducing the amount waste going to landfill. 🌏

🌿 𝐃𝐄𝐂𝐋𝐔𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑

January is the month of decluttering at the Village. It is a great restart to achieve a more minimal, less waste & sustainable living.

If you're wondering why decluttering is sustainable, it's because the promise of maintaining a more minimalist lifestyle, commitment to stepping off of the consumer bandwagon and deciding not to participate in the harmful cycle of buying stuff that eventually ends up in the landfill is a great way to help 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐭 💚🌏 .
🌿 Less to clean
🌿 Less to organise
🌿 Less stress .
Shopping mindfully with conscious companies is great commitment for 2020.
