Hello Readers,
Today's post is about the little changes I am making this
year to be more environmentally friendly. I remember seeing a quote a couple of
months ago and now obviously I can’t find it and this might be a little
off but you get the point (I think).
The world doesn’t
need a few people making a huge difference it needs a lot of people making a
small difference
Which got me thinking that in the New Year I am going to
try to make small changes and hopefully pick up some better habits. I have
compiled a list of my changes and one is a product I was GIFTED.
Menstrual Cup
I must admit that when I saw people starting to be more
open about menstrual cups I was sceptical. I know they aren’t a new thing but
it is a small and easy change that can be made. Now, this is going to get
personal feel free to skip to Finlay Beeswax Wraps. I finally caved and got a
cup at the beginning of October and regret not doing it soon. I’m not going to
lie there is that moment once is boiled and your face to face with it in the
bathroom like okay so this thing is going in and it is going to be comfy okay
then!?! Honestly, you can’t feel it and is so much easy than pads or tampons at
least for me.
Finlay Beeswax Wraps (AD, Gifted)
I was kindly sent this to review and my god have they
been a godsend. Nothing is too much for these wraps from sealing food to
marinate in glass bowls to pack up sandwiches. Also, sorry but clingfilm is a
pain in the ass that stupid I’m going to stick to myself and be impossible.
Once you warm the wrap up in your hands the wraps will =moulds to most things
and easily seals and stays closed. I also love the design is cute who doesn’t
love cartoon bees.
Thermal Cups
Most of us have a thermal cup now the trick is
remembering to take it with you. A couple of places are now taking a little of
the price of your drink in return for taking in a reusable cup. Okay so not
complete eco-friendly to make but there are even a couple being made out of
recycled material or more recyclable materials. I think the fact that more of
us are choosing to use reusable cups shows an effort to reduce our negative
impact on the planet.
Straws
Okay, this one is slightly frowned upon the straws I am
reusing are plastic. The straws I take out are hard plastic ones that I got
with a cocktail making set and my Nightmare Before Christmas tumbler. So still
plastic but reused and washed after each use. So far these have done great and
I am looking into getting a metal replacement at a later date when these are
unusable.
Stop Being Lazy
The older I have got I have gotten a little lazy. Yes, I
run but I have gotten into the bad habit of driving to the corner shop that’s
less than a 20-minute walk away. Like its pure laziness, there’s no excuse so
this is getting cut out, I think I am worse in winter.
REMEMBERING MY BAGS!!!
Okay, this one sounds worse than what it is. The carrier
bag charge came into law on the 5th October 2015 so this one isn’t new at all.
However, I still don’t grab my bags when I go clothes shopping. The weekly shop
I am fully covered all there and ready to go in the trolly. There is just a
little black spot when I go into town for clothes or silly thing, but not when
I buy books. So, this one I am going to boss this year or at least attempt
to.
What changes are you making this year?
