It's DID YOU KNOW Day... This week we talk about waste water cleansing. By using a microfiber-catching wash bag. An average of 9 million microfibers are released into wastewater treatment plants every time we launder garments made of synthetic fabrics. Most laundry machines do not have a microfiber filter and wastewater treatment plants have a hard time filtering them, meaning most of the time they end up in the ocean, in fish, and eventually, in humans. #microfibers #wastewater #didyouknow

It's DID YOU KNOW DAY...

Today we talk about food storage. Our daily activity has a huge impact on our environment. By utilizing plastic-free food storage containers, you can make a significant difference in waste. Examples of eco-friendly food storages are silicone sandwich bags and beeswax wraps can replace the need for single-use plastic wrap, which is very difficult to recycle and is made of harmful chemicals.

It's DID YOU KNOW DAY... This week we're talking about take out. Everyone has ordered take-away meals at some point in their life, however a lot of us don't think about the impact it has on environment. Plastic and styrofoam take-away containers dominate ocean plastic waste. Unfortunately, waste is almost unavoidable when ordering take-aways, so it is almost always better to dine in. Consider eating in more often and if you absolutely have to order out, be sure to support the restaurants that utilize sustainable packaging. #dinein #sustainable #noplastic #savetheoceans #cookmore

It's DID YOU KNOW Day... We are encouraging everyone to visit local farmer’s markets, because locally sourced produce travels about 27 times less distance than conventionally sourced produce. By reducing the need to transport and store food, your plate will have a smaller carbon footprint. Local often means organic food cultivated in season rather than industrial-scale agriculture. This practice can not only help save the planet, but help you increase your intake of natural healthy foods. #healthy food #healthy habits #sustainable #sustainable farming #ecofriendly #farmers markets #carbon footprint

Today we talk about how your eating habits can have an affect on the environment. You may consider going meat-free. Studies show that a plant-based diet can reduce food’s carbon footprint by 73%. Adopting a vegan and cruelty-freelifestyle (or even just reducing your meat consumption) reduces energy consumption, supports clean waterways, and reduces the pressure on overfished oceans.

It's DID YOU KNOW Day.... Insulate your home properly. A properly insulated house will help your home stay cool in summer and warm in winter, meaning you won’t have to crank up the heating or air conditioning unit. This doesn’t have to involve a big remodel. Something as simple as adding thermal curtains or draft-stopper to your doors can make a big difference. #insulation #sustainable #weather #homeimprovement

It’s DID YOU KNOW Day…

This week we talk about domestic gardening. Even if you live in a small space you can start a small garden. Perhaps a small herb plant, which can be obtained from a health food market, your local farmer’s market and even the home improvement garden section can be good start. These locations can be a great resource to learn and identify the best herbs and plants to grow at home.

Houseplants not only consume CO2, but can help purify the air by removing harmful chemicals for a healthier, more sustainable home. No matter the space, you can create a healthy environment in your home.

It's DID YOU KNOW Day... Today we talk about laundry and sun power. Have you considered air drying your clothes? Most parts of the world do this as a normal laundry ritual. Not only is hang-drying environmentally friendly, but it will also save you 24 and 72 cents per hour you would otherwise use the dryer, depending on the model. Remember, you can air dry your clothes indoors too if an outside line is not available to you. Happy laundry day and let's keep being green. The earth and the younger generation behind you will thank you for it. #laundrytips #airdry #sunpower #sustainability #earth #ecofriendly
