  • 💚 Was visiting a good friend today in Leith and came across this pile of cans picked up by artists to create these and it got me thinking about our group litter picks planned for this year and how much people know about what can be recycled after it's been litter picked or not
.
💚 Our waste impact lead Kate AKA @pick_up_three is currently working out how many products we've saved from going to landfill or ending up in the wrong place while also getting our litter picking teams organised. If you have any questions about what can be done with the litter you find, if anything then please don't hesitate to ask. Also if you'd like to join our litter pick up team then please get in touch!

  • 💚 With more and more sustainable options arriving, we’re finally waking up and moving in the right direction, when it comes to plastic. However, one material that is constantly overlooked, is cotton⠀
⠀
💚 You have to reuse cotton 7100 times to make back your carbon footprint compared to 37 times for plastic shopping bags BUT the problem being, plastic is designed as disposable. Where else? Single use cotton wool pads and if you buy these regularly it's an even higher carbon footprint not to mention the plastic bag they come in⠀
⠀
💚 The strain cotton is putting on our planet is considerable. Yes, the blame mainly lies with the fast-fashion industry but those using it for skincare have to take responsibility too.⠀
⠀
💚 The farming of cotton makes a huge impact on the environment, especially when it’s not organically sourced. Chemicals can pollute rivers, damage local wildlife and severely impact our ecosystems. The other damage is the amount of water used to produce conventional cotton⠀
⠀
💚 About one kilogram, the size of a t-shirt, can take more than 20,000 litres of water to make. This water of course, has to come from somewhere and production can cause massive droughts in surrounding areas which can cause a loss in natural habitats for plants, birds, animals and fish not to mention loss of water for the people farming it⠀
⠀
💚 Sourcing 100% organic cotton is the first step to reduce this. Making sure that your product is sustainably sourced and created. When organically certified, it means that the product will have to follow strict guidelines that consider the environment at every step.⠀
⠀
💚 Also make sure you USE your reusables. Carefully consider if you actually need a product before buying and then reuse, reuse, reuse, until it's truly at the end of its life.⠀

  • 💚 Our newest blog is live! (Link in bio)⠀
⠀
💚 Tackling the issues of compostable products and biodegradable in this new age of greenwashing⠀
⠀
💚 Many people get in touch asking if we'll stock biodegradable bin liners and we won't because a) they cost a fortune ⠀
⠀
and b) there is no point whatsoever with the amount of methane in landfills there's no way it would even break down (and into further microplastics/nurdles)⠀

  • 💚 For those of you following #tidysocietyproject this week, we're talking about the bathroom - decluttering and making it more zero waste⠀
⠀
💚 Having changed to a lot of zero waste products, from menstrual products to safety razors to shampoo bars to rid myself of plastic bottles, I've not got much to organise apart from the kids bath toys⠀
⠀
💚 One thing I'm still going through are the mass amounts of bottles of cleansers, wondercreams and samples I was given as a hardcore skin-care-product buyer in the vain hope something would work to help my hormonal skin⠀
⠀
💚 I've recently bought this book second-hand to see if it will help me and it's been really informative so far on just how much what we eat can be used on our skin and works well, if not much better than carcinogenic, nasty chemical filled creams and potions we smother our faces and body in to try look better/younger/spot free/less fatigued⠀
⠀
💚 Have you switched to more natural products for cleaning your skin? Does using soap just work for you?⠀

  • 💚 Our ultimate zero waste and eco-friendly cleaning guide is here! Link in bio⠀
⠀
💚 A number of people asked for our best recipes for cleaning the home after the all purpose spray recipe and apologies it's taken a while to get these to you. We've got a furniture polish recipe being published soon too so keep an eye out for it on our blog⠀
⠀
💚 Save yourself a tonne of money, harm to your health and home by using simple base ingredients that are used for every room in the house, no need for room specific sprays filled with chemicals you can't pronounce⠀
