  • 💧 #Refill before you go out or refill while you're out and about. Keeping a reusable bottle/jar in your bag ensures you don't have to forgo the thirst quenches⠀ ⠀ 💧 Scotland has some of the cleanest water in the world! There's no reason we need to be buying bottled water and quite frankly, we feel it's a complete rip off⠀ ⠀ 💧 An estimated 700,000 plastic bottles are littered every single day in the UK (swipe to see just two picked up) ⠀ 💧 Many of these bottles and their lids end up in our waterways leading to the ocean, clogging waterways and ending up in the mouths of aquatic life starving them or choking birds⠀ 💧 A million plastic bottles are bought around the world every minute and the number will jump another 20% by 2021! The demand, equivalent to about 20,000 bottles being bought every second, is driven by an apparently insatiable desire for bottled water and the spread of a western, urbanised “on the go” culture to China and the Asia Pacific region. (The Guardian)⠀ ⠀ 💧 It's not as simple as saying 'just don't drink' while out and about, people want to and need to hydrate for various reasons, no matter where they live. So, make sure you have your reusables with you when you're out. ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ ⠀ #nationalrefillday #reuse #hydrate #societyzero #eco #ecoliving #ecoshop #zerowasteshop #refillyourbottle #noexcuseforsingleuse #sustainability #ecoconscious #bethechange #plasticfree #plasticfreejuly #drinkingwater #choosetorefuse #leavenotrace #lowimpact #lowimpactliving #zerowaste #lesswaste #waronplastics #waronplastic #glasgow #igersglasgow #igersscots

  • ♻️ What do you do with your bamboo toothbrush handles? ⠀ ⠀ ♻️ These beautiful toothbrushes are not only a great size, firmness and shape for cleaning your teeth with but once they're a too soft for your mouth, move onto using them for cleaning round taps etc until the bristles start coming out. At this point, snap the head off or pull the bristles out with a pair of pliers and put these in landfill and you can either compost your handle OR even better, reuse them! I like to use them to name my plants⠀ ⠀ ♻️ We've got the wonderful Truthbrushes back in stock and already received a mass order so be quick if you want to make sure you've got one for yourself. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ • • • • • ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #societyzero #sustainable #sustainability #ecofriendly #scotland #eco #zerowaste #environment #visitscotland #zerodechet #climatechange #zerowastehome #instascotland #scotspirit #recycle #lesswaste #insta_scotland #lowimpact #loves_scotland #reduce #gogreen #lovescotland #igersscotland #ig_scotland #ecoliving #glasgow #bio #livingzerowaste #zerowasteshop #reuse

  • 💚 @givielane have ever so kindly cut and folded around 240 produce bags from secondhand fabric for us to sew at our first sewing bee event next week! 😍 . 💚 The produce bags will be handed out for free to people who can't afford them, never thought about changing their plastic habits and to start a conversation. A massive thank you to @zerowastechef for all of her support and advice on making this happen here and of course to @givielane for the help and support as I've not had as much time as I'd have liked to get this done. Couldn't have done it without you . 💚 We're meeting at @revolverecycle in Rutherglen at 10:30am June 22nd, bring a packed lunch and reusable water bottle with you and let's get sewing! 😍 . . . . . . . . #societyzero #socent #socialenterprise #socialgood #plasticfreeliving #plasticfree #zerowasteliving #zerowasteglasgow #zerowastehome #ilovegla #peoplemakeglasgow #glasgow #scotland #community #communityovercompetition #profitforpurpose #planet #noplanetb #communityempowerment #sewingbee #sewing #action #reducereuserecycle #reuse

  • 💚 Spellcheck clearly hasn't worked after the screenshot of the title 😂👇 . 💚 Men in general are branded with not being as eco-friendly or environmentally aware as women. Should this get in the way of celebrating Fathers Day? Certainly not, let’s instead take the challenge on.⠀ ⠀ 💚 Some of the best dads I’ve met are the ones teaching their children about the environment and exploring the world with them teaching them how to reduce their impact. Even children are the ones teaching their parents about the environment now that the world is becoming more aware too. So, what can we do to celebrate while reducing our impact? Read our newest blog!

  • 🌊 Plastic has been found in the deepest parts of the oceans... . 🌊 From BBC Environment - "An American explorer has found plastic waste on the seafloor while breaking the record for the deepest ever dive. Victor Vescovo descended nearly 11km (seven miles) to the deepest place in the ocean - the Pacific Ocean's Mariana Trench. ... He found sea creatures, but also found a plastic bag and sweet wrappers..." . 🌊 Let's be the generation that makes real change and forces international and national governments to act. We have a voice and are in a privileged position in Scotland to use a democratic voice, let's make the change
