  • 🌍 It's Earth Day 2019! Yes, we focus on reducing waste and making zero waste accessible to everyone, but we also talk about the bigger picture - climate change and hope to help people to tackle it in their own way⠀ .⠀ 🌍 The reason so many are now focusing on plastic is because it's a problem we can see right in front of us, it affects our emotions and therefore we respond, it's more difficult to see the problems of climate change when it happens much slower (although it's definitely more noticeable now) and we can't witness it in front of our eyes apart from "lovely weather" and extra rainfall, this is why so many of us have focused on what seems feasible to us⠀ .⠀ 🌍 If we want a planet to live on with less effects of climate change through anthropogenic causation then we need to see what we as communities and individuals can do, which is why we've made 5 small changes most people can make⠀ .⠀ 🌍 Reduce your flying and car journeys, switch to a green energy supplier, speak up and use your vote, change your buying habits (reduce, reuse and repair where possible), lower your food waste where you can, eat as locally as possible to reduce your carbon footprint and lower your meat & dairy consumption #earthday #earthday2019 #noplanetb #xrs #xr #climatechange #environmentalism #environmentalist #extinctionrebellion #environment #sustainableliving #sustainableplanet #sustainability #mitigation #environmentalscience #ecowarrior #ecotools #livingsustainably #oneearth #oneplanet #ourplanet #climatestrike #strikeforce #socent #community

  • 💚 New in and added to the online shop now (link in bio) have included these beautiful lunch bags! They look like the American traditional paper bag lunches we saw in the movies but instead are made using sturdy vegan leather comprised of cellulose and latex completed with a metal popper . 💚 Is it just me who always wanted a paper bag lunch growing up? 😂 They always looked cool in the movies compared to my character lunch boxes . . . . . . #societyzero #socent #socialenterprisescotland #ecowarrior #lunchbag #crueltyfree #reusable #reduce #reuse #recycle #zerowastehome #lesswaste #prepare #lunchprep #vegan #veganleather #zerowastevegan #onlineshopping #zerowasteshopping #glasgow #ilovegla #igersglasgow #igersscots #veganglasgow #zerowaste #plasticfreeoceans #saynotosingleuse
