Throwback to @berichmonduk ‘s River Thames paddle boarding litter pick event! The one towards the front looking to the left with a topknot is me 🤣 - - It’s hard to fully conceptualise just how much rubbish is polluting our environment until you see it first hand; we found shopping trolleys, tents, shoes, and many many plastic food wrappers and bags. Although we know what these things are, to unsuspecting wildlife they are potentially food, and how can they know what harm they can cause to them? I have seen a stat stating 90% of seabirds have plastic in their bodies, and now I can fully see how. - - As the planet heats up and the effects of our impact show more and more, the only things we can do on an individual level are campaign, consider changes and act on these. Community events like this are an amazing way to raise awareness amongst your peers and also learn things ourselves along the way 🙆‍♀️ Have you done any beach/ river clean ups? Tell me more! (photo creds @berichmonduk )

GIVEAWAY!!! - - Recently @zebra.woo.lifestyle sent me this pack of 4 x amazing bamboo toothbrushes and charcoal floss (thank you so much!). I have enough toothbrushes to last me a year, so this is a gift to you! I love how each handle has a little stamped logo so it can be used for a whole family. The floss isn’t fully biodegradable, but I’ve struggled with floss that isn’t silk, and I figure it’s more waste to end up needing a filling at the dentist ! All you need to do to enter is: - - Like this photo and comment below what is your most useful eco item! #giveaway (ends next Thursday 16th at 20:00 GMT 😉 only open for UK and EU I’m afraid, purely because of the extra airmiles for anywhere else, sorry 😭) - - ALSO; I have a 20% discount code on their products for the first ten people who message me the word ZEBRA- valid until the end of August! 😘😘

How did we get here? Something so beautiful has become our disposal site, causing harm to the ecosystem, marine life as well as ourselves (water pollution kills around 10,000 people globally every day). For a species supposedly the most intelligent, we seem to have missed the first most basic step; avoiding self-destruction. How far we have come from our natural state, and maybe that’s where the problem lies. We are encased in bubbles of concrete away from the natural earth, and our connection has been broken. If only we spent more time within nature to appreciate that without it, we will lose the biggest part of our selves and our humanity. How can we keep going without our home and those we share it with? I am angered by our grass is greener attitude, that we will bin this planet and retreat to Mars, completely dissolving ourselves of the responsibility to this planet and our actions. For the most intelligent species, we really are stupid.

Wandered into my Dad’s bathroom the other day and saw these- he seems to have got into the habit of buying “eco” things as and when he remembers. It warms my heart when I see how the power of communication can change the opinions of even those you never expected to change. 💗

What I thought was a fail of the day was in fact NOT! @cafe.nero seem to now be using paper straws?? 🙆‍♀️🙆‍♀️ ... 🤞🌏

Spotted on my walk yesterday- a little sign of hope (..!); another walker picking up those dreaded beer can rings 🧐 or at least not just littering them in the park! (there were no bins for a while around this spot so I excuse them for not putting it in a proper bin). I see little glimmers of hope here and there as public opinion slowly changes towards plastic... My only worry is, is it too little too late?
