We are back today visiting Canadian eco-hero Vivi of @wandering_wild_home, who's feed is a constant source of eco inspiration and home to many amazing zero-waste recipes.
If you’re wondering if you should get a pack of paper straws, a collapsible straw you can attach on your key ring or steel straws look no further, we’ve got the answers! We’ll be covering each straw type, the positives and negatives and where you can find some of our favourite options.
As a return to our zero-waste hero series, we have non other than @stacysullivan_joining us for an interview. We have been following Stacy for a while and have loved watching her audience grow.
Being more sustainable can be a real struggle. There’s a ton of contradictory and misinformation out there, add to that the impossible task of avoiding everyday materials like plastic and common polluting practices like your morning drive to work and it can leave you feeling flustered and abandoning hope!
When we decided to make wax wraps, we tested quite a few samples looking for the perfect combination of size, cotton type, coating and durability. It was during this testing phase that we decided to add jojoba oil to the wax to improve stickiness and reduce the amount of time we had to spend "pre-warming" the wraps before use; one of those times when having a chemist in the Soseas family can come in useful! Eventually, we settled on the product we have today—a pack of three in a variety of sizes with all three wraps larger than most those currently available, made with organic cotton, and a proprietary coating of wax, jojoba oil and resin.
Summer is here, and that means one thing, well one thing other than unseasonal rain (thanks global warming) - we are of course talking about festival season!
A time for music and memories, getting muddy with your mates and rationing toilet paper. But it’s not all good vibes, one of the biggest headliners at music festivals is waste.
Not all plastics are evil, some plastics like those used in medical devices can be life saving, half of modern day cars are made from plastics clearly then if it wasn’t for plastics the world would be a very different place.
The challenge of what to do with waste plastics is growing in importance with each passing day. Of the vast majority of the 300 million tonnes of plastic produced each year, only a small percentage (often as little as 10) gets recycled, and even then recycling is not the permanent solution consumers often mistake it to be.
The bathroom is rife with single-use plastic. Pretty much every ritual associated with washing, brushing, cleaning and the loo involves some sort of plastic, waste, or the use of a potentially toxic product! Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be this way. There are now more sustainable alternatives to everything you need in your bathroom.
We're 4 interviews into our zero-waste hero series and we have gained some amazing insight from amazing champions of sustainability, to check out the interviews we've done so farclick here.
For our fourth interview we spoke toElsa a Sustainability masters graduate and content creator based in Birmingham.
The new year is here and with that comes the age old practice of new years resolutions and whilst many start with good intentions as soon as February rolls round that gym membership becomes unloved and those healthy smoothies become fewer and farther between.
