Kudos To Walmart For Starting The Change To Save Our Environment.
Is Walmart starting a new trend? Hopefully. After doing research on the subject for a recent challenge and learning that plastic bags can take up to 40 years, or in excess of a hundred years depending on their make-up, I was rather excited the other day when I saw a tweet indicating that Walmart would be going bagless by July 1st, 2021. This, unfortunately, was not entirely true. I would however like to commend Walmart on their stance and what would appear to be their commitment to being part of the solution.

Recycle. Repair. Reuse. Grab your Fiskars scissors & have some upcycle fun!. Top Story - June 2021.
I have lots of tops, dresses and cushions with former lives as curtains, tablecloths and duvet covers. I love a visit to the local charity shop/thrift store followed by an evening armed with my dressmaking scissors (Fiskars are the best!), measuring tape and sewing machine to give a discarded garment a new lease of life. I find the creative process relaxing and therapeutic and it brings me happiness and joy knowing that I have contributed to the charity and helped the fabric avoid landfill that bit longer.

Crisp Packet Project
It was back in November 2019 when I woke up in a green crisp packet.... I had been volunteers for a lovely out reach charity Surviving the streets Uk. We were allways running out of sleeping bags/ Bivi bags . The last two months I had been racking my brains on how I could help as Sts Uk was self funded.

Four Ways to Make Your Menstrual Cycle More Eco-Friendly
A woman’s menstrual cycle is a time of deep connection. She is rooted in connection to the ebbs and flows of her body and the universe. But after years of stigma, shame & misinformation - we’re more removed from it than ever before. And modern “hygiene” products take a time that’s traditionally sacred and turn it into a creator of massive waste and toxic chemicals.

How much time Does it Take to Install Solar Panels Sydney with AYKA Solar?
The entire process for installing solar panels Sydney and getting them approved isn’t an overnight process. Each procedure takes time. The time for each process varies depending on the suburb you live in, your solar company Sydney, the solar panels you choose according to your requirements, and how many other people are installing solar panels. These are the steps for a solar system Sydney installation and approximately how long each step could take:

Outlet, In.
When people ask, 'what do you do?', It often generates this default response of a job they don't really enjoy. It's a sad thing really, when you ask someone this question, hoping to see their eyes light up with excitement and feel their energy pick up, and all you get is a reluctant, bland, unintrigued, rehearsed, and oppressed response.

NEW ORLEANS DESIGNERS COLLABORATE FOR ZERO WASTE JEWELRY LINE
Slow fashion is on the rise Ultra-fast fashion may be on the rise, but so is the slow-fashion movement if you look for it. My mission in life is to improve the world I live in, and because of my love for design, I have chosen to do this through fashion. I do acknowledge that this is a small step toward tackling the larger challenges we face as a global society, but I believe that by supporting the work of leaders within the communities I collaborate in, I can do my part in helping build a more equitable future, where everyone is treated with respect, including our planet.
