Sustainability is, at its most basic, the capacity for Earth’s biosphere and humankind to co-exist. Or, the way that I explain it to our children: sustainability is the idea that our choices should take into account future generations. This is a broad subject that encompasses many areas (see the previous post about this in more detail here)…
We’ve all heard the word sustainability get thrown around, whether on social media, the news or through speaking with friends. But what actually is it? Is it important? How is it relevant to us and our lives? These are all questions we asked ourselves when starting our sustainability journies, and things we frequently discuss still…
Disposable nappies overnight We love our reusable nappies for the daytime and have used them ever since our little girl was two weeks old. We use them all the time, but we don’t use them overnight once our children are sleeping through. We noticed with both of our children that from about six months old,…
One of the things I truly adore about kids is their ability to see magic in almost anything. Something doesn’t have to be brand new, untouched and in mint condition to be of value to a child, they will love it just as it is, warts and all. I think we often forget that society…
We spent a lot of time trying to work out how to title this post and which companies to include as whilst many companies label themselves as ethical or sustainable, the reality is these can have varying meanings and we don’t want to look like we are greenwashing; we struggle enough with companies doing that…
Now I don’t know about you but when I first heard about sustainable bathroom swaps my mind immediately took me to Tom Hanks in Castaway and a dreadful thought that a similar image was what lay ahead of me should I so much as entertain any of these alternatives; queue unwashed, untamed hair, constantly being…
Deciding to make “the change” and become more sustainable and eco-friendly can seem very overwhelming. What do I need to replace? Where do I need to make changes? How much money, time and effort is it going to involve? Am I capable of making all of these changes? Our answers to these questions are simple,…
When I first started looking into sustainable present giving I was shocked at the price difference. I really wanted to change the way I shopped, not just for myself but also for my family and friends; I wanted to buy as many planet and people-friendly options as possible. I know that the reason sustainable brands…
This is our go-to cleaner that we use for 95% of our household cleaning needs. I keep one bottle downstairs and one upstairs for all our work surfaces, floors, windows, toilets, the bathroom and any other day-to-day spills. It has replaced tonnes of other bottles of bright green and blue liquids full of chemicals that…
When I stopped and looked at my idea of the perfect children’s party – brightly coloured balloons, brightly coloured themed wrapping paper, a themed party cake, throw away cups, plates, and table cloth, party bags (can you tell I was a 90’s kids?) – the only sustainable thing that I feel comfortable taking from our…
