Benefits of Reusable Shopping Bag
Single-use of plastics or non-reusable plastic bags has caused enough exposure for inescapable pollution problems for decades on our planet. As time passes more and more people have begun to understand the serious threat of using non-biodegradable plastic bags and have cut down the use of the same. As plastic is made from extracts of natural minerals and crude oil, it can not be disposed of completely from our natural habitat and lacks recyclability. They take many years to decompose causing additional contamination to the world’s well-being. On the other hand, the use of reusable bags can help in avoiding recycling problems, are easily disposed of, and are biodegradable in nature.

Did You Know That Your Morning Coffee Can Help Save The Planet?

Sustainability, completeness of concepts, and Glasgow
Sustainability. CO2 emissions reduction and CO2 removal are of utmost importance and absolutely necessary.

How to Start Composting With a DIY Bin
I have been wanting to start a compost bin for years, but I wasn't sure if it was realistic since I have a shared backyard. I was under the impression that I needed a lot of space, and I was scared to try because I knew I would fail at some aspect of it. Finally, after reading the tips offered by successful gardeners on the internet, I decided to just go for it and figure it out along the way. I ended up creating a DIY bin for free, and it is one of the best decisions I have ever made!

Use Less Plastic
According to unep.org, around 300 million tons of plastic waste is produced each year, and that around 60% of that plastic waste has either entered the natural environment or a landfill due to it being disposed of improperly. According to em-solutions.co.uk, 50% of plastic materials are single-use, meaning that after one time this harmful plastic already gets thrown away instead of being reused. However, the usage of this much plastic has dire consequences that could compromise the safety of our planet. The usage of plastic contributes greatly to the growing issue of climate change, and by slowing down the usage of plastic we can help prevent climate change from making our planet irreversibly doomed.

Conscious Gift guide
Mother Nature, Gaia, planet Earth - home we all share. Energetically speaking it is a feminine aspect of creation, she supports us all, she gives birth, she sustains and nourishes. And more often than not we take it for granted. Last couple of years , albeit challenging in many ways, also had many silver linings attached to them. They illuminated few important themes, serving as a catalyst for many to dig deep and find out their true values. As we were pushed to be less connected to each other and Nature, many started to appreciate all those things we used to take for granted. Additionally, as we faced something totally unprecedented - our resilience was tested and many of us started to take our health and well-being more seriously. You can say that what is emerging for many as a result of the events of the last two years, is a more conscious approach to life, more holistic view of oneself, as well as the interconnectedness of all things on this planet.

Growing up on Earth
The year is 2050. Your daughter is 37 years of age and just became a mom herself. Earth has been depleted of almost all its fossil fuels. Oil, a fossil fuel used to power our vehicles, machinery, ships, industries, airplanes and all else that allowed a comfortable life during the past century has been completely or nearly all used up. The mom and the baby struggle to survive. Days are cold. Nights are long. There is little hope in sight.
