For plastic straws, cotton buds and stirrers. Tod

For plastic straws, cotton buds and stirrers. Today in England a ban comes into force stopping businesses handing out or selling plastic straws and stirrers to customers (except where plastic straws are required due to disability.)

Around 4.7 billion plastic straws, 1.8 billion plastic-stemmed cotton buds and 316 million plastic stirrers are used in England each year, officials estimate.

There are arguments that this is just the tip of the iceberg that is single use plastic, but it is at least a step in the right direction.

A week ago it was summer and now I'm reaching for

A week ago it was summer and now I'm reaching for the jumpers, welly boots and throws. Autumn has arrived! And with that the heating invariably starts going on.
We've probably all heard that turning your heating down 1degree is helpful for the climate. But 1degree seems so little, can it really make a difference?

I had a quick look into it this morning, and it seems according to the energy saving trust that turning your thermostat down 1degree can save around 310kg of Co2! (also £60 if that's of interest). *
Then I was curious, what does 310kg mean in terms of trees...It seems that a 10year old tree can absorb around 22kg of Co2 a year*
This means that turning your thermostat down 1degree (C) can save the work of about 14 trees!
🌳🌳🌳

*Now these figures are an average and depend on things like size of home, efficiency of thermostats, type of tree, and my own dubious maths skills! But if this is even half right, my mind is officially blown.

This is our boardroom. Everyday after lunch we go

This is our boardroom. Everyday after lunch we go for a walk, just round the lanes from the farm where we're based.
we feel it definitely sets us up for a productive afternoon, but its also where we talk the most, we plan and come up with ideas, we bounce those ideas around and mastermind.
We also breathe, appreciate and recalibrate. I love our boardroom.
(Picture from spring because today it's yuck and I'm wet!!)

Can't repeat this enough. It's not about being pe

Can't repeat this enough.
It's not about being perfect. (Nobody's perfect)
It's not about all or nothing. (There's always room in the middle)
It IS about change
It IS about growth
It IS about trying and succeeding and failing and trying again.
It IS about treating the world how you would want to be treated.
It IS about voting with your ££ and supporting the companies, businesses and people who are doing their best to treat people and the world fairly, who are learning and growing and implementing.
It IS about all of us doing what we can
It's TIME.

Part 2 in Our series on simple things you can do to help the planet, and be part of the solution. This one is a (hopefully) simple one time switch, which means once done, you're helping the planet without any extra effort on your part! Always a win 🙂

Tip 2. Change energy supplier to a Green energy company.
Which basically means your energy supplier is generating their electricity (and sometimes gas) from sustainable sources, such as Wind, Solar and Water. Instead of one who generates energy using fossil fuels like coal.

Whilst they are arguably an imperfect solution they are better for the environment than the alternatives.
We recommend that you do your own research into who you'd like to switch to, but here are a few of the choices

-- Ecotricity
-- Octopus Energy
-- Blub
-- Good energy
-- Green Energy UK

For more information on this and other tips for simple eco switches, please check out our blog. Link in bio.

It would be the Third biggest emitter of carbon af

It would be the Third biggest emitter of carbon after China and the US.
This is one of the best things you can do for the environment, without even talking about going vegan. Help reduce food waste.
Ways to do this -

🍂Plan meals in advance. Then you can buy exactly what you need.

🍂Don't make too much. This can be a tricky balance, but getting portion sizes right saves calories too!

🍂Use leftovers

🍂Batch cook. This one I struggle with, but so many people swear by it.

🍂Know the difference between best before and use by dates, generally when something reaches its best before it's not at its freshest anymore and can still be eaten (obviously apply common sense here - if it wasn't furry before, best not eat it)

🍂Gift away food that you're not going to eat in time, or left overs.

🍂Grow some of your own food. Now I'm putting the effort into growing it I'm even more loath to let any go to waste 😂

A great way to help save you money as well as the planet.

For more details on ways you can help cut food waste, see link in bio.

Did you watch the David Attenbrough program Extinc

Did you watch the David Attenbrough program Extinct the other night? Since that's been on I've noticed a few different conversations going on.
There seems to be 3 main groups
1. The - Its terrible, but I don't know what I can do group.
2. The - We're all doomed so why bother group, and
3. The - This is terrible we must do all we can group.

It's probably safe to say that at points we flirt emotionally with all 3 groups. But I honestly believe - rightly or wrongly- that now is the time we all need to be heading to group 3.
Now more than ever, we need to be straightening our spines, digging our heels in and standing strong.

Saying NO.

Voting with our actions, voices and money for the kind of world we want to live in.
Now is the time to dig deep and fight* for ourselves and our planet.
It's time to unite. To be strong.

We all caused this mess, by saying yes to the "convenience", to the "low cost" to the "new new new" without ever asking or thinking about the real costs.
It's clean up time.

We don't pretend to have all the answers, we also know that no-one is can really do this perfectly. But it doesn't need a few people doing it perfectly, everyone trying however imperfectly is amazing. We need to try, nake mistakes and try again. Together. Learn and do better together.

To the group 1's there's loads you can do and we're going to be bringing you tips and simple things that will help start you off. Simple, but effective.
Put your war paint on peeps. We've got work to do.

*please note, not endorsing or condoning violence. Peaceful all the way me!

We were a little naughty yesterday and let our girls stay up a bit later for a school night, the weather was so amazing, after dinner we just couldn't resist the beach.
And to be honest after a hot and hectic day of school & work getting out and connecting with nature was exactly what we all needed.
The sky was amazing, the sea was chilly there were birds galore and even a seal. We played with the waves, and hunted for shells.
And I think everyone slept just a little more soundly.
