I don't know if Arthur Ashe was talking about eco

I don't know if Arthur Ashe was talking about eco matters here, but it is very applicable!
Sometimes it feels like we have to do ALL. THE. THINGS. Or we might as well do nothing
Sometimes it feels like we cannot make a difference with the little we can do or the time we have.

But you can!
Eco perfection is not what we need, eco messy, eco ish, eco-aware is all good.
Using what you already have is the most Eco-friendly thing you can do.
You don't need to do all the things. Start with what you CAN do, however small it may seem to you. It all adds up.

Did you know that line drying clothes helps them to live longer?
As well as saving money on tumble drying (and the scary amount of CO2) allowing your clothes to line dry is kinder to the fabric, meaning less breaking, fraying, holes and bobbles.

Saving you time on repairs, and money in replacing them. It also means if you no longer want the item it is more likely to be able to find a new home.

Saving some of the around 350,000 tonnes of wearable clothes that go to landfills in the UK each year.

That's a lot of positives don't you think?

It's world oceans day. 12 years ago it was reading

It's world oceans day. 12 years ago it was reading about the "plastic islands" in the Atlantic that sparked the conversation, that lead to the birth of Wikaniko.

Since then we've learnt that it's not only the plastic crisis that involves the ocean, but the oceans can play a key part in the climate crisis too. - Studies show that kelp forests could store 250million tonnes of carbon each year.

And then of course there is the vast range of life that lives under the waves. Our oceans are a vital part of the balance of life on Earth.

At Wikaniko we are proud to support companies that
🐬 Make plastic-free products to help reduce plastic waste
🐠 Use 100% recycled plastic to help deal with the plastic crisis we've already created.
🐳 Give a % of sales or profits to organisations like the marine conservation society.

Still plenty of jobs to be done out in the garden

Still plenty of jobs to be done out in the garden this month to ensure good supply of produce over the next few months.

The weather has been warm and dry for several weeks now so ensure that your veg are getting enough water.

The general rule here is a really good soaking once a week is better than a little sprinkling every day.

Keep on top of weeds. Spending a small amount of time doing this a couple of times a week will prevent them becoming a big problem.

We hope this helps. Don't forget to share some images of veg you are growing.

It's Garden wildlife week
And we have 2 interesting garden facts to share with you -
According to the Wildlife trust. Our UK gardens together are larger than all the nature reserves in the UK combined.
And according to the RHS, 25% of all non-forest or woodland trees are in gardens.

This makes them a super important resource for biodiversity and even climate change.

Gardens in urban areas help to reduce summer temperatures and keep homes cooler. They can also help reduce flooding and help keep homes warmer in winter.

By planting a range of plants (especially natives) you can also help a range of wildlife to thrive.

To find out some easy tips on how to make your garden great for you, wildlife and the planet check out our latest blog at wikaniko.com/blog

What wildlife do you see in your garden?

When we think of the environment, we can get caugh

When we think of the environment, we can get caught up thinking of the world as a whole, as something 'out there' away from us.
We think about rainforests, oceans and polar ice caps, the big things. And when we do this it can feel out of our control.

We forget that environment is "the surroundings or conditions in which a person, animal, or plant lives or operates"

The environment is our home, our garden, our street, village or town. It is where we are. When it feels like we cannot make a difference or when it feels too much. Remember that you can control the environment that you live in. You can do 100s of little (or bigger) things right where you are. And they are all important, they all count and they all send ripples out wider than you know.

So when the world's environment seems too much, think about the environment that is your world. Start there.

Back when we started Wikaniko the problem seemed overwhelming and we knew next to nothing.
But we decided to just start with us. Surely, if we were part of the problem, we could switch things up and become part of the solution.

The task ahead is still overwhelming, but we decided long ago not to let what we Couldn't do stop us from doing what we could.
We would rather be part of the solution however small.

In fact that's why "One step at a time" became our tag line, because it was, and still is, our mantra for how we went about changing things.

And you know what? Working towards something is exciting, and we love helping others feel that too. Working towards something as a community, together, is more exciting still.
Do what you can, from where you are. Because you never know where it might take you.

And if you'd like to become part of our growing, helpful and supportive community, we'd love to have you with us.

Did you know that some conventional, mainstream su

Did you know that some conventional, mainstream sun care products have been banned in places like Hawaii, Key West Florida and Aruba?
Due to what certain ingredients they contain are believed to be doing to Coral Reefs, (we've lost half of them sunce 1950) but also marine life in general.

Ingredients such as oxybenzone, octocrylene, and octinoxate which are used widely as UV filters are being shown to cause the Bleaching of Coral Reefs and causing hormone disruption in marine life at very small concentrations.

They work by being absorbed under the skin and dispersing the UV. As they are absorbed into our bodies ingredients such as oxybenzone can be found in urine. Meaning that even if you are nowhere near the sea you could be contributing to the problem!

And because they have to be absorbed before they are effective it can take 20 minutes before they will offer protection from the sun. Not ideal if you have littles who are straight out into the sun.

Mineral sunscreens sit On the skin so they offer protection straight away. They use biodegradable ingredients so they do not cause harm to coral or marine life.
And fewer if any of the ingredients should be making it into our bloodstream.

If you're protecting yourself from the sun this summer (you are, right?!) then it makes sense to make sure you're protecting aquatic life too.

Another benefit to line drying clothes.
If you have a tricky stain that stain removers or a normal wash haven't quite removed the sun is great a finishing the job.
The sun will also keep whites looking whiter and brighter.
And all for FREEEE!

Don't you just love nature?

Whether it's for something adventurous like canoei

Whether it's for something adventurous like canoeing through the Norfolk Broads, or more relaxing like enjoying an evening in the garden with friends.
Being outside is fun.
Being bitten by biting insects and itching for days afterwards is...less fun.

Biting insects find us through our smell. They pick up on pheromones that we give off. Some of us just seem to smell so good to those mozzies and knats that no picnic or BBQ or walk comes without its itchy price.

A good insect repellent acts like throwing a camouflage net over yourself, effectively making you invisible to bitey bugs.

Bug sprays are usually full of nasty chemicals (like Deet) that may repel the bugs but are no good for our skin or airways either and can often smell so bad they repel everyone else too.

The Lemongrass Repellent from The Solid Bar company is different.

Why do we love it?

Formulated using all-natural ingredients that naturally repel biting insects, it works instantly, is simple and it smells good to people.

👉It protects you for up to 6 hours. (you will need to reapply sooner if you swim or get wet)
👉Is made in the UK,
👉Plastic-free
👉As a solid bar, it is easy to transport with you
👉100% natural
👉And it's Vegan.
👉Comes in a handy cardboard stick for easy application.
👉It's super concentrated so the bar lasts for ages making it great value for money too.

😎Great for staycations or vacations, hiking or relaxing in a hammock under a shady tree...

This repellent has been an essential and much loved part of our summer for years now

This may well become your best summer friend too (next to your sunscreen)

Repels mosquitoes, gnats, midges, sand flies and noseeums!
Fast, simple, effective, natural and Deet free.
