What a wonderful world we live in.
Every day we marvel at the Earth’s capacity for love and for it’s astonishing beauty. However, recently it has become far more obvious that we need to care for her. Our world is in turmoil and it is our job to help her!
At H+K we have realised how in every day we need to make small changes and large promises in order to safeguard our home, and our future.
As such we have started looking at ways in which we can reduce our impact and work towards a more mindful and compassionate life.
Here are our top focuses to reduce our impact on the planet:
Reusable Coffee Cups- A very say way to reduce your single use plastic use! We love our keep cups, they are so handy and you can really find a beautiful cup that you love! Often cafes even give you a discount for bringing your own cup.
Boomerang Bags (Or at least thats what they call them in Australia!) Reusable Shopping and produce bags- We all have managed to transition away from single use plastic bags when we pop over to our local Tescos. However, how many of us are using reusable produce bags? It can be so easy to plop our tomatoes in one plastic bag, and our bananas in the other, but in reality why do we need to? It’s important to be conscious of the ways in which you can reduce your overall plastic consumption.
Being aware that your shopping can influence the global market- Now this is a big one. Our shopping habit is like a vote, we are using our money to reinforce the practices that we perhaps consciously or unconsciously support. Therefore when you next go to the supermarket look for the things that you wish for there to be more of or perhaps that you believe in. Try and steer clear of plastic wrapped vegetables, or even those that contain too much packaging in general!
We hope you all had a restful Long Weekend, and that this post acts as inspiration for positive change!
Happy Earth Day!
Much Love,
H+K
