My Story
🌱What a weekend! 🌱 First weekend trading in the shop, done! And how much fun it was! Although the shop isn't actually 'officially' open yet, as there's still much to be done, it was so exciting to be in there this weekend meeting lots of you and hearing your excitement about Greener Habits and what's to come ☺️ 🌱 Thank you so much to everyone who stopped by, had a chat, made a purchase or just came to see the dog, it means the world ❤️ 🌱 Btw this is me on the bus yesterday on my way to the shop before opening up for the very first time. On my way in I stopped off to swap some bananas for the baby gate (to stop fur baby from escaping from the stock room), and found the pink stool I'm perched on in the street. Everyday, I actively try my best to make decisions that are best for the planet, like using up what's already available rather than buying new. This includes for Greener Habits too. I painstakingly search for items that are being thrown out, to reuse and repurpose. This has meant making the shop has taken longer than it would have if I just bought new. But I won't budge on my values. Not when so much is at stake. 🌱 There are some things harder to find reused. And for those items I'm buying as ethically made as possible, like the glass food dispensers. To help purchase these products I'm currently crowdfunding. If you share my values, and believe like me we should use up what we already have, and buy ethically when we do need something new, please consider supporting my crowdfunding campaign. Sharing helps so much too. 🌱 Let's help change the world, on Greener Habits at a time 🌱 P.S- yes people think I'm nuts, regularly. Especially when I asked a random stranger to take this pic 🤣 and asked please can you get the baby gate in the shot 😂🤣
The Amazon has been burning for almost 3 weeks, and no one is talking about it. 🤬 This happened either due to agricultural activities or deforestation, which are pretty much the same thing tbh since deforestation occurs to make land clear for agriculture (typically animal agriculture, yes that includes growing soy to feed animals breed for slaughter here in the West!!) 🤬 Tonight I'm angry. I'm angry that this was allowed to happen. I'm angry that this has happened since the people of Brazil elected a 🤬 of a president who accelerated both agriculture activities and deforestation in the Amazon since he was elected. And yes the people knew this would happened, it was something he boasted about doing during his political rallies!!!! One of his selling points if you can believe. 🤬 I'm angry, but my heart is also broken to think of the animals being burnt alive, with no where to escape. Heartbroken thinking of the unique ecosystem being lost. Heartbroken for the Amazonian tribes who are being pushed even further out of their lands, losing their precious homes. I actually weep for them. We all should. 🤬 I try to stay positive as much as I can usually. For the sake of trying to encourage others that change is possible, that we can make the world a better place. 🤬 But tonight, I'm mostly angry and hopeless. My heart is broken. 🤬 The most I can do from here is #prayforamazonia That there will be something left of it 😞
🌱Protesting the s#%t out of London today for animal liberation 🌱 Over 12,000 vegans marched through London today. To show the world we stand together in solidarity in this fight against non human animal abuse, torture, mutilation, exploitation and murder, and that we will not stop. Until all chains are broken. Until every cage is empty. 🌱 Go vegan. It's the right thing to do. And ask yourself, what side of history do you want to be on? 🌱 Oh and meat and dairy farmers, zoo owners, fur industry, leather industry and hunters, we see you. This pics for you. We are coming for you, and we ain't afraid 😉
Breaking all the rules here, posting our final #plasticfreejuly post in August 🤣 The thing is, creating a shop from almost all second hand and dumped materials is taking up literally all of my time. So please forgive me for a lack of content and slowness 🤪 🌱 Here is what should have been week 4's post- This week is all about plastic swaps we can make for on the go. These are items which are quickly becoming my day bag staples. I'm never seen anywhere without my reusable bottle. I use it for water, juice and even smoothies. My cutlery set has my bamboo cutlery, a tea spoon and my bamboo & glass straws to avoid disposable ones on the go. I love my reusable cup for hot drinks, wine and even a cocktail on occasion. And have a grocery bag in the mix is great for last minute purchases of anything from fruit, bread, or even soap bars on the go is a simple yet effective one. 🌱 One thing I always mean to carry, but do often forget is a container for food- either Tupperware or a simple glass jar will do. This is definitely the area I need to solidify that Greener Habit in! Then of course you'll need some form of bag to carry it all around in. A luxury shopper bag works perfectly as they are big and strong, but still lightweight 😁 What are your on the go essentials? Any other ways we can avoid creating waste on the go?
🌱New soap stamp 🌱 I'm probably as excited about this as I was about getting a new shop. Sometimes it's just those little details that really make the difference. Like a soap stamp with precision. Nothing like it 😆 🌱 If you don't think this is that exciting, or that much of a big deal, swipe to see the old soap stamp version 🤣 🌱 Isn't life just so much better with a clearly stamped soap bar in it 😉 🌱
🌱Plastic Free July Week 3 is- Plastic Free Kitchen Swaps! 🌱 Now the kitchen can seem a really daunting place to go plastic free- from sponges full of plastic, to chemical filled plastic coated washing up liquids, it's like going down a rabbit hole. 🌱 But don't worry, we're here to help, and have everything you need available WWW.GREENERHABITS.COM you may need to go plastic free in that kitchen of yours 😆 🌱 Swap washing up liquid for dishwashing soap. Plastic sponges for none sponges and coconut cleaning brushes/scrubbers. Cling film for Vegan Wax Wraps. use unpaper reusable cotton towels instead of kitchen roll (often comes in plastic wrap!) Use old glass jars to store leftover food. These are some of the simple swaps you could make, as the plastic version you are currently using runs out 😁 🌱 Other ways to avoid plastic in your kitchen is to bulk shop for loose food. However this isn't always so easy! As not everywhere has a zero Waste bulk store...yet 😉 🌱 What has been your biggest challenge to go plastic free in the kitchen?
