Yesterday we finally went to @officeworks to drop Yesterday we finally went to @officeworks to drop all the plastic pens and markers that we have been collecting for the past few of years (plus other items). . According to the website Educationmattersmag.com.au "Each year in Australia, over 140 million pens are sold, contributing approximately 700 tonnes of plastic waste to landfill sites across the nation." . Imagine the numbers worldwide, scary 🖊 I am glad there are now ways to at least recycle them. . As my big collection of old working pens has been reduced considerably, I am now starting to think in less wasteful options. I am interested in quality pens which I can refill and find parts. . For whiteboard markers I know a good option in Australia is @_auspen. . What about durable/reusable pens? What's your favourite alternative? . . . #pens #reducewaste #recycling #recycle #recyclable #markers #sustainability #ecoliving #reusing #ecofriendly #writingtools #change #oneplanet #smallchanges #greenliving #avoidplastic

Finally I managed to do something with these old u Finally I managed to do something with these old umbrellas which I have been collecting to avoid sending them to landfill. . Carin from @ploysdesign uses the fabric to create unique upcycled products. I love what they are doing giving these items another chance. . To reduce the postage cost you can remove the fabric from the frame by carefully cutting through the little stitches (photo 2). I ended up sending the whole thing because I was not doing a very good job and I was afraid I could be damaging the fabric. . On top of umbrellas, Carin told me they are happy to take: . ✅ Shower curtains ✅ Rain Jackets ✅ Air Mattresses ✅ Pool inflatables . They are currently giving a voucher if you donate any of these old products 💚 . So if you are in Australia, check @ploysdesign. And let's keep these items out of landfill. .

"Footprint" by nature. I saw this nice rockpool wa "Footprint" by nature. I saw this nice rockpool walking on the beach this morning. It was so beautiful and artistic. When we take the time to stop and appreciate nature there is beauty everywhere. . It reminded me of this quote: “Nature is painting for us, day after day, pictures of infinite beauty.” —John Ruskin . . #nature #naturelovers #lovenature #rockpools #lovequotes #beach #rocks #natureart #naturephotography #photography #artbynature #ocean #stopandappreciate #appreciatingnature #appreciatingnature🌿 #appreciatingnaturesbeauty
Recently I got some fresh bay leaves from the shop Recently I got some fresh bay leaves from the shop where I buy my fruits and veggies (they often give them away 💚), so I spent some time drying them. It is quite easy and the kitchen smells amazing. . I have tried two methods, using the microwave or the oven. In the microwave is very quick (a couple of minutes) but I prefer the oven method. . I wash and pat dried the leaves. Then I arrange them in a tray and bake them using a low temperature (less than 100 °C) until they are dry around 30 min - depending on the temperature. I usually turn the oven off when they are almost done and leave them there with the residual heat to finish the drying process. . These will last a long time. When I can't find fresh bay leaves, I buy them from the bulk shop that way I skip the plastic packaging. . Do you cook with bay leaves? . . #bayleaves #dryingherbs #herbs #freshherbs #leaves #drybayleaves #bulkshopping #zerowaste #reducewaste #sustainability #ecoliving #sustainableliving #choosedifferent #lessplastic #plasticfree #lesspackaging #smallchanges
