After perhaps 5 or 6 years the case of my e-reader After perhaps 5 or 6 years the case of my e-reader started to crack on the side, also parts of the border were loose [forgot to take the before picture πŸ™ˆ] . In literally 10 minutes I managed to fix the problem using old tape for the cracks and superglue for the border. . Changing the default pattern of: "it is broken I have to buy a new one" for "I will try to fix it first" is one simple attitude we can all embrace. . Maybe we won't be able to get it done every time, but some we will. And we can always ask for help. Do you know about @repaircafe? There are +2000 Repair Cafes around the world and you can find a kind volunteer who can give you a hand to repair your stuff. Ask Mr Google for locations near you. . Repairing what we already own save resources and also money. . Have you tried to fix something recently? . #fixit #repairit #giveitago #repair #repaircafe #sustainability #ecoliving #reuse #zerowaste #dyi #greenliving #eco #greenlife #care #oneplanet #saveresources #savemoney
A couple of months ago when we were still in lockd A couple of months ago when we were still in lockdown the library sent me a box with books I had reserved plus some books they sent as a surprise. This one was one of those books. . I had borrowed a book from @leesupercharged some years ago, but it was not so much about recipes, although it had some. . This particular one is about plant based recipes but with a focus on clean eating. Loaded with vegetables in every dish even breakfasts to desserts. . I must say I really enjoyed trying some of the recipes, almost all of them were delicious. Some of the ones I made were: coconut mushrooms, caramelised onion tart, fudgy black bean biscuits, quinoa mushrooms soup, broccoli dip, banana and quinoa cookies, black bean burgers, chai chia breakfast pudding...Still many more recipes to try from this book. . My favorite perhaps was the onion tart - the black bean biscuits were quite amazing too. . I don't own a lot of cooking books because often I end up finding only a handful of recipes that I feel like making, borrowing them from the library is a great way to try it first. This one was a great surprise πŸ’šπŸ˜‰ . Have you read/try any good cooking book recently? . . . #eatmoreplants #cooking #cookingbook #cookbook #cleaneating #plantbaseddiet #recipes #bookreview #vegetarianfood #vegetarianrecipes #veganrecipes #superchargedfood #vegetablespower #meatfreemonday #plantbasedoptions #plantbased #eatmoreveggies #eatmorevegetables #wholefood #cleanfood #inspirationinthekitchen
The sun is shinning outside, so I am roasting som The sun is shinning outside, so I am roasting some veggies 😎😬..πŸ†πŸ₯”πŸ₯•πŸ… When possible I try to turn the oven on during the day, so I can use the energy from the solar panels (I don't own a battery to store it) πŸŒ… . Electric ovens use 1000 to 5000 watts, with an average of 2400 watts on medium-high heat. In terms of cost, an example by canstarblue.com.au (link below): "With an output of 2.3kW,..and if your per-kWh energy rate is 33c, then you can expect to spend up to aboutΒ 76c for an hour of cooking. For five days a week over a year, this could cost nearly $200 to run" . A great way to save energy is to cook serveral dishes in the same session. Sometimes it is as easy as chopping some vegetables and roast them. Leftovers save time and also excess food can also be frozen. . Other ideas to consider when using an oven: βœ… Avoid opening the oven door unnecessarily πŸ‘€ βœ… When possible cut food into small size or portions so it requires less time to cook βœ… Avoid pre-heating the oven if possible. βœ… Turn off the heat early and use the residual heat left - we often do this when baking bread. βœ… Thaw food first. βœ… If you need to get a new oven buy an energy efficient one. . Do you use your oven frequently? .

Other than a quick wipe here and there, I hadn't p Other than a quick wipe here and there, I hadn't properly cleaned my laundry sink in a long time πŸ™Š . Do you know that feeling when you know you have to clean something, but don't have the willingness to do it? Well what I often find out is that it is just my mind telling me stories, like it is too much work Honestly, it took me 10 minutes to clean it. Compared the feeling of "I have to clean that" every time I see it, which I think it is worse πŸ˜• Does anyone relate to this? . Anyway, the real purpose of the post is to mention that all I used to clean it was Bicarb soda. I sprinkled it and used a brush to scrub it. And I finished with a wipe (sometimes I also use vinegar to wipe it, not this time as it looked fine). . No need to use harsh chemicals or special products. . Cleaning naturally: . βœ… Avoids packaging (if like me you buy the ingredients in bulk) βœ… Protects your health. Many of conventional cleaning products have VOCS (volatile organic compounds) which can irritate the eyes, nose and throat, can cause breathing problems etc. βœ… Protects the environment as these toxic chemicals don't end up in our waterways polluting. βœ… Simplifies the number of stuff you use to clean as most natural ingredients are multi-purpose. βœ… Helps us save money. .

First time I receive a package in one of these her First time I receive a package in one of these hero packaging bags. . I really love that they have double strips (you open it following the instructions and you still have a strip and the space to use it again) so they can be reused. . Also they are home-compostable certified. According to the website if the bag ends up in landfill: "products take about 2 years rather than 90 days to break down in landfill. In contrast, traditional plastic shipping mailers take 400 years or more to break down" . Even when these solutions are not perfect, I truly appreciate the effort these companies are putting into providing solutions/alternatives that are kinder on the planet. .
