Hi,
Is anyone else attending a strike event today? It's essentially my worst nightmare but I feel so strongly about the issue that I have to at least try.
I didn't attend but am becoming more conscious of my environmental impact and holding myself to higher standards.
This year I learned from Stella McCartney's article on the BBC (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-48908413) that I need to start buying clothes that are 100% natural as the artificial materials like elastane and polyester don't biodegrade well when they're thrown away.
I must confess that I don’t buy ethical clothing, more of a Primarni fan for it’s low cost! However, we do recycle absolutely everything that can be recycled in this house. In fact I took a car load of stuff to the refuse and recycling centre yesterday and one of the employees had my 5 year olds old trike for his little girl. Immediate effect of recycling, One small child made happy (I do hope he wasn’t planning to give it to her for Christmas!).
well done you - i recycle cardboard from work in my wormery - they turn it into nutrient rich compost
