24.01.2022 YAY FOR STEPS IN SUSTAINABLE AIR TRAVEL Before COVID-19, aviation was one of the fastest-growing sources of carbon emissions that contribute to the climate crisis. Last month the world's largest all-electric aircraft to fly so far made its first successful 28-minute flight only using $6 worth of electricity, instead of $300 of kerosene (fuel). . The best benefit of all is that if the electricity is generated using renewable options, electric airplanes will create no carbon... emissions at all! . Whilst there are still improvements to be made, including the weight of the batteries, this is a massive achievement for sustainable air travel .

16.01.2022 WORLD'S FIRST VEGAN LEATHER MADE FROM CACTUS Mexican company Desserto created the worlds first vegan, sustainable, and organic leather from Nopal cactus, also known as prickly pear. The founders Adrian and Marte realised that environmental pollution was a serious problem after working in the automotive and fashion industries. . Here's why this material is so sustainable: The cactus they use is very resilient and strong, it can handle low and high temperatures There is ...no need for an irrigation system, it grows with rainwater and earth minerals They only cut the mature leaves of the plant without damaging the cactus itself Cactus plantation lasts for a very long period of time, meaning they only have to plant once to last for 8 years The cactus is native and typical to the region and absorbs CO2 during the night The cactus leaves are dried in the sun for 3 days, so there is no additional energy used in the drying process The ranch is completely organic with zero herbicides or pesticides and zero plastic involved! All remaining organic cactus material is exported and sold nationally in the food industry .. Tag your friends! The world needs to know that there are other options out there!

13.01.2022 HOW DOES COMPOSTING HELP?! A common question we receive is, 'what's the difference between landfill & composting?!' . Composting breaks down food and natural materials so they can be returned to the earth to nourish plants, increase soil health, and reduce methane emissions. . Composting produces Carbon Dioxide (CO2), whilst food sitting in landfill produces Methane gas because it lacks exposure to oxygen. Methane holds 25 x more heat than CO2, which means it does a waaay... better job at heating the planet! YIKES. . This is one of the reasons composting is so important!

09.01.2022 DO YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE?! Something is BIODEGRADABLE when living things, like fungi or bacteria, can break it down. They are made from plant based materials (corn or wheat starch) instead of petroleum. This process also requires certain temperatures (50degrees+) & UV ray exposure for it to effectively break down. Unfortunately, most climates don't provide these conditions so they need to be sent to a facility that properly recycles bio plastics. (check with your local co...uncil) . DEGRADABLE items are essentially plastics that become tinier and tinier pieces of microplastic faster. This can be even worse for the environment than standard plastic as it poses threats to marine life & is harder to clean up. To make it break down faster chemicals are added during the production process. Microplastics are ingested by smaller organisms at the bottom of the food chain and slowly work their way up through the natural cycle of life. . Long story short: REUSE, REUSE & REUSE ITEMS! Steer clear of Degradable & if you choose a biodegradable item please take care and do your research based on where you live to find out how to dispose of it properly so it doesn't end up in landfill. In landfill both of these options will break down without oxygen and produce harmful methane gas. . Was this helpful? Tag a friend who would be interested .
