Why Are Eco-Friendly Products So Expensive?

We’ve all been there (yes, me included when I first started out on my eco journey) and it is a comment I still see a lot on social media platforms when a sustainable product is shown. I get it, it’s a consumerism culture shock but I want to break down why eco-friendly products are so expensive and hopefully turn your mindset around a little, so make sure you stick around to the end…

Preparing For and Going To My Very First Protest!

Finally, I finally got to go to my very first protest. After lockdowns, covid risks, train strikes, bad timings, and more train strikes, I found a protest march that was possible to attend and it just happened to be The Big One! A 4 day long (peaceful) protest held by Extinction Rebellion with other amazing organisations such as Greenpeace, Friends of The Earth, Parents For Future, Fossil Free London and so many more all coming together to demand change and action on climate change and environmental issues from our Government. I went along on the Saturday with my 5-year-old to march for Biodiversity and this is how we prepared for that and how we got on at our first protest.
