Summer wouldn’t be complete without the addition of water. Whether that’s beach days, enjoying the paddling pool in the garden, or games with water pistols and water balloons – if you have kids all of these are great ways in which to cool off whilst having some fun! However, the latter is a problem. Disposable water balloons are made from plastic and have an extremely short usage span but a long life span. These will go on to cause litter issues, hazards to wildlife and, if left, they will leach microplastics into the ground. So how can you still have water balloon fun this summer without impacting on the environment? By opting for their new eco alternative – Soppycid Reusable Water Balloons! And as it is #PlasticFreeJuly this is the perfect time to tell you all about them and hopefully get more of you on your reusable journey.

How To Build a Simple Wildlife Pond

Posted on by Emma Reed

If like me, you want to attract a little more wildlife to your garden then one of the best ways of achieving this is by adding a little bit of water. With our climate warming, it is now essential that we all try to provide a habitat for amphibians and water-loving insects, a place for many species to cool off and hydrate and a wildlife pond is the perfect way of ticking all of these off. We built a really simple wildlife pond last year and it is now in constant use by insects, frogs, birds and a hedgehog. Here’s how you can build your own…

Could Landlords Be A More Compassionate Landlord?

Posted on by Emma Reed
*Collaborative Post

People in positions of power have to be compassionate. If they can inform their actions with empathy and feeling, the world will always be a better place.

Despite all the turmoil, landlords need to lead with compassion in their hearts. So, what can they do to promote a sense of goodwill with their tenants? Let’s discuss!
