Climate change: Why and how should we protect our ecosystems?

*Collaborative Post

Biodiversity needs to be protected. The benefits natural species bring to society are vast: they essentially provide us with everything we need, including food, air, and fresh water.

But natural environments and their inhabitants are in jeopardy. As of 2022, around 14% of ground-dwelling species face a high risk of extinction. And if temperatures continue to increase, the risk of extinction could double.

We’ve outlined a few of the causes and consequences of rising temperatures below and how we should protect our ecosystems.

Who Gives a Crap Recycled Toilet Paper Review

*Affiliate Links

When we first started to make eco-swaps within our home one area that I knew we needed to make big changes in was the bathroom. With products coming in plastic bottles, plastic tubes, and single-use plastics used for wrapping, it was an environmental nightmare. And so I began my research into more eco-friendly items, how to reduce our plastic use and how to choose more sustainable products. Once you begin to learn what is available, it feels so simple and with more and more ethical and eco products being developed making these swaps has never been easier. One such simple swap was our move to plastic-free, recycled toilet paper. It sounds so basic, doesn’t it? But choosing to regularly avoid plastic and virgin materials can have such a big positive impact on our environment and switching to Who Gives a Crap toilet paper allows you to be more sustainable, effortlessly. Having now been using this brand for the last 4 years I thought it was about time that I gave you an honest Who Gives a Crap review.

Going Green with Beauty

*Collaborative Post

It might not seem like a bottle of foundation or a monthly hair-dying session could do any lasting damage to our environment, but it turns out that beauty, like most other industries, is affecting the natural world in a negative way.

This is because we have shifted away from all-natural products to chemically enhanced, packaged products that not only wreak havoc on our skin but also leave a carbon footprint that we all must take into account. A greener ritual doesn’t have to mean a huge overhaul; by simply buying environmentally conscious products and vegan alternatives you can be making your first steps towards a greener beauty routine.
