We all love to enjoy a day out at the beach, don’t we? But it is incredibly sad and infuriating when images of litter-strewn beaches fill the news after a hot summer’s day. There really is no excuse. Every beach will have a bin somewhere, most beaches also provide toilet facilities and there are often cafes who could provide you with a bin liner if you forget your own. The trouble is, a lot of people just don’t seem to care. They seem to think that it’s somebody else’s job to clean up after them, that this will happen before the tide takes the litter and that they can just simply walk away from it all. This is NOT the case. If you visit a place like the beach, the only person responsible for your mess is YOU. If you are leaving litter on the beach but shocked by images such as The Great Pacific Garbage Patch then you have your priorities all wrong. The damage us humans cause is clear to see and the saddest part is that if we all just cared a little more, we could make a huge difference. “Leave only your footprints” has become a popular quote but how many of you can hand on heart say that this is true of your actions? I get it, the day at the beach can be busy and hectic, kids grab snacks and run off, items get blown away, the tide sneaks up on you and takes some rubbish, you don’t have time to do one final sweep at the end because you are in a rush… These are all things that do happen but also all things that can be easily avoided. Here are my must-have reusables for the beach which will help you to leave no trace behind.

We are all witnessing the negative effects our actions have on our planet and the environment in general. But we can also all give our contribution, by taking care of what kind of food we produce and eat, what we wear and how conscientious we are about this. So, if you are against wearing fur, and you tend to buy clothes made of recycled, natural materials, choosing jewellery shouldn’t be different. Here are some things to bear in mind if you want to get some eco-friendly jewellery.
