Category: Eco Living

My eco topics category is my latest addition to my blog. I decided to make changes to my lifestyle in 2018 because I knew we needed to take steps to become more eco-friendly. It began with the change to reusable nappies and wipes and from there I made a promise to continue to try and find other ways to improve our wasteful ways and at the same time offer up tips, advice and hopefully inspire others.

Making these changes has had such a positive impact on us as a family. We are enjoying finding new ways of doing things, we love talking about it with others and we are saving money too! Such a win! Eco topics are now a huge passion of mine and I hope you will enjoy them as much as we are.

Say No To Plastic – Eco-Friendly Alternatives to Artificial Grass

Posted on March 20, 2024October 7, 2024 by Emma Reed

In recent years, artificial (or plastic!) grass has gained popularity by being sold as a “low-maintenance landscaping solution”, however, beneath its green facade lies a host of environmental and wildlife concerns. As awareness has slowly grown about the detrimental effects plastic grass can have, more people are now thinking twice about installing it which in my eyes is great because our plastic problem is big enough, we don’t need to be carpeting our outdoor spaces in the stuff too, so come with me as I delve into the awful truths of artificial grass and share the eco-friendly alternatives that will help to promote biodiversity and environmental health.

Sourcing sustainable clothing has become a big focus for me in the last few years but from research and experience, it isn’t always the easiest thing to achieve or get right. There are many brands out there “claiming” to be more eco-friendly or ethical but when it comes to the crunch, most seem to be simply greenwashing their consumers and so, I have found that the best way to shop sustainably is secondhand.

Thankfully, there are more and more sustainable and ethical brands popping up and offering a wide range of beautifully crafted, timeless, fun and size-inclusive pieces in the lingerie space and I have recently been introduced to one such brand – IDENTITY LINGERIE. I was sent some of their lovely items to try out and review so let’s see what I thought…

Once you start looking into it, the choices just seem to keep coming and honestly, it becomes a fun task that you can almost become obsessed with.
