*Collaborative Post

We all know that our earth is continuously suffering from climate change. However, as mindful customers, we can change our shopping habits which can help us fight against this condition as well as waste.

For instance – you need to be careful about what you are buying, how the product is made, how it impacts the earth, etc. So, when purchasing anything, keep the planet and people in mind. Purchase products that can conserve nature, prevent waste, and save energy. By doing so, you can decrease your negative impact on Earth.

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.

Happy Beaks Garden Bird Essentials Review and Giveaway

*Ad

Attracting more wildlife to our garden has been something that we have been working hard on for the last few years. Owning a reasonably new home, it is common for areas to become nature depleted for a time after construction, yet even though we moved in a few years after the build and added a better lawn, more plants, bushes and even a tree, we still weren’t happy about the lack of wildlife we were attracting here. So, we went a little further. We added a pond made out of a planter, we increased the number of plants, we stopped making the garden “super tidy” and left leaves/twigs on the ground for longer, we started taking part in ‘No Mow May’ and we began to feed the birds – just a little seed at first in bowls and then fat balls in a wooden feeder and then we moved onto mealworms and even built a little wooden house feeder for the smaller bird varieties. Another pond was built, this time a small wildlife one within our flower bed and little by little we saw a change. Our visitors now included more birds, a hedgehog, dragonflies, damselflies, butterflies, hummingbird moths and more. Our garden residents suddenly included a frog and a nesting pair of blackbirds who last year had 3 broods in our tiny garden and who have returned this spring to do it all over again – and we are over the moon. Our garden has finally sprung to life and I am still eager to further increase the wildlife here, and thanks to Happy Beaks, I can now take the next steps. Oh, and if you stay until the end you could be able to as well by entering the giveaway!
