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.

Reducing our plastic waste has been a big focus in our household for a number of years now and steering away from washing up sponges made from plastic fibres was something that we were eager to do as soon as we realised how damaging microplastics are – not just for the waterways and environment but also our own health. I’d tried and liked many of the alternatives that were available including wooden brushes, metal scourers and reusable cloths but there hadn’t yet been an eco dupe of the traditional washing up sponge… Until I discovered the Seep eco sponge scourer. With its natural materials that are kind to the planet, your health and also compostable, these sounded like the perfect solution. We started using them in January 2023 (for transparency the brand asked to work with me to test them out for social media) and we loved them so much that we have become regular customers. So, I thought it was about time I wrote a blog review on these fantastic Seep eco sponges so you can see for yourself just how easy some eco-swaps can be…

TV Shows and Films That Teach Your Children About Environmental Issues

Posted on January 7, 2025January 7, 2025 by Emma Reed

Ok, I’m going to show my age now but when I was a kid my absolute favourite TV show was Captain Planet. Anyone remember that? Oh my, that theme tune! ‘Captain Planet, he’s a hero, gonna take pollution down to zero!’ Anyway, I started to think about what was available now for children to learn about climate change, our environment, pollution and so on. It’s a topic that has clearly been alive for over 30 years and when you begin to look closely at TV shows or films you really do notice how many cover these problems so I thought I’d provide a list of all the ones I’ve either heard of, been told about or researched because it is so important to keep the conversation going and to teach your children about all of our current environmental issues.

How Businesses Can Show Commitment To Sustainability

Posted on December 19, 2024August 31, 2025 by Emma Reed

*Collaborative Post

There’s growing pressure on businesses to demonstrate that they care about the environment. Modern consumers are increasingly less likely to give their money to businesses that show disregard for the natural world, and plus, with governments around the world setting ambitious net-zero targets, any business that doesn’t take their carbon footprint is at risk of being left behind.

Every business knows that they should reduce printing to prevent paper wastage and turn off their lights when they’re not in use. That’s basic energy-saving 101. To really establish themselves as businesses that are good for the environment, companies must show a more robust commitment to sustainability. In this post, we’ll run through a host of tips that businesses can adopt that’ll affirm that they’re not just a business that’s good for the planet, but that they’re businesses of the future.
