P.S. Think about it

Do you reckon you would’ve? One of my idols is a historical figure - Benjamin Lay. He was a vegan back IN THE 1700s!!!! And he was fiercely against slavery, he spoke out against it loudly and forcefully. But I believe one of the reasons he was able to do this was because he was incredibly unique from day one - he was a strange looking fellow with dwarfism and never had any hope of fitting in to ‘normal’ society anyway - without the bounds of belonging he was able to find true morality and speak up for what was right. I hope we don’t have to be dwarfs to speak out against widespread cruelty and immorality in this day and age. Change is scary, most people don't fight the primal instinct to belong. Especially when it is convenient, easy, and beneficial to go along with the majority. It is the uncomfortable and unfortunate truth that MOST people go along with deep ingrained systemic injustice because they've been taught to ignore it, expect it, or simply because it is too dam...

Hey readers! So here's a thing I've started because I'm sick of getting funny looks while I'm carrying a bin bag around my local streets while picking up litter. I've decided to launch this campaign and see if I can encourage other like-minded individuals to join me in fighting the litter problem in their own down time and encourage others to take a second look and normalise volunteering on every day of the week.  Honestly, I absolutely love volunteering and getting out and about to all sorts of landcare events; beach clean ups, weeding events, path care, etc. It's awesome! And you should do it too! Just google local landcare groups and get involved. But you don't need to go to an organised event or join an active group to help the environment, you can do it while you're walking the dog or just hanging out at your local park; no time limits, no specified locations, just you showing you care about all our environments, including streetscapes.  ...

In this new era of eco-conscious and eco-friendly living there is one thing on everyone's mind: PLASTIC.  Single use plastic is one of the worst insults we've thrown on our planet in the last few hundred years, and the problem just seems to be getting worse. Unfortunately, we tend to take convenience (and cheapness) over conscience again and again - but I do believe times are changing; so if you're ready to get on board the green wave it's time to start integrating quick and easy solutions to work towards a zero-waste lifestyle today.  Huge shout-out to one of my favourite affiliates - Biome Eco Stores.
