Towards a sustainable growth

Regrowing your spring onion ends is so easy! So often we throw away parts of our vegetables that we can eat or replant. Little moves towards reducing food waste in our homes lead to powerful collective efforts and positive change. plus- how satisfying is it to walk outside and pluck a spring onion from the patio planter or garden?! #growfood #foodsecurity #gardeningtips #sustainability #sustainable #kitchengarden #foodwastereduction #foodwaste #circulareconomy #impactsocial #impactenvironnemental

Embracing a Greener Lifestyle: Small Steps Towards a Sustainable Future" Hey there, eco-warriors and green enthusiasts! 🌱🌍 I've been thinking a lot about how each of us can make a difference in preserving our beautiful planet. It's easy to feel overwhelmed by the enormity of environmental challenges, but I believe that change starts with us, in our daily choices and actions. Small Changes, Big Impact We often underestimate the power of small, consistent steps. Switching to reusable bags, reducing water waste, or even planting a herb garden in your kitchen can start a ripple effect of positive change. Remember, every sustainable choice counts! Conscious Consumerism One of the biggest shifts we can make is in how we shop. Being a conscious consumer means choosing products that are not only good for us but also kind to the environment. It's about supporting businesses that prioritize sustainability and are transparent about their practices. The Joy of Gardening Gardening, whether it's a few potted plants on your balcony or a full-blown vegetable garden, connects us with nature and teaches us patience and care. It's incredibly fulfilling to watch something you've planted grow and thrive. Plus, homegrown herbs and veggies? Absolutely unbeatable in flavor! Community Power Getting involved in local environmental initiatives can amplify our individual efforts. Whether it’s a neighborhood clean-up or a tree-planting event, there’s strength in numbers. Plus, it's a great way to connect with like-minded people in your area. Educate and Inspire Sharing knowledge and experiences is key to spreading awareness. I love learning about eco-friendly tips and tricks from others, and I make sure to pass on what I know. We all have something valuable to share. Closing Thoughts Adopting a greener lifestyle is a journey, not a destination. It's about making better choices every day, learning, and growing along the way. Let's encourage each other and celebrate every small victory in our journey towards sustainability. Together, let's build a brighter, greener future. 💚✨ What are some of the eco-friendly practices you’ve adopted?

TIME TO GET YOUR GARDEN READY?SUSTAINABLE PLANTS TO SOW IN SPRING That hint of warmth has – finally – hit the air. And not just in Jozi. While proper Spring weather may still feel quite a long way away, a few sunny days give us hope. Around now through September is a great time to start planning a sustainable veggie garden and planting something you may not have thought of as incredible for the environment, moss! We've fallen hard for this soft greenie as it does fantastic things for Mother Nature and us. Moss is particularly good at battling air pollution. The pollutants in the rain and the air cling to the moss's surface; while stuck there, bacteria convert them into the plant's biomass. Clever, right? That means having a moss wall nearby can do excellent things for your lungs. Back to growing your own; take advantage of the slow climb in temperature to start with herbs like basil, coriander, rocket, fennel, and parsley and then add in green peppers, celery, green mealies, cherry tomatoes, beetroot, baby marrows, carrots, rhubarb, runner beans, sweetcorn and pumpkins. All these amazing veggies mean a delicious and sustainable summer spread when the season hits. #SkinRenewalSA #RenewalInstitute #sustainability #sustainableliving #greenliving #growyourown #springplanting #summerveg #moss

Earth Day is a special opportunity for people to think consciously about the state of our environment and our role in it. Humans take a toll on the environment almost by definition; here are a few things you can do to minimize that impact: 1. Compost as much as you can. 2. Walk, bike, or take public transportation as much as you can. 3. If you must buy something new, buy the best quality you can afford. 4. If you’re not already vegan, eat one more meal each week that contains no animal products. Any improvements we make in these areas are beneficial to our beautiful earth! #happyearthday #earthday #ecofriendlyinteriors #sustainableinteriors #veganinteriors #ecofriendlydesign #sustainabledesign #vegandesign #ecofriendlyinteriordesign #sustainableinteriordesign #veganinteriordesign #veganfortheplanet #veganorvintage #oneplanet #noplanetb
