  • Chances are, you’ve been hearing about the problems we face with plastics today.

Luckily, there are many things you can do to avoid bringing plastic into your home to begin with. It's easier to have a plastic-free kitchen than you think. For Plastic free July, we are starting with plastic free kitchen challenge! here are some ideas for curating a plastic free kitchen.

  • This month #vertemodebookclub Recommendation by @aalia_ehsan_qureshi . This changes everything by Naomi Klein. “Right now we’re at 400 ppm, and we’re adding 2 ppm of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere every year. Unless we are able to rapidly turn that around and return to below 350 ppm this century, we risk triggering tipping points and irreversible impacts that could send climate change spinning truly beyond our control. This is not hyperbole. It's not a theory. It's not up for debate. It's science and the odds are against us. After discussing 'the power of keeping our word' Klein turns to 'the power of paying our debts' – how rich nations must help others to improve the lives of their populations through green development, not through burning fossil fuels. And by 'help', what's meant here is meaningful economic assistance. Aid paid for by taxpayers isn't the source Klein has in mind, rather, the corporations extracting from poor countries and funnelling the riches to global elites should pay up, governments should stop subsidising fossil fuels and pay for tech transfer instead and so on. In short, battling climate change means & needs reparations, liberations, decolonisations, and all their implications. This is a must read everyone.” - @aaliaeh ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ ⁣ ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ #climatechangebooks #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #read #bookish #booknerd #bookaddict #bibliophile #booksofinstagram #instabook #vertemodebookclub #booklove #instabooks #booksbooksbooks #literature #readersofinstagram #naomiklein #vertemode #bookclub #climatechange #environmentalist #co2 #thischangeseverything #naomikleinbooks #thischangeseverythingbook

  • As today commemorates the announcement of the abolition of slavery on June 19, 1865 in the state of Texas. What should be a day of celebration and a positive outlook for the future, is marred by the inhumane treatment of black people. We've come so far only to find ourselves catapulted back to a time we thought was left behind. As demonstrators across America continue to fight for justice, there is a lot more work to do and we will continue to use our Verte Mode platform for meaningful and lasting systemic change. #juneteenth #juneteenth2020 #blacklivesmatter #freedomday
