  • Did you know? Americans generate over 4 pounds of waste per person every day, totaling more than 220 million tons of trash each year – a majority of which gets sorted and sent to landfills. With more than 3,500 landfills across the country, these dumps create the second largest source of human-related methane emissions in the country. Unfortunately, that number has continued to grow over time, and methane has the potential to trap heat in the atmosphere 25 times more effectively than carbon dioxide. While some items, like paper towels, may only take a few weeks to decompose, some things we throw away on a regular basis can take an entire lifetime – as well as the lifetime of our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren – to decay. Unfortunately, we are continuing to run out of landfill space in the U.S. You can do your part by minimizing solid waste as much as possible and recycling items that have the potential to be broken down and reused. Alternative options, like cloth diapers, reusable bags, and reusable cups for instance, can save space in our landfills. ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ ⁣ ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ ⁣ ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ #plasticfree #zerowaste #ecofriendly #plasticfreekitchen #sustainability #savetheplanet #sustainable #sustainableliving #recycle #gogreen #eco #environment #plasticpollution #climatechange #vegan #nature #reuse #zerowasteliving #saynotoplastic #plastic #plasticfreeliving #green #handmade #plasticfreeoceans #organic #reducereuserecycle #ocean #greenliving #plasticfreejuly #vertemode
  • Summer’s not cancelled. Regardless of what’s going on in the world, we still have long days, sunshine, and days spent swimming to look forward to (hopefully not at a crowded public pool or beach). It’s hard enough finding a well-fitting option, let alone a good one that’s also better for the environment than traditional options. That’s why we rounded up 15 eco-conscious brands that make flattering, comfortable, well-made swimsuits that won’t trash the water you’re swimming in.

  • Chances are, you’ve been hearing about the problems we face with plastics today. Not only are they made from non-renewable fossil fuels that can leach toxins into our food and water, but they are also being recycled less and less, which means most are ending up in our landfills. 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
