hello, all :)

I have a bunch of glass candle jars that I want to repurpose. does anyone have any tips for getting all of the leftover wax out? I've already burned them all down as much as possible.

also, I have some pretty frosted glass ones that I thought would be so cute for little flowers, but I don't know how to put holes in the bottoms of the jars for drainage. if anyone has any ideas on how I might go about that please let me know!!

thanks in advance :)

🌎This World Environment Day: A simple truth.

We don't own the Earth.

We're part of it.

Let's cherish, protect, and coexist. 🙏

It’s DID YOU KNOW DAY…

Some people may never admit that they don’t “really” know what zero waste means, or the 5 Rs. No need to feel ashamed, because that’s what this blog is all about-educating. Let’s start with a simple explanation of the 5 Rs.

REFUSE: This means, make a conscious decision to NOT use single-use plastic, plastic grocery bags, plastic razors, coffee cups, etc.

REDUCE: Decrease your consumption. Stop buying new clothes, cut back on how often you do laundry, don’t always upgrade for the latest smartphone. Essentially, minimize your contribution to wasteful purchases.

REUSE: This can be either buying previously worn/use items, renting items, or repairing and repurposing things you already have or inherit.

RECYCLE: This action should be considered ,and utilized when your items can’t be eliminated by the former three in this list.

ROT: Whatever is left use a natural source to reincarnate into new life by composting. The benefits of composting go far beyond just reducing landfill waste. It creates new life in way of organisms, fertilizer, soil and food growth to name a few.

We hope this helps you feel more confident in knowing what zero waste truly means; and, how you can be a integral part of keeping your environment safe and thriving.

Why all living things need clean air to survive?

Clean air is the most important thing for life on Earth 🌎. Humans, animals, and plants all depend on it to stay alive and healthy. Without clean air, it becomes difficult to breathe and living things cannot live long ⛔.

For humans, the oxygen in the air is essential. Every cell in our body needs oxygen to produce energy 💪. Breathing polluted air can cause asthma, lung disease, heart disease, and other health problems 😷. Clean air helps people live longer and stay active.

Animals also need the oxygen in clean air to breathe. Birds, mammals, insects, and aquatic animals all depend on oxygen to survive 🐦🐘🐠. Polluted air can damage their lungs, affect growth, and even reduce their chances of survival. Many animals are sensitive to smoke, fumes, and chemical gases, which can damage entire ecosystems 🌳.

Plants also need clean air. They absorb carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the air for photosynthesis, the process by which food is made 🌱☀️. This process also releases oxygen, which humans and animals need. Air pollution can block sunlight, damage leaves, and slow plant growth 🌫️. Without plants, the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the air can be disrupted, affecting all life.

Vehicles 🚗, factories 🏭, burning waste 🔥, and many other human activities cause air pollution. Protecting the air means planting more trees 🌳, reducing emissions, using clean energy ⚡, and avoiding burning waste.

In short, clean air is life 🌬️❤️. It sustains humans, animals, and plants alike. Protecting it ensures a healthy planet now and in the future 🌏✨.

"The change always comes about mid-August, and it always catches me by surprise. I mean the day when I know that summer is fraying at the edges, that September isn't far off and fall is just over the hill or up the valley." -- Naturalist Hal Borland
