adult politicians: teenagers shouldn’t vote because the part of their brain that deals with prioritizing long-term goals over immediate satisfaction isn’t fully developed

teenagers: please stop destroying the planet

adult politicians: but the planet won’t be unlivable for decades and I want oil money now

Late to the eco-friendly party, but better late than never. I ordered these cute bees wax reusable food wraps for our lunchs. Minions for Seb, space for Rue, snails and jungle animals as extras and there is a set of 3 Marvel superhero ones on their way to us which are for Rhykah. If we make good use of them I’ll get more. 🌱🐝

Why did I decide to use bamboo toothbrushes?

I’m reducing the use of plastic at home

Bamboo handles are naturally antimicrobial and biodegradable

They are as effective as plastic and electric toothbrushes

They are organic while having good quality and design

Plastic toothbrushes are really difficult to recycle

All plastic toothbrushes you ever used are still out there!

I will be trying out these washnuts :)

They are an nontoxic alternative to wash your clothes.

The washnuts are very good for the climate because these washnuts are compostable after you have used them. You can use the washnut about 6 times at 40 degrees celcius. That makes them relatively cheaper than normal washingpowder and better for our earth!

Women use up to 420 tampons/pads per year! These all end up somewhere in our world.. Using a menstrual cup is a friendlier choice for your body and for our climate.

Tips and Pro’s for picking a menstrual cup/using one:

1. I am using the organi cup for a few months now and it is a perfect choice to start with

2. There are a lot of helpfull video’s on youtube that help to pick the perfect cup for you!

3. Make sure to boil your menstrual cup after every use for 5 to 7 minutes

4. Don’t worry that you’ll leak through. You can use your cup for 12 hours a day ;)

5. The menstrual cup keeps your body in balance where as tampons or pads tent to take to much moisture from your body which makes you have a higher chance of having an infection :(

6. Believe it or not, one single menstrual cup can last you for 10 to 15 years. It is worth investing in one, you won’t regret it.

7. I hear from a lot of girls that they are scared to bring the cup in. I think it is mostly a mental barrier to get over. After doing some research everyone can do it!
