Hosting parties and entertaining friends can be lots of fun, but they aren’t always the most sustainable activities, particularly with regards to the amount of waste they can create. I wanted to share my top tips for throwing an eco friendly party and I’d love to hear your suggestions too!
Recently a friend was telling me she was looking at introducing more organic food into her life, and when I mentioned the dirty dozen and clean fifteen lists she didn’t know what I was talking about, and it dawned on me that she might not be the only one! Not everyone spends their spare time reading about these kinds of things like I do (nerd alert!) so today I thought I would share this useful resource with all of you too!
I got such lovely feedback on my ethical eggs post that I thought I would expand upon it and share a guide on how to choose ethical meat as well. Now, obviously I don’t actually eat meat, but I know a lot of my lovely readers do, so hopefully you find this helpful!
Not that many years ago it seemed the only choice to be made when buying eggs was between caged eggs and free range eggs, but that’s definitely no longer the case. Now there are eggs labelled caged, barn-laid, organic, free range, pastured raised, cage-free and a whole host of other terms. It’s all gotten rather confusing! So, today I want to help with all this with my how-to guide for choosing ethical eggs!
For me, part of wanting to live as sustainably as possible includes not only what I eat but what I put on my skin as well. There are some great natural skincare and cosmetic companies out there, and I thought I would start by profiling a company I have been using for the last year or so, Sukin.
