Sustainable September Day Five Kindness

Hello my beautiful Sustainable September-ers... I know that wasn't a real word but you know what I mean,

How did you go with yesterdays Sustainable September kindness? Have you bought any local products? anything you like? anything you would buy again? What do you get that is local to you, that might not be available elsewhere?

Friday – 5 September - Sign a petition to protect a particularly favourite landmark or area that is under threat. Recently there has been petitions for Australians to sign regarding our Tasmanian Forests and even the Great Barrier Reef. It may not seem like a huge thing adding your name to a petition but small acts when multiplied by millions of others makes a big difference. The Conservation Council of WA is a good place to start. http://ccwa.org.au/

#If you are not in WA or even Australia then there are so many awesome groups/websites available through a quick online search through Google, that can help you sign petitions in your local area. :)

Feel free to comment below about the type of local products you have bought! :) I look forward to

I hope you are going well, 

Luv Daena 

Sustainable September Day Four Kindness

Hey my beautiful people,

How did you go getting a KeepCup or a reusable cup? Did you use one today? What is your beverage of choice? I love my Soy Chai Lattes... So yummy! :)

Drinking my soy chai latte! :)

Thursday – 4 September – When you shop buy local products. It means that the product is more environmentally friendly as it doesn’t have to travel as far. With the added bonus that you are supporting local business. 

There are some logos that you could look for when it comes to buying local in Australia, or more specifically Western Australia:

Western Australian Made

For Australian Made products check out this link: http://www.australianmade.com.au/products/

Buying local is particularly important when it comes to buying food. 

"‘Food miles’ is one indicator when assessing the environmental impact of foods. The term 'food miles' refers to how far food has travelled from the paddock to the plate. As a general rule of thumb, for the same product, the lower the food miles, the less distance it has travelled and the better the choice is for the environment and for your health. This is particularly relevant in choosing local grown fresh fruit and vegetables over produce that has travelled many miles in refrigeration." Read More here.

Hope this helps you look after our environment and be kind to this beautiful planet of ours. Kindness matters.

Love,
