Don't throw it, regrow it 🌱⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ Did you know you can regrow food from kitchen scraps? ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ When you cut off vegetable roots, leave about 1-2cm of the white stalk. Pop them into a container with a little bit of water making sure the stem is out of the water. In a few days the they start to grow again. Try it with different vegetables like leeks, spring onions and celery.⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ✅Follow @helpzerowaste to get more daily Sustainable, ECO & Zero Waste tips ——————————————————- @helpzerowaste @helpzerowaste @helpzerowaste ✅Like, Comment and Tag your friends to spread the message Credit to @zeroinonwaste and @hana_sackler #helpzerowaste #zerowastelifestyle #earthfriendly #sustainablelifestyle #zerowastehome #bethecchangeyouwanttosee #ecofriendlyproducts #consciousconsumer #ecoliving #lesswaste #zerowasteliving #saynotoplastic #plasticpollution #blueplanet #environmentallyfriendly #nowaste #purposedriven #saveourplanet #reducereuserecycle #noplastic #reduce #zeroniononwaste #zerowasteuk #zerowastelondon #zerowaste #zerowastejourney #zerowastetips #reducefoodwaste https://www.instagram.com/p/CFrt0yysOIc/?igshid=kqriqg5jsmqr

This 2-year-old pooch has been doggedly helping her owner pick up trash from their local English beach—and together, they have collected hundreds of pounds of garbage.⁣ ⁣ As a puppy, Molly the Labrador retriever would always find pieces of trash to play with—which inspired her owner Fliss Cater to turn the pup’s habit into a good cause by encouraging her to deposit all the garbage into a trash bag.⁣ ⁣ “We get stopped all the time by people who think it’s adorable that she’s cleaning. She gets so much attention and she loves it, she knows she’s a bit of a star.”⁣ ⁣ Cater hopes Molly’s unique skill set will not only help clean up the beach, but also make people think twice before littering.⁣ “Unfortunately Molly can’t clean the beach on her own, but she’s trying,” says Cater. “We want to get people involved or at least make them think twice before disposing of their litter so carelessly.⁣ ⁣ “It’s particularly alarming on the beach because people will drop rubbish in the sand, and then it’s a battle against the tides to beat them to it.⁣ •⁣ ✅Follow @helpzerowaste to get more daily Sustainable, ECO & Zero Waste tips ——————————————————- @helpzerowaste @helpzerowaste @helpzerowaste ✅Like, Comment and Tag your friends to spread the message ⁣ Credit to @earthlyactivists #recycled #ecofriendly #ecotips #greentips #ecology #savetheplanet #zerowaste #zerowasteliving #zerowastelifestyle #zerowastelife #greenliving #sustainableliving #reducereuserecycle #zerowastetips #savetheplanet #savetheearth #greenideas #ecofriendlyliving #environment #environmentallyfriendly⁣⁣ #goodnewsworld #goodnewsfeed #loveanimals #loveanimalslovelife #singleusesucks #singleuseplastic #noplastic #plastic #breakfreefromplastic https://www.instagram.com/p/CGE863lM0F3/?igshid=15uzvwe043ps3

Things last longer than you thought! Follow @helpzerowaste for daily sustainable zero waste tips 1. Did you know it takes this long for common garbage to break down in the landfill? And that's not decomposition time, plastic never fully decomposes, it just breaks down into smaller and smaller pieces of plastics, most commonly known as microplastics!

If you're not already on the secondhand train, here are few reasons that might help you get on board!⁠⁠ ⁠ 💚 👕 So many reasons to choose secondhand items! Shopping pre-loved is one of my favorite ways to participate in the sustainable fashion movement. ⁠⠀⁠ ⁠⠀⁠ It's affordable, eco-friendly, zero waste (or low waste really since there's usually packaging and shipping still involved), and it's so satisfying to find that special one-of-a-kind piece you wouldn't be able to find anywhere else or to uncover a gorgeous quality garment at an amazing price. 😍⁠⠀⁠ ✅Follow @helpzerowaste to get more daily Sustainable, ECO & Zero Waste tips ——————————————————- @helpzerowaste @helpzerowaste @helpzerowaste ✅Like, Comment and Tag your friends to spread the message Credit @consciousstyle . .⠀ . . . .⠀ . . . .⠀ . . . #climateaction #environment #plasticpollutes #sustainability #gogreen #cleanseas #noplastic #sustainableliving #wastefree #greenliving #plasticpollution #plasticfree #beatplasticpollution #uselessplastic #planetorplastic #saynotoplastic #zerowaste #noplanetb #climatechange #climatecrisis #environmentallyfriendly #thinkgreen #beatpollution #environmentalist #reuserevolution #secondhandfashion #sustainablefashion (at Planet Earth) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIeggzcnhcN/?igshid=1kj1bm9x8yj10

Ecologist Mark Browne at the University College Dublin added found that 85 percent of the microfibres discovered on shorelines were human-made materials commonly used in synthetic apparel made from such fabrics as polyester and acrylic. He also found that a synthetic garment could release up to 1,900 microfibres when washed in a washing machine. Worse still, researchers at the University of Plymouth, found that a 6kg wash load could release more than 700,000 microfibres! Since some of these fibers aren’t captured at the wastewater treatment facility due to their size and abnormal shapes, they end up in our oceans!! 😱💔🌊 Follow best washing practices 🧺 Wash less often and at lower temperatures to preserve fabrics. Reduce spin speeds and only wash full loads to limit friction. Air dry when possible⁣ ☀️ ✅Follow @helpzerowaste to get more daily Sustainable, ECO & Zero Waste tips ——————————————————- @helpzerowaste @helpzerowaste @helpzerowaste ✅Like, Comment and Tag your friends to spread the message Credit @ecocentral_ https://www.instagram.com/p/CIIhzsrnZvX/?igshid=1f0jwjy4yfuj

Posted @withregram • @easyecotips Toss them and grow plants everywhere you go! Choose local seeds to avoid disturbing eco-systems 🌿 . Making seed balls and throwing them around is a fun activity to do with kids or even with friends! . Throw them onto bare soil. No need to dig or water. When the seeds begin to germinate, the ball breaks apart. The small pile of crumbles provides the start for the roots. . Seed balls can be tossed into abandoned lots, on roadside wasteland, in unused planters or simply in your garden. . Just make sure you choose non-invasive and local species to avoid disrupting the eco-systems. . Ingredients: 2 parts potting soil 5 parts pottery clay mix 1-2 parts water 1-2 parts seeds of your choice . 1️⃣ Mix the soil, clay and water. There should be no lumps. 2️⃣ Add the seeds. Keep kneading the dough until the seeds are well mixed in. Add more water if necessary. 3️⃣ Make small balls. 4️⃣ Dry them for 24-48h in a shady place. 5️⃣ Place them or throw them onto bare soil. No need to dig or water. ✅Follow @helpzerowaste to get more daily Sustainable, ECO & Zero Waste tips ——————————————————- @helpzerowaste @helpzerowaste @helpzerowaste ✅Like, Comment and Tag your friends to spread the message (at Planet Earth) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIARafyHtYu/?igshid=1qich7qoihbjr

Heartbreaking isn't it? . Unfortunately, scientists have shown that plastic bags in the ocean not only look like jellyfish, but also smell like food! . A US study showed that after a while, microbes, algae, plants and tiny animals start to colonise the plastic bags. . This creates a scent that attracts many marine animals, including turtles, whales or even birds. . Their instinct will guide them towards these areas that are now full of trash, making them believe all this trash is actually food. . Remember, millions of tons of plastic waste ends up in the ocean each year. One example of this is the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, the largest concentration of marine debris in the world. . It is located in the Pacific Ocean, and is estimated to be 1.6 million km2, around three times the size of France, or two times the size of Texas, and growing. The vast majority of debris is made of micro plastics that can’t be seen by the naked eye. . And this has an impact on humans too! . A study by the University of Newcastle in Australia has found that in average, people ingest 5 grams of plastic every week, or 2,000 micro plastic particles. This is equivalent to eating a credit card every week! . Micro plastics can be found in fish, but can also be found in water, beer, shellfish or salt. Drinking water has the highest concentration of micro plastics, and bottled water is even worse! Shellfish and salt follow. . What can we do? . The only way to reduce the amount of plastic and micro plastics in the ocean is to reduce the amount of plastic we use. #reduce #reuse #recycle  . ✅Follow @helpzerowaste to get more daily Sustainable, ECO & Zero Waste tips ——————————————————- @helpzerowaste @helpzerowaste @helpzerowaste ✅Like, Comment and Tag your friends to spread the message Credit @easyecotips (at Earth) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHwk-WWn34n/?igshid=75jyc37r9lok
