Thursday the 22nd of April is Earth Day each year, but what is it? What does it mean? And where has it come from? If you’re from the UK, you may not have heard of Earth Day in the same way, because it started in America. It is now a global event which includes overContinue reading “Earth Day”

Hummus Recipe
Hummus (or houmous, if you spell it like that) is one of my favourite foods. When I first went vegetarian, hummus was one of my go-to foods, especially for sandwiches. But, since looking at my dairy consumption, I discovered that some hummus has cream in it?! I also realised that each pot, which I wouldContinue reading “Hummus Recipe”
My Haircare Routine
I’ve talked a bit about zero waste and low waste skin care before, but I’ve never really talked about haircare. This is mostly because I’ve been through a bit of trial and error, particularly over lockdown. So, this week I thought I’d breakdown what products I use on my hair and how I look afterContinue reading “My Haircare Routine”
Tomato Soup Recipe
In the UK, spring isn’t generally that warm. I know I’m still wrapped up in jumpers, and so I love a comforting but fresh soup to have for lunches. My favourite soup is a classic Heinz tomato, but this isn’t vegan and can feel a little artificial. So, I decided to make my own. It’sContinue reading “Tomato Soup Recipe”
The Pill and the Environment
Recently, we’ve heard a lot about the Covid vaccine and potential risks of blood clots. In response, people have been talking about the blood clot risk related to the contraceptive pill and how this isn’t talked about very much. Something that is talked about even less than this is the environmental impact of the pill,Continue reading “The Pill and the Environment”
Homemade Nutella
Nutella is one of my favourite foods. I love pairing it with peanut butter and apple slices as a pudding or a snack, which is basically what I would have most afternoons when I came home from school (when I was still in school). But then, I found out that ferrero who make nutella didn’tContinue reading “Homemade Nutella”
Eco Burnout and Eco Anxiety
I love my masters degree, I love my blog and I love talking about the planet, but sometimes I feel exhausted and sad about it. Anyone else? I’d imagine, pretty much everyone. This is basically a form of burnout, just climate specific burn out. Burnout is ‘the feeling of being exhausted due to excessive andContinue reading “Eco Burnout and Eco Anxiety”
Homemade Peanut Butter
One of my newest favourite foods, peanut butter is so delicious. But, it virtually always has palm oil (sometimes sustainable) in the ingredients list, and every time I buy it I acquire a new jar (which we all know I don’t need). So, I decided to try making my own. Now, I like chunky peanutContinue reading “Homemade Peanut Butter”
Cold Weather and Global Warming
So, we’re being told that the planet is heating up. Without big changes, the sea levels will rise dramatically, some countries will be too hot to live in and our reliance on air conditioning will be a catch-22. But if the planet is warming, why has the weather been so cold? Across the world, thereContinue reading “Cold Weather and Global Warming”
Tasty Salad Recipes
Salads as a plant-based person can be a bit sad. I like vegetables, but eating vegetables with more vegetables? It’s boring, and doesn’t fill you up. You need those carbs, fats and protein – the big three. I’ve been trying to work on my nutrition recently, and as part of that I’ve been eating saladsContinue reading “Tasty Salad Recipes”
