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”
I did Januhairy
So, in this extremely weird time, lockdown 3.0, I just sort of… stopped shaving? It started because I ran out of razorblades, and then by the time I got some, I had gotten into the habit of not bothering. Then, I suddenly realised that actually, I didn’t feel like shaving. Unwittingly, I had taken partContinue reading “I did Januhairy”
Things I don’t do Zero Waste
Ouch, what a title. Potentially a controversial statement, but I think that it is more important for everyone to reduce their waste than for some people to eliminate their waste. In a perfect world, I would be zero waste all the time, but particularly in a pandemic that is very difficult. So, this week, IContinue reading “Things I don’t do Zero Waste”
DIY All Purpose Cleaner
I find that cleaning products are one of the things that people tend to be sceptical about swapping when they want to lower their waste. I get it, we’re set in our ways and we like to use reliable products. But, there are many reasons to try zero-waste cleaning. Firstly, it’s often cheaper, because itContinue reading “DIY All Purpose Cleaner”
New Year’s Resolutions
Even after the car crash that was 2020, people are still excited for 2021. As per tradition, people are starting to talk about their New Year’s Resolutions. Those of us who make resolutions tend not to keep them, with only a quarter of us keeping all of them. We know the usual ones – loseContinue reading “New Year’s Resolutions”
Christmas Jam and Christmas Chutney
So it’s the week of Christmas! I’m not feeling especially festive this year, as I’m sure a lot of people aren’t what with the restrictions and general gloomy atmosphere. But something that always makes me feel Christmassy is cooking and baking. So in these last few days before Christmas, I thought I’d share my twoContinue reading “Christmas Jam and Christmas Chutney”
