This is my newest addition of reusable and plastic-free straws. I’ve used stainless steel straws for a while but the long one doesn’t fit a kids size glass. These stainless steel short straws from Eco-Straw are a perfect match for my son’s smoothie glass They’re […]
Beautiful Christmas decorations using only natural materials. I think that this is a great way to avoid or reduce plastic and use things that might already be around you. It was a great little family adventure spending time in nature collecting pine cones and branches […]
Homemade food for the birds in old cups to help them through the winter.
We mixed leftover animal cooking fat with a mix of seeds but I guess you can also use coconut oil as it’ll also stay solid.
First the fat has to be softened to mix in the seeds. Now fill old cups with the seed and fat mix. After you fill the cups, you need to place the cups in cold so the fat becomes solid before hanging them up.

Swapping my single use tissues for reuseable tissues. There’s not really more work other than throwing them in the mashing machine with a load. I’ve also put a couple of reuseable tissues in my sons bag and in the car. It’s important to have them […]
Silk floss won’t compromise your oral health and it goes in your compost bin when you’re finished flossing. I found a piece of silk left over from an old sewing project and an old silk shirt with holes in but you can also buy a […]
My family enjoys a meal with mussels or oysters at least once a month. Not only is it delicious but also amazing for your brain health as mussels and oysters are brain building with their high content of long chain omega 3 fat. Another great thing about mussels and oysters is that when farmed they can’t be fed an unnatural diet like for example farmed salmon.
When you’ve finished a delicious and nutritious meal with mussels, you don’t want to throw them in the rubbish bin. Instead you can crush them and put them in your compost bin or dig them in your garden, which will add porosity and minerals to the soil as they decompose.
You can also do what we did here, inspired by the Crushed Shell Driveway tradition from Hawaii 😃 Throw the shells out on your driveway and they’ll be crushed within a few days as you can see on the photo. You can rinse or wash them before using them if you’re worried about attracting rats etc.
