Review: Package Free

The Package Free shop is any environmentally conscious person's dream! I wish I could have one of everything :3

Have you heard of @ecosoapbank? This awesome nonprofit org saves and recycles discarded hotel soap, sanitizes them, and supplies free soap to the developing world, all while promoting #sanitation and #hygiene education 🧼 I'm so excited for their growth, impact, and latest initiative @projectecosoap that aims to employ 45 women in Cambodia! Supporters may purchase a high-impact, #zerowaste bar soap and know that their contribution is directly: - reducing #waste through soap recycling - increasing sanitation access to countless more individuals who do not have consistent access to basic sanitation - supporting an org dedicated to empowering women through employment opportunities - providing health hygiene education to beneficiaries in 10 countries! To learn more, check out my blog post: https://ahealthyblueprint.com/2019/04/18/project-ecosoap/ Sign up for their updates here for when their campaign launch on May 1 (one week from today!!): https://projectecosoap.org/ 📷: @ecosoapbank #WASH #publichealth #ProjectEcoSoap

Last month there was a global #trashtag challenge embraced by people of all ages who went out to clean up #litter in their communities. It picked up steam so quickly and the transformations were incredible! Day 24: too often people don't give a second thought when something drops out of their hands or pockets and end up on the floor, or even intentionally litters instead of holding onto their trash until the nearest receptacle. I know I've been guilty. In honor of #EarthMonth, participate in or organize your own community clean-up to beautify your neighborhood! You'll be preventing litter from ending up in sewers and the oceans, and also keeping our wildlife from mistaking trash and recyclables for food (or getting trapped in them)! #AHBEarthMonth #trashtagchallenge

Trees are quiet allies to us - they provide us shade from the sun, their roots absorb water to reduce flooding and prevent #soilerosion, they reduce #heatislands in cities, they reduce #airpollution, and most importantly they provide us #oxygen to breathe!! 🌳 Day 23: in honor of #EarthMonth, plant a tree for your own personal wellbeing and for the planet's 💚 #AHBEarthMonth #plantatree #treelovers #bujoinspiration #watercolorart

H A P P Y E A R T H D A Y 💚 Day 22: since 1970, April 22nd marked a day where people got together to celebrate our beautiful planet and reaffirm our commitments to environmental protections. To date, over 193 countries participate in this global event 🌏 For more information about this day and how to get involved in your area, visit @earthdaynetwork: https://www.earthday.org/ #AHBEarthMonth #EarthDay #earthday2019

According to the @ipcc, an increase in #globalwarming from 1.5° to 2° C will have an enormous impact on the future of our planet, creating irreversible damage for countless generations ahead of us. (Swipe to the next graphic for a comparison created by @carbonbrief) Day 21: #climatechange "refers to a broad range of global phenomena created predominantly by burning fossil fuels, which add heat-trapping gases to Earth’s atmosphere." We are seeing some catastrophic events already around the world: increased numbers of natural disasters, drought, heat waves, polar vortexes, rising sea levels, among other examples. We are on a path to no return and we need to make course corrections TODAY. We need to call on our world leaders to take #ClimateAction and transition to #cleanenergy and #renewables and divest from #fossilfuels. We need to be carbon neutral not by 2050, but by 2030. There's no time to waste. #AHBEarthMonth #EarthDay

What do you do with your #foodwaste? Day 20: the last thing you want to do with food scraps is toss them into the regular trash! When they end up in sealed trash bags and sit in landfills forever, they will release #methane gas, one of the more potent #greenhousegases that contribute to #climatechange. If you have vegetable scraps, you can keep them in the freezer until you accumulate enough to make #soupstock 🍲 if you have egg shells and fruit peels, you can practice #composting so they can become nutritious supplements for the soil (and if you're able to do extra research, you can even find other ways to use these scraps!) #AHBEarthMonth
