#lowimpact

In a world where waste is piling up and healthy soil is becoming scarce, composting has emerged as a simple yet powerful solution. Whether you live in a busy city apartment or a quiet suburban neighborhood, composting at home can transform the way you handle kitchen scraps and yard waste. More than just a method of disposing of organic waste, composting is a natural process that enriches the soil, reduces landfill pressure, and helps create sustainable communities.

Small moments

A reminder that every slight shift you make in your day to day, whether it’s repurposing takeout containers to making your own plant-based milk, makes a difference. It’s easy to feel discouraged in these moments, to get sucked into a social media vortex and loose sight of the small accomplishments you’re making. So here’s the reminder to put your phone down and appreciate how your mindful moments add up.

Reducing our environmental impact means reducing our personal footprint. The overwhelm of trying to go entirely #zerowaste can be anxiety inducing and lead to paralysis. Take it one step at a time, try one new habit and build consistency with it before you take on anything else. You don’t need expensive containers or products to live a low impact lifestyle. You can meet yourself where you are, with kindness and patience.

Let’s commit to starting one new sustainable habit this week. Monumental change is compounding y’all. What we do today will build the foundation for years to come. One small moment at a time. So, what is the best way you can make a difference in your own home, starting today? (Hint: maybe it’s saving all your lemon peels to candy them...?)

Last Sunday I found a (bumble)bee on the ground outside. It barely moved and I felt so bad that I took it with me and gave it a bit of natural lemonade (no weird additions). It didn't seem to get better, so I made it a bed in the box of my tarot cards, put a drop of lemonade in it and kept it there, next to a cup of warm water which radiated the warmth.

It started moving more, but when I put it outside, it fell still again so I took it inside and decided to take care of it until it had gotten better.

Unfortunately, the bee was too weak to survive, I feel bad but I did all I could and hopefully gave it a good last few hours of its life.
