SA friends 🌿 🇿🇦
I’m looking for private or trust-held rural land where a natural burial (simple, unembalmed, tree planted) may be possible, with proper municipal & environmental compliance.
If you or someone you know might be open to this, please DM me. Thank you 💚

When kitchen sponges like these break down, they release microplastics that end up in the sea – harming marine environments and the animals that live there. And they can't be recycled, so remain in landfill for 100s of years. For eco-friendly sponges see: https://t.co/RedTEPMIMN

A tricky to photograph spider hanging round our garden at the moment. It is a welcome cohabitation, especially in Florida, where mosquitoes aren't so welcome.

YES! Greenpeace Africa activists are at your offices in Durban @UnileverSA - have you seen them? I back their demands for an end to your polluting plastic strategy that must end now. #EndPlasticSachets

@rickygervais It's been a comfort during hurricane season in Florida. Truly heartfelt

France has the opportunity to become a true ocean champion and leader in conservation. But this won't happen through inadequate protections and flimsy promises. Join me, and call on the French government to take action on #30x30France: https://t.co/hyY2RZ21uk

No more ecobricking, no more organised littering. Floss container is refillable and used floss can go in the compost. The jar is refillable and can be reused. Toothpaste tubes have been a hard issue to solve while trying to live waste free.

URGENT: I just messaged The International Seabed Authority demanding we keep deep sea mining out of our precious oceans! Let's create some noise and demand others do the same.
Can you do that now? Here’s the link: https://t.co/KqM8tCWxla

Tiny budget. All planted from seed or kitchen scraps. Zoom into the wildflowers in the corner.

Making wax wrap in simple steps. Great for sandwiches. Reusable & easy to clean. Made this for Dad's sourdough bread for father's day.

Jamie Oliver's avocado pastry green quiche. So yum.

Very little money spent. I bought compost and seeds. Used materials lying around.

Monarch butterfly. In Florida most of them are diseased due to the popularity of non native milkweed. They lay their eggs under the leaves of milkweed. It's been advised not to grow any milkweed in Florida, not even the native kind. These butterflies migrate all the way to Mexico
