  • Week 51: Do something, anything.⠀ ⠀ I’ve been struggling with how to wrap up this year of tips for living a more eco-friendly existence. I’m still learning so much about environmentalism everyday, about how to not aim for perfection, about how to be patient and understanding of others who live in a different perspective. So this week, rather than telling you what your next step should be, I’m leaving it in your hands. https://www.52togreen.com/do-something-anything/⠀ ⠀ Sign up at https://www.52togreen.com (link in bio) to get started on your path to becoming more environmentally conscious and eco-friendly.⠀ ⠀ #52togreen #52waystobegreen #takeaction #dosomething #ecoliving #ecofriendly #gogreen #sustainable #greenliving #lesswaste #wasteless #zerowasteirl #zerowaste #nomoreplastic #savetheearth #savetheplanet #lowwaste #zerowastefamily #lowimpactfamily #lowwastefamily #plasticfree #getwasteless #plasticfreeliving
  • Week 50: Buy Nothing New⠀ ⠀ If you had asked me to take this challenge a few years ago, I would have told you it was impossible. These days, however, it’s pretty much par for the course with my family. I think part of that is because our general consumption is down, but also because I know a number of resources for buying used, trading, or making do with what we have. https://www.52togreen.com/buy-nothing-new/⠀ ⠀ Sign up at https://www.52togreen.com (link in bio) to get started on your path to becoming more environmentally conscious and eco-friendly.⠀ ⠀ #52togreen #52waystobegreen #plasticfree #zerowaste #zerowastehome #gogreen #sustainable #greenliving #lesswaste #wasteless #zerowasteirl #zerowastelifestyle #nomoreplastic #savetheearth #savetheplanet #lowwaste #zerowastefamily #lowimpactfamily #lowwastefamily #plasticfree #getwasteless #plasticfreeliving
  • It was 30 degrees C today and I feel uhmazing. I'm so grateful for the warmer weather and chance to get myself and my family outside. I feel like connecting with nature is so important for all of us. It helps me put things in perspective. It reminds me that I want to live a simple life full of gratitude. It helps me let go of my worries and unnecessary stress. As we move into warmer weather, I'm excited to spend more time with my kids gardening, visiting beaches and forests, camping and canoeing. What are your favourite things to do in the summer that help you reconnect with Mother Earth? 🌎 🌎 🌎 #52togreen #52waystobegreen #getoutside #spring #readyforspring #warmerweather #goodbyewinter #timetogetoutside #hellospring #playoutside #walks #flowers #plantlove #selfcare #gogreen #nature #naturelove #lovenature
  • Week 49: Invest in Solar Panels⠀ ⠀ If you live in Ontario, there have a been a lot of changes in the solar industry in the last little while. The microFIT program which paid participants for the energy they were generating is now closed but there are still a number of amazing options for installing solar on the roof of your home or business. https://www.52togreen.com/invest-in-solar-panels/⠀ ⠀ Sign up at https://www.52togreen.com (link in bio) to get started on your path to becoming more environmentally conscious and eco-friendly.⠀ ⠀ #52togreen #52towaystobegreen #solar #solarpower #residential #retrofit #diy #savemoney #saveenergy #gogreen #renewable #renewableenergy #home #homerenos #renovations #retrofit #sustainable #greenliving #goinggreen

I'd prefer some warmer, dryer weather, but I'll take what I can get. #52togreen #52waystobegreen #getoutside #playoutside #trees #getlost #intothewoods #hiking #familyhike #lovelifeoutside #natureconnection #babesinthewoods #beinggreen #lowimpactfamily #gogreen #nature #naturelove #lovenature
  • Week 48: Retrofit Your Home⠀ ⠀ It’s worth taking some time to explore the different ways that you can save energy and money by making changes around your home. Some changes can be quite large and costly, but others can be small and easy to do. A lot of the smaller changes can add up over time! https://www.52togreen.com/retrofit-your-home/⠀ ⠀ Sign up at https://www.52togreen.com (link in bio) to get started on your path to becoming more environmentally conscious and eco-friendly.⠀ ⠀ #52togreen #52towaystobegreen #retrofit #diy #savemoney #saveenergy #fixyourhome #gogreen #home #homerenos #renovations #retrofit #sustainable #greenliving #goinggreen #zerowastehome
  • Plastic free food. I watched the documentary "A Plastic Ocean" last Friday and it has renewed my drive to reduce the plastic in my life. Our family is definitely below average with the changes we've made over the last 5 years, but after seeing the damage being caused in our oceans, every piece of plastic wrapping I put in the trash is making me cringe. One of the biggest changes that I've found helps us keep plastic out of our kitchen is making food from scratch. It's much easier to find ingredients in bulk or plastic free than premade food. We are also a vegetarian / vegan household, so hummus is a big favourite at lunch. Unfortunately it's hard to find package free and I can't seem to find tahini which is what makes hummus so creamy. In its place this week, I'm trying a black bean dip. Everything in this was found plastic free!! . . . Black bean dip: cook one cup of black beans until soft (can take over an hour). Dice one clove of garlic and half an inch of ginger. Smoosh the beans with a fork or in a food processor, mix in the ginger and garlic, and squeeze in the juice from one lime. Mix together and serve with crackers or nacho chips! #52togreen #52waystobegreen #vegan #plasticfree #zerowaste #zerowastehome #gogreen #sustainable #greenliving #lesswaste #wasteless #zerowasteirl #zerowastelifestyle #nomoreplastic #savetheearth #savetheplanet #lowwaste #zerowastefamily #lowimpactfamily #lowwastefamily #plasticfree #getwasteless #plasticfreeliving #plasticfreefood #recipe #blackbeandip #blackbeans
  • Week 47: DIY Continued!⠀ ⠀ Well, after the deodorant, toothpaste, and beauty care products, you might be asking what’s next? You might be taking a deeper look at some of the items that you use regularly and asking “Can I make that?”. The answer is probably yes! Start by taking a closer look at the clothes you wear, the cleaning products you use, the food that you eat… and wondering how hard those things might be to make on your own. https://www.52togreen.com/diy-continued/⠀ ⠀ Sign up at https://www.52togreen.com (link in bio) to get started on your path to becoming more environmentally conscious and eco-friendly.⠀ ⠀ #52togreen #52towaystobegreen #zerowaste #diy #zerowastelife #zerowastelifestyle #zerowastefamily #gogreen #lifewithoutplastic #nomoreplastic #makeityourself #doityourself #sustainable #greenliving #goingzerowaste #wastefree #notrash #nowaste #lowwaste #zerowastehome #makeitbaby

    Week 2: Drink Tap Water

    / May 23, 2018

    There’s been no shortage of reasons why people should turn on their taps rather than drink bottled water but that doesn’t seem to have changed enough minds out there. I have friends who…
