There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t hear another story or post about the devastation single-use plastic is having on our environment. If we continue plastic consumerism at our current rate, it’s hard to believe there won’t be a waterway in the world left that’s not filled with it.
This week, we have a blog from Natalie Maybury from Green Nut, highlighting ten eco products that you can easily switch to today. If you’re keen to grow herbs and vegetables but you don’t have a garden – or space in the garden – and maybe you’re not that great at remembering to water your plants, then check out greennut.co.nz. They have a super range of self-watering platers that make gardening a breeze.
“Yes, it possible to go plastic-free around your home. I mean, don’t get me wrong…It might be challenging to make the switch to 100% plastic-free, and it might take some time. But with the health and environmental dangers of plastic, it’s worth it.”
