Here’s a round up of Days 13-16…
Day 13 – The World Without Us
Slightly different day 13 as its not really about action but being aware. Its safe to say we cant get away from the news at the moment, however, there has been some positives from the current situation. There have been reports showing the overwhelming improvement of our environment due to the reduction of pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Marshall Burke from Stanford University has calculated the potential lives SAVED from the reduction of pollution in China. Two months of pollution reduction has probably saved the lives of 4,000 children under 5 and 73,000 adults adults over 70 in China.
Its something we’ve known about for a long time, air pollution can cost us 3 years off our global life expectancy.
Day 14 – Hang Out Your Laundry
We have been having some gorgeous weather so this has come at the perfect time, hanging out your laundry.
Hanging your laundry out to dry instead of using your tumble dryer:
Even if you don’t hang every wash load, each time you do, you save yourself money and help to protect the environment.
Day 15 – EcoBox
Lets face it, times are difficult, so why not treat yourself? You could also treat someone else who you are missing or maybe one of our key workers. We have introduced the EcoBox. Its is a specially selected range of Eco-Friendly treats including Natural English Made Soap, Sisal Soap Bag, Essential Oil, Handy Pouch for Bits and Bobs and much more!

Day 16 – Essential Oils
I don’t know about you but I love a candle or wax melt burning through the home. And now we’re at staying home we’re using them more.
To keep the lovely scents strong I’ve been adding a few drops of essential oil to some plain wax (tealight candle removed from the outer tin and remove the inner wick) and using that instead of wax melts.
The benefits of using essential oils in this way:
We are currently using the Happiness oil blend of bergamot, grapefruit and ylang-ylang. There are over 100 oils and blends and you can find the list and prices below:
