VIDA natural
Plastic free alternatives for everyday items and gifts - easy and cost effective swaps π #myvidan This is when Vida Natural was born.
4 years ago after seeing disturbing images and programs on plastic pollution I had my eyes opened to the devastating impact it is having on our planet and all the animals within. I decided to take a look around my home and see where I can reduce our plastic usage. It soon became apparent that the amount of single use plastic that is used in a usual household was heartbreaking. So I decided to sta

Easy ways to recycle Christmas leftovers πΏ
π Utilise natural decorations by placing holly and berry-filled greenery to serve as a feast for birds. Consider placing foliage within a tilted flower pot to provide shelter for insects.
π Transform peels and leftovers into compost by mixing raw vegetable and fruit scraps with some paper materials. Deposit this mix into a compost heap or bin for eco-friendly decomposition.
π« Repurpose leftover fat or oil by combining them with unsalted nuts and dried fruits, crafting a high-energy bird feed to sustain local bird populations.

Make your Christmas merrier and greener with eco-friendly gifts, natural dΓ©cor, LED lights, minimal packaging, and mindful meals β¨
π Sustainable Gifts: Opt for gifts that are eco-friendly, such as reusable items, experiences, or products made from recycled materials. Consider homemade gifts or items that promote sustainability, like bamboo toothbrushes, reusable straws, or solar-powered chargers.
π Natural Decorations: Use natural and biodegradable decorations like pinecones, holly, or dried citrus fruits for your Christmas decor. Avoid plastic or non-recyclable decorations and instead embrace the beauty of nature.
π‘ LED Lights: Choose LED Christmas lights for your decorations. They consume less energy compared to traditional incandescent bulbs and last much longer, reducing waste and energy consumption.
π Minimal Packaging: When wrapping gifts, opt for recyclable or reusable wrapping materials like brown craft paper, fabric, or old newspapers. Avoid glossy or metallic wrapping papers that cannot be recycled easily.
π₯ Reduce Food Waste: Plan your Christmas meals carefully to reduce food waste. Make a shopping list, consider portion sizes, and use leftovers creatively. Compost any food scraps to minimise your ecological footprint.
These small changes can make a big difference in reducing the environmental impact of the festive season.

These words from Leonardo DiCaprio are a powerful reminder of the pressing issue at hand. Climate change is not a distant problem but a reality we're experiencing today. The consequences of inaction are far-reaching, affecting not only us but future generations.
Our planet is sending us signals through extreme weather events, melting glaciers, and rising sea levels. It's a call to action, a call to take responsibility for our actions and make sustainable choices. Each of us can play a part, whether it's reducing our carbon footprint, supporting renewable energy, or advocating for climate policies.
By working together, we can create a more sustainable and resilient future for ourselves and the countless species we share this Earth with. Let's turn awareness into action and make a positive impact today πΏπ€
π± Let's talk about eco-friendly options - did you know the difference?
Biodegradable materials naturally break down over time, reducing environmental impact.
Compostables, on the other hand, turn into nutrient-rich compost when processed in controlled facilities, helping divert waste from landfills.
Choosing wisely makes a big difference πΏ
