π± Embracing the Buyerarchy of Needs π±
Today, Iβm taking a step towards a more sustainable and conscious wardrobe. Iβve realized that my old clothes deserve a new life and that thereβs a world of possibilities beyond fast fashion.
π Use What You Have: My closet held hidden treasures Iβd forgotten about - itβs time to give them the love they deserve.
π Borrow or Swap: Sharing is caring! My friend and I are swapping clothes, giving them a fresh purpose and saving resources.
βοΈ Make it Work: A pair of old jeans? I turned them into stylish shorts for summer. DIY adventures await!
π Buy Used: Iβm committed to second-hand and sustainable brands to say no to fast fashion.
𧡠Make it Yourself: The challenge is learning to craft, but Iβm ready to get creative.
Letβs join the movement for a more eco-friendly and ethical wardrobe. Together, we can make a difference. ππ

These places offer plant-based meals.
Here are 2 reasons why you should consider plant-based meals:
People should consider plant-based eating for several compelling reasons:
1. Health Benefits: Plant-based diets are associated with lower risks of chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and certain types of cancer. They can also help with weight management and promote overall well-being.
2. Environmental Impact: Plant-based diets have a significantly lower carbon footprint and require less land, water, and resources compared to animal-based diets. Choosing plant-based options can contribute to a more sustainable planet.

Healthy soil often contains worms and other soil-dwelling organisms. Worms, such as earthworms, are considered indicators of good soil health. They play a crucial role in improving soil structure, aeration, and nutrient cycling. Their presence is a sign of a well-balanced and fertile soil ecosystem. Worms help break down organic matter, making nutrients more accessible to plants, and their burrowing activity enhances soil porosity and drainage. So, when you see worms in your soil, it's generally a positive sign that your soil is in good condition for plant growth.

πΏ Conventional vs. Conscious: The Choice is Clear! πΏ

Unveiling the Hidden Hazards: Did you know that many of the everyday personal care products we use contain toxic chemicals? πΏπ It's time to decode those labels, prioritize clean ingredients, and demand safer alternatives for a healthier you and a greener planet.
Did you know:
Cosmetics labels lack legal definitions for terms like "herbal," "natural," and even "organic." This loophole allows companies to label products as natural without adhering to any specific standards, leading to deceptive practices.

The term "Caribe" was first noted by Christopher Columbus. One hypothesis suggests it translates to "brave warrior," with variants like the English "Carib" adopted by other European languages. Early Spanish colonizers used "Arawak" and "Caribs" to differentiate between Indigenous groups in the Caribbean, categorizing Carib for those they deemed hostile and Arawak for those considered friendly.
Today, the Kalina maintain a significant presence along the left bank of the Maroni River and the Coppename River. Many reside in the Para District, often sharing villages with the Lokono people. Key settlements include Bernharddorp, Wit-Santi, Galibi, Powakka, and Bigi Ston. Importantly, they have a longstanding peace treaty with Suriname dating back to 1686.
Sylvia Kajoeramari, a Kalina member of Suriname's National Assembly, successfully championed the recognition of the International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples as a public holiday in Suriname. πΏπ
