Eco-Friendly Mums

In the UK, 38.7% of all lettuce ends up in the bin, along with 25.5% of every melon, and the average UK family bins a whopping 12 weeks’ worth of groceries every year; that’s almost £60 worth of food per month.
This is a problem because most wasted food in the UK ends up in landfill, which in turn adds to the problem of greenhouse gas emissions and, therefore, climate change.
There is also the huge issue of global hunger; around 1 billion 😮 people worldwide are going hungry 😔.

Do you know of any local or UK-wide schemes for tackling food waste? Let us know in the comments – let’s share our knowledge.

Dear Super Mums 😍, welcome to August.

The 8️⃣ R for more sustainable 🌱 living.
Simple tips to improve our Eco-friendly lifestyle💚

Good Morning 😍

Did you know that in England, it is estimated that annually 1.8 billion plastic-stemmed cotton buds are used and an estimated 10% of it are flushed down toilets and can end up in waterways and oceans.
With the proposed ban, I believe plastic Cotton buds won't be missed because of the diversity in its production from bamboo, to wood and even paper types of cotton buds.

Which of these alternatives to Plastic cotton buds is your favorite??? Mine is the wooden.

Note:- Do not flush cotton buds of any kind.

Peanuts are rich in protein, fat, and various healthy nutrients 🤗. Studies show that peanuts may even be useful for weight loss 😯 and are linked to a reduced risk of heart disease 👌.

Dear Super Mums 😍, You Are a Walking Miracle!!! 👑

To reduce plastic pollution, it is important for us to invoke the change. One of the most important change is to reduce waste and plastic consumption, and the first step is to simply start paying attention 📝

Mom Posture as they call it - has adverse effect on our health.
The way we move and hold our body during your daily activities is the most important factor in our musculoskeletal health, and greatly impacts not only pain, but strength and muscle tone as well.
Ideal posture for a standing dictates that the major units of the skeleton be stacked over one another, with weight evenly distributed.
So start small – draw yourself up tall, open your collar bones, untuck your bum, soften your knees, take a deep breath, and move forward ☺.

Water needs to be conserved as a lot of energy is required to pump water into our homes. Conserving water reduces the amount of energy that is needed to filter it.

Few ways to conserve water are –

Take short showers (Install water-efficient taps and showers to minimise heating water – this will save you money on your water and energy bills, as well as decreasing your carbon footprint),

Keep the running tap close while you brush your teeth,

Recycle water in your home: example:- collect rainwater in a rain barrel to water your lawn,

And
Use water-saving appliances like dishwasher and washing machine with full loads and on an eco-setting wherever possible.

Dear Super Mums, you are doing better than you think.

Straws go from your cup to becoming a 'really big' , they are one of top five items found in .
Single use are a small things with great impact on the . 😔

To prevent over-ripening, plastic wrap around the stems that hold your banana bunch together. Ethylene gas, which speeds up the ripening process, is released from the stems. So when you cover them, it slows the gas from emitting and keeps your bananas fresher longer.

Trees are important part of our environment, they prevent erosion of the soil, as well as provide a home for a variety of animals, they also play a major role in producing the oxygen we breathe and cleaning carbon dioxide out of the air.
We need trees to filter the air.

☺ 😁😀🙂😊

Happy Sunday Super Mums 😍

🤔

There are days I wonder if bringing in my big grocery bag to the store would make any difference so some times I do not bother. On days I decide to go with my own bag I realized I have less trash in the bin because the size of my bag limits what I can carry hence, I buy only what I need. Also, I do not have to disturb myself about the extra plastic bags I have to add to the collections I have at home.
It may be a bit tiring, but I believe it is worth it!

I just realized it's Friday already 🤦🏽

Some Eco-friendly Tips

Sustainability 😍

Food waste is a very serious issue not only in the UK, but across the entire world. It’s so big an issue that it has impacted everyone in so many aspects, all of which, to a very high degree.
The good news is that between 2007 and 2012, the total amount of household food waste in the UK decreased by 15%

During the first months of life, an infant’s brain absorbs sounds. By the end of that first year, the brain starts to prioritize, building greater sensitivity to familiar sounds and less ability to distinguish unfamiliar sounds. Based on phonetic perception and brain development research, we believe that regular exposure to a variety of musical sounds is critical during the first year of life.
Research shows this enrichment during infancy development is particularly powerful.

The struggle is real but guess what?
YOU ARE DOING WELL!!!

A study lead by the prestigious magazine Science, quantifies the plastic that ends up in the oceans; more than 8 million tons of plastic bottles in the sea each year and it is estimated that in the year 2050 there will be more plastic than fishes in the sea.

What are you doing to avoid this prediction?

Good morning, Super Mums!!! 😍

Every litter a bit hurts was an article written by a New York copywriter in 1963 about the importance of proper waste disposal, 57 years later this is still an issue 😔.

Littering is the act of improperly disposing of any kind of waste material, littering in the United Kingdom is an especially significant problem. The Marine Conservation Society (MCS) revealed that its annual beach litter report has shown a rising trend in garbage on United Kingdom shores over 20 years...

Cleaning up trash is important, but it would be better to dispose of it properly in the first place.

Have a great week!

Being Environmentally conscious is an investment in our children's future, teaching them to be Eco-friendly is an investment into generations to come

Have a loved filled Sunday 🤗

"The Future Will Either Be Green or Not At All"

No 4 tho 😂😂😂

Do you know where your garbage goes? After it leaves your homes? Most people don’t give it another thought; out of sight, out of mind. But our daily habit of throwing things away has a price, especially when there is no “away”.
Once waste disappears, it is not meant to reappear but this is not the case.

And remember to breathe 😍
