Here we are again, another week of people taking action for our oceans. But first, a first! Last week, I received a comment on my post from a friend informing me that her husband attended the Ocean Sciences Meeting (OSM) I was raving about and lo and behold…none of the attendees received plastic-sleeved name tags!…
One thing is for certain: I have never seen weeks fly by as fast as when I’m marking them by this weekly Wednesday post. Sometimes, they fly by so fast I miss Wednesday and have to post this a day late! *face palm* Thankfully, this weekly “thing” has become a very inspiring habit: collect stories…
Hip-hip hooray, it’s Wednesday! Time for another round of Wake Up Wednesday Wins. This week, as with all weeks, we’re connecting the dots between this list and our oceans: with food, clothing, and youth activism. Wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, I hope you find this list inspiring; I know I sure did! Happy Wednesday…
Happy Monday, dear readers! Last week, I wrote about sustainable coffee solutions and how my Internet community connected me with the exact reusable product I needed. This week, I’d like to share another, similar story…this time about thrifted threads – with purpose! I’m about to go on a yarn about a collaborative effort by a…
Hello dear readers, and happy Wednesday! It’s time to Wake-Up for some wins on this Wednesday. If you read my last post, you’ll know that this is a new thing I’m into: sharing “good news highlights” from around the Internet. What I failed to mention was the focus of these “wins” and that, simply, is…
Hello dear readers and Happy New Decade! In honour of fresh starts, I’m offering up a new treat on my blog called Wake-Up Wednesday Wins. This will be a weekly series where-in I share some good-news highlights, curated by me, from around the web. After all, that’s what the whole point of this blog is!…
A trip to Blackie Spit in Surrey, BC brings beautiful views and musings on trash cleanups.
What do a winter reading list, an environmental film festival, and a new outlook on 2019 have to do with one another? Read on to find out… This past December, I went through my stacks and stacks (and stacks) of books and instead of purging (thanks for the vote of confidence, Anakana Schofield), I committed…
Good news! Recently, Portugese airline Hi Fly announced that it would offer four (count ’em!) flights from Lisbon to Brazil. Seems like pretty standard stuff…planes take off every day Ryan, what’s so special about this news? Oh just that all passengers flying aboard these planes would receive no single-use plastics during the entire flight, that’s…
Brené Brown preaches it. Social media is abuzz about it. Yogis learn about it in their teacher training (hollaaa!) and we all need to be practicing it every day, but we’re not. Say it with me folks: vul-ner-a-bil-i-ty. Vulnerability! It’s, like, the most important concept ev-ar. Why? Because a lack of vulnerability is holding up…
OK…what the frack is “dharma” and why are you spouting off yogic terms on a blog dedicated to waste-less living and plastic pollution rants? Chill. Little known fact about me: yoga changed my life and indeed, set me on the path that I now find myself tripping down. I’m amazed I haven’t let more yoga…
No, the title of this post has nothing to do with me as a person. HA. It does, however, have everything to do with plastic. Duh. 😉 Here’s the situation: today, I decided to go for a run, along a new route with a halfway stopping point at a nearby public beach. Context: I live…
