A list of (realistic) things you can do to be more environmentally friendly
(from an earth-loving horticulture student.)
— COSMETICS
Use bar soap instead of soap bottles
Use old toothbrushes for cleaning surfaces
Try exploring and researching some homemade face/body/lip products
Use ice sleeves, sunglasses, and caps instead of sunscreen (Edit: I’ve seen people say that it is safer and even necessary to wear sunscreen at all times so try to use eco friendly sunscreen instead! In my country it’s pretty uncommon to wear sunscreen often as we usually wear ice sleeves which is why I did not know this oof)
Use coffee grinds or homemade tumeric masks instead of cosmetic products with exfoliator beads
Invest in a metal ear cleanser instead of cotton buds
Try placing more importance on skincare instead of contributing to exploitative beauty companies by buying makeup
Use cosmetic products that do not contain palm oil
— CLOTHING
Try as much as possible to rewear your outfits at least twice before washing them
Actually WEAR your clothes! I know some of y’all just wear them once for your Instagram post and let it rot in your closet forever. Stop doing that!
Thrift, stitch up holes in your clothes, and use second hand clothing instead of supporting fast fashion companies like SHEIN, H&M, Zara, etc.
Cut up your old clothing into yarn and do macramè with it
Cut patches of old clothing to turn into reusable cotton pads
Learn how to knit, crochet or stitch your clothes!
If you use tampons, try menstrual cups or discs instead. If you use pads, try reusable pads or period underwear. (Trust me, it works). Also, use reusable panty liners instead of disposable ones. They may seem expensive but you will end up saving a lot more in the long run
— GARDENING
Plant seeds/cuttings in your old bottles, jars, and containers
Propagate your plants and exchange cuttings with your friends instead of buying new plants
Make your own soil mixes instead of buying soil mixes
Better yet, don’t use soil for your indoor plants and try getting into hydroponics or semihydroponics instead. This saves so much water and doesn’t contribute to mining of soil
Fertilise plants with fruit peels, coffee grinds, and tea leaves. (DO NOT use chemical fertiliser on soil)
Plant more legume plants in your garden instead of using nitrogen fertilisers. (Look up the nitrogen cycle if you need an explanation on this)
Avoid pesticides unless really needed. Try sprinkling cinnamon powder on soil or spraying neem oil on plants and soil to keep away pests.
If you have a lawn, try looking into rain gardens and consider making one
Let the (non invasive) weeds in your lawn/garden grow! They are there for a reason!
Stop killing earthworms and millipedes in your garden. This also applies to snails native to your region. They are there for a reason.
Water used to wash fruits and rice can be used to water plants
— REDUCE, REUSE
Use the caps of jars as soap holders
Use recycled paper/notebooks
Wash and dry your glass/plastic items before throwing them in the recycling bin
Keep any plastic bags for future use
Use eco friendly or reusable dish sponges
Use reusable straws and cups
Invest in a fabric cup holder
Bring a water bottle with you wherever you go
Drink more water and less sugary drinks
Bring reusable bags for buying groceries instead of using plastic ones
Always keep a folded up tote/shopping bag with you in case you spontaneously decide to buy something
— ELECTRICITY
Set a timer on your air conditioning instead of letting it run throughout the night
Better yet, use a fan instead of an air conditioner
Open your windows! Aerate your home!
Allow natural light to enter your home during the daytime, so as to avoid turning on your lights
Switch to LED lightbulbs instead of regular lightbulbs
Turn off any switches in your house when they are not in use
Collect the water from your air conditioner/dehumidifier condenser and use that to water plants, clean surfaces, steam ironing, and flushing toilets. Do not drink it though!
— INTERNET
Delete your all of your unwanted emails
Delete your inactive social media accounts
Try not to post excessively on social media and stop scrolling excessively too. This not only reduces energy usage but also improves your mental health and productivity
Try to keep to one social media app instead of having so many
Reduce your internet usage
Save your eBooks on a thumbdrive instead of on cloud
Use Ecosia instead of Google
Stop being influenced by social media trends that only just contribute to consumerism
Download music instead of streaming
Reduce online shopping
— FOOD
Reduce intake of processed foods
Reduce intake of fish, beef, and dairy
Try eating vegan or vegetarian foods at least once or twice a week
Cook your own meals instead of eating out
Bring your own food containers when taking away food from stores
Beeswax wrap instead of cling wrap!
Buy loose-leaf tea or plastic free tea bags instead of regular tea bags
Eat more mushrooms, vegetables, and fruits and drink more water
Support local farmers
And finally, educate yourself more about ecology and the environment!

ok no one cares but since i live in a subtropical climate and have blood that insects love, i’ve been looking into how to try to get them to love me less, particularly mosquitos. i was already using vegan products anyway, and i think that does help. but so far i have
switched to a low-ingredient (and vegan ofc) shampoo & conditioner that contains tea tree
switched to a low-ingredient body wash that is aloe-based and thus aloe-scented
started eating much much more garlic and even also added a cheap concentrated garlic supplement to my regime
switched to an unscented, low-ingredient ayurvedic body lotion that contains castor and olive oils
switched to an ozonated avocado oil deodorant
switched to an even more eco-friendly dry laundry strip detergent
no dryer sheets, only rubber balls
and so far i think it’s all kinda maybe working! i sit outside from 4-5pm each day trying to trap stray cats and i’ve noticed a decrease in bugs hovering around me in the last couple weeks
and ok maybe it’s my imagination but i like to think reducing chemicals where i can does help.
also i wear no perfumes/fragrances anyway and also wear no products in my hair at all. and i only use sunscreen on my skin

Hey hon, for the ask: 2,4,18,20,27 and 29? 😊
Hey hon, sorry it took so long to answer this - it's been a difficult week.
Right FYI for folks reading this - I'm not tagging it and I'm not getting into a debate esp re the first answer given that it's an emotive topic. With that said - let's begin!
2) Thoughts on veg@nism?
I have mixed feelings that are hard to articulate esp on here and given how fraught the topic is, is why I'm hesitant to answer the question. In short, I have a huge deal of respect for veg@ns but I'd struggle to be one. I do want to try to bring in more of it when I can, mainly because I find the industrialisation of food/farming so repellent. I hate the idea of animals suffering so I try when I can to avoid meat or to get things that are well sourced. My feelings on this subject have changed and developed across the years and it's complex so I think it's always worth thinking about. For example, although I hate the thought of killing something for food, I don't necessarily think that it's wrong. What I think is wrong is lack of compassion. Animals should be treated with respect, care and not as a product without feelings. I respect Indigenous communities for example that don't sentimentalise animals but respect and care for them and the world as part of a whole with themselves as a part of it. I also admit that I love meat and some of my favourite foods are dairy. Food is one of the few pleasures in my life so I don't want to be dictated to or guilt-tripped about that especially by people who haven't thought the topic through and just want to evangelise and gatekeep others (however understandable and worthy the cause.)
Also there's the tension with the fact that veg@n products aren't always environmentally friendly - mass deforestation for mono-crops like soya (although this happens for cattle grazing too) and toxic plastic for leather. There's another Indigenous perspective (I'm thinking of certain Plant Shamans in the Amazon for example) that view plants as having their own souls and awareness and if you think that sounds weird there are scientific studies revealing the sensitivity and intelligence of plants (look into rhizome forests for example.) Movements like Animism, Post-Animism, Post-Humanism incorporate the Non and More-than Human worlds and this includes plant-life. Are we and animals more important than them? How did we decide that just because we can't see their pain? Or is that just anthropomorphising them? It's another perspective for sure.
I don't think there's any easy answers but thinking in that way is the main reason I decided to get a forest burial if I can, instead of getting cremated. If I take from the earth as part of the circle of life well I should give back and there's no better way I think than to become a tree and give back when I die (yep this post just got weird lol, but seriously this is what I'm talking about - circle of life!) This way I get to be something that I adored in life - a blossom tree - as well as a whole eco-system supporting lichen, insects, birds, people etc. And I think that is pretty awesome. But that doesn't get round the central dilemma so I'm still working on it and doing the best I can in difficult times.
4)Mythical Creature you believe/think is real?
As a Brit I have a weird hope that the Loch Ness monster is real because I loved learning about it as a kid and it's too awesome to think that a prehistoric monster still lives in the modern age. I think the folkloric White Hart (Arthurian/British symbol of Kingship/Sovereignty) is real in terms of the Universe throwing up symbols sometimes. There was a really bad omen for my country in recent years when one was shot running through Manchester and that tells you everything you need to know about our government and current state of the country even if it was allegedly for health and safety reasons.
18) Your Boba/Tea order?
I'm ashamed to say I've never tried these. Sorry but they just look weird. As a English Breakfast tea-drinking cliché I don't trust cold tea or weird balls that look like rabbit droppings. Hehe sorry. I should give it go sometime. If we are talking actual tea then what we Brits call 'Builders tea' aka black tea with a little milk and one sweetener x 3 a day. Can't function without it.
20) Favourite Disney Princess Movie?
Ooh, good question! I love the Golden Age - Little Mermaid (I pretended to be Ariel as a kid for ages, drew her, had a whole toy cave set and dolls etc), Aladdin(first movie I saw in the cinema, had posters, toys etc) and Beauty and the Beast. Special shout out to Hunchback of Notredame as well even though that's not a Princess movie, it's awesome and I love Esmeralda. However the prize has to go to B & B. I was and still am obsessed with that movie, I think I can still recite it line for line. My friend and I spent one sleepover casting our school year group as the cast in our heads and then singing (badly) all the songs on a walk. I also have Belle's colouring (can't claim I look exactly like her, can I?) and more importantly can do a mean impression of many of the characters esp the Narrator and the bookstore owner (minor characters for the win!) Did I mention I was obsessed?
27) What’s your favourite or go-to outfit?
Difficult one...I'm (again) living out of a suitcase and carrying more weight than I want to so I don't have all the clothing options I'd like rn. Ideal world my favourite piece of clothing is this little black dress I have that you can wear for the office or for a night out - it makes me look great and I used to match it with different accessories including this beautiful pink and gold belt. Both are in storage now cos mama's too chubby to fit them! At present it's my chunky white grandma cardigan over black trousers with a different colour top and jewellery - pastels or vivids like bright red.
29) Preferred pasta noodle?
The phrasing of this question upsets me - is it fave pasta or fave noodle? I know them as two different things. So I'll cheat and answer for both! Haha.
Fave pasta...I...don't really have one. I like all of them - twists, shells, linguine (my internet is playing up so I can't check all the italian names.)
Favourite noodle - love a lot of them but Naruto and I share a love for ramen so ramen noodles!!
Thanks and hope that wasn't too much information overload!

Ang Chong Yi  Camping Culinary Chronicles: A Meal for a Nature Lover
It is not just about communing with nature when you go camping; it is also an opportunity to make your mouth water with outdoor food. Your kitchen becomes the wilderness, and a crackling campfire turns into a gourmet paradise. This blog discusses Savouring Nature’s Bounty An Adventure in Camping Cuisine with Ang Chong Yi.pptx, giving insights and tips on a tasty journey into the woods.
Tumblr media
Embracing the Elements: Outdoor Cooking Basics
Outdoor cooking skills are different from those used in your home kitchen. For example, learn how to prepare and set up a fire. It is important to understand fire elements such as kindling, maintaining a steady flame, etc. Portable stoves are also recommended for adverse weather conditions so that you can have accurate cooking even in harsh climate conditions. Other necessary items include lightweight cookware, utensils as well as eco-friendly cleaning supplies.
Fresh Ingredients, Local Flavors
The beauty of camping cuisine lies in its local flavours that one can relish while out in the woods. Plan meals based on what fresh produce is in season at that time of year within your locality. Look out for farmers' markets or grocery stores near your campsite where you can find unique products to try different types of cuisine. Experiment with local herbs and spices as they will lift your dishes and create a journey similar to what you experience in nature.
One-Pot Wonders: Simplifying Camping Cooking
One-pot meals are often ideal when camping because there may be few tools or little space available. There are some rich stews that blend varied inputs together or stir fries or even pasta dishes that combine many elements seamlessly. With this kind of dish, less time will be spent washing up afterwards, and more can be directed towards having fun during the trip instead of worrying about complicated recipes.
Mastering the Grill: From Burgers to Beyond
Grilling outdoors takes BBQing to another level of art. A portable grill to help you turn basic ingredients into smoky, charred treats is one way of furthering your camping culinary skills. From traditional burgers to marinated kebabs and grilled vegetables, a world of possibilities lies ahead in the vast wilderness surrounding you. You might also carry this device for your meat to be cooked perfectly using a reliable meat thermometer.
Campfire Coffee and Beyond: Beverages in the Wild
When an individual brews coffee in the morning among serene natural surroundings it feels almost magical. Obtain a good camping coffee maker so that you can enjoy the rich scent of freshly brewed beans. For instance, create your own campfire teas or prepare hot chocolate to drink on cold evenings. Therefore, hydration is essential and different drinks should be packed to cater for various moods and conditions.
Conclusion
Making campfire meals can be a great adventure that also involves cooking. It does not matter if you are a newbie in the camping field or an experienced outdoor chef. Nothing compares to preparing and eating food out there in the wild. Embrace them. You can also try the real deliciousness of A Fascinating Exploration Ang Chong Yi's Unveiling of Indian Vegan Gastronomy that will accompany your masterpiece when cooked within the background of a crackling campfire.

Glow Naturally: The Benefits of DIY Facial Toner Recipes
In the realm of skincare, facial toners have long been celebrated for their ability to balance the skin's pH, tighten pores, and enhance overall complexion.

In this article, we explore the advantages of creating your own facial toner recipes at home, revealing how these homemade concoctions can revolutionize your skincare routine.
Personalized Formulas: One of facial toner diy advantages of DIY facial toners is the ability to personalize the formula according to your skin's specific needs. Whether you have oily, dry, sensitive, or acne-prone skin, you can tailor the ingredients to address your unique concerns. From soothing chamomile for sensitive skin to astringent witch hazel for oily skin, the possibilities are endless.
Natural and Chemical-Free: DIY facial toners are free from harsh chemicals, artificial fragrances, and preservatives commonly found in commercial products. By using natural ingredients like rose water, green tea, and apple cider vinegar, you avoid exposing your skin to potentially harmful substances. This natural approach promotes healthier skin and reduces the risk of adverse reactions.
Cost-Effectiveness: Creating your own facial toner at home is remarkably cost-effective. Most DIY toner ingredients are readily available in your kitchen or at local stores, and they can be used in multiple skincare recipes. By making your toner, you not only save money but also reduce wasteful packaging associated with store-bought products.
Freshness and Potency: DIY facial toners are prepared in small batches, ensuring freshness and potency of the ingredients. Freshly brewed herbal infusions and freshly squeezed fruit juices retain their maximum nutritional value, providing your skin with essential vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals. The potency of these natural ingredients can positively impact your skin's health and appearance.
Hydration and Nourishment: Many DIY toner ingredients, such as aloe vera gel and floral waters, are hydrating and nourishing for the skin. They replenish moisture, leaving your skin feeling soft, supple, and revitalized. Regular use of DIY toners can improve skin texture and enhance the skin's natural radiance.
Eco-Friendly Approach: Embracing DIY facial toners aligns with eco-friendly practices. By utilizing natural ingredients and reusable containers, you contribute to reducing environmental waste associated with single-use skincare products. This sustainable approach promotes a healthier planet while taking care of your skin.
Therapeutic Aromatherapy: DIY facial toners often incorporate essential oils, adding a therapeutic dimension to your skincare routine. Essential oils like lavender, chamomile, and tea tree not only provide a pleasant aroma but also offer various skincare benefits, such as calming sensitive skin or combating acne. Aromatherapy enhances your overall skincare experience, promoting relaxation and stress relief.
Creating your own facial toner is a delightful and empowering journey into the world of natural skincare. With the right ingredients and a bit of creativity, you can craft toners that not only cater to your skin's needs but also promote a holistic sense of well-being. Embrace the freshness, purity, and effectiveness of DIY facial toners, and let your skin revel in the nourishing embrace of nature.

To maximize the effectiveness of natural cleaning products, here are some tips to keep in mind:
Read and Follow Instructions: Always read the instructions provided by the manufacturer to ensure proper usage and dilution ratios.

Chemical-Free vs. Chemical-Laden: Natural cleaning products are free from harsh chemicals like ammonia, chlorine, and phthalates, which are commonly found in conventional cleaners.

Health-Conscious vs. Health Risks: Natural cleaning products prioritize your health by avoiding harmful chemicals that can cause respiratory issues, allergies, or skin irritations. Conventional cleaners may pose health risks with prolonged exposure.
7. Making the Switch: Tips for Transitioning to Natural Cleaning Products

Gradual Transition: Start by replacing one or two conventional cleaning products with their natural counterparts. Gradually expand your collection as you become more comfortable with the switch.

Reduced Chemical Pollution: By opting for natural cleaning products, you contribute to reducing the release of harmful chemicals into the environment, minimizing water and air pollution.
Sustainable Ingredient Sourcing: Many natural cleaning product manufacturers prioritize sustainable ingredient sourcing, which helps protect natural resources and ecosystems.

Print-On-Demand Holiday Gift Ideas!
By: PapierNecessities
The holidays are almost here! Are you ready? If you’re like me, you’ve been cooped up at home away from family and friends and this is your redeeming year! No more last-minute gift cards because they’re convenient.
This year I’m looking for personalized and customizable gifts. I want my friends and family to know how much I care by giving a gift that relates to their particular interest or skill.  Using Printful my daughter created a cute personalized mug for her friend’s fifteenth birthday. Since Printful’s mugs come in two different sizes (11 ounces or 15 ounces) and are made from ceramic, they make a pretty timeless gift.
Using Printful we also created a personalized mug for my dad during Pastor Appreciation Month. The possibilities are endless. You’re only limited by your imagination! Use my affiliate link https://www.printful.com/a/6221681:089ae3f0c79d4bb561b5641130dce5c3 so they’ll know I sent you! It’s kinda like a warm introduction instead of a cold call.
As an Etsy shop owner, my shop primarily sells printables but our sister site KatorionStudios sells mugs and physical items by partnering with Printful. If you enjoy warming your cold tea or coffee in the microwave and then letting the dishwasher do the cleaning then this is for you! Printful’s white glossy mug is dishwasher and microwave safe.
Do you have a friend or family member in another country? Printful ships overseas too! Since Printful has many locations around the globe your design can get to your loved one pretty quickly! The estimated delivery times are always available when you view the product on Printful’s website. Buy or sell your unique gifts with Printful as early as possible!
If you’re wondering about quality, wonder no more because Printful’s quality is excellent. We have received positive feedback from our customers about the design looking great and being made with high-quality ink. I know from personal experience the sublimation (design printed with dye ink on paper and then transferred directly onto the product with heat) looks great. One of my mugs has lasted for years without the design chipping or fading and I’ve run it through the dishwasher more times than I can count!
While mugs are a popular favorite of mine, I also like Printful’s selection of sweatshirts. They have sweatshirts with and without hoods. My favorite sweatshirt is the Unisex Crew Neck Sweatshirt because it allows me to choose from a variety of colors. Printful also suggests the Unisex Organic Sweatshirt which is eco-friendly.  The organic sweatshirt can be a wonderful gift idea for anyone with eczema, sensitivity to manmade fabrics, or sensory sensitivity. (My daughter has eczema so we often search for natural fibers that don’t aggravate her skin.)
Organic sweatshirts are great for adding to your online shop or simply creating a meaningful gift for a friend or family member. Printful’s organic sweatshirts are made with a minimum of 72% organic cotton, which is lawful, ethical, and safe for the workers and the environment. If you want to add embroidery instead of a printed design, it’s not a problem! Printful’s sweatshirts now offer embroidery options too! The fabric of this product is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified and PETA-Approved Vegan.
Personally, I like sweatshirts because they make the perfect canvas for a faux ugly sweater! Next week our sister site KatorionStudios planning to roll out a few new items in their Etsy store, including a few ugly sweaters (sweatshirts) which I think you’ll like. Hint: If you’re a video game fan, you’ll love them!  
If you’ve gotten this far and you’re still wondering what Print-On-Demand is allow me to explain. Print-On-Demand or POD is a method where items are printed as an order or request for the item is made. For example, if you have a brand, you can start your own online store with an on-demand printing service and no inventory by using Printful.
Printful only charges you once a product has been ordered. So if you sell mugs on Etsy or Shopify, like our sister site KatorionStudios, then you will only get charged once someone buys a mug from your online website. Your website is connected to Printful so they’ll know the quantity, color, and any other specifications for your order. 
The money can be charged to your business account card (if you’ve started an LLC or corporation) or you can add money to your Printful wallet (like we do) and the money will be deducted from your Printful wallet to fulfill the order. The difference between what Printful charges and what you charge on your website is your profit!
If you’re not interested in starting an online store you can still use Printful to create shirts, sweatshirts, hats, or tote bags for a Bachelorette party, Birthday party, Corporate party, Family Reunion, and more. The possibilities are endless! In this article, I mentioned mugs and sweatshirts but Printful has so much more. Some of Printful’s products include stationery, footwear, sweatpants/joggers, and patches.  
I hope this holiday season will be meaningful to you and yours, with lots of love, and warmth. Happy Holidays!

The Marvelous Journey of PaperCup: A Tale of Grit, Grind, and Glory
Once upon a time, in the bustling city of San Francisco, two starry-eyed entrepreneurs, Sarah and Alex, embarked on a daring adventure. Fueled by their shared passion for sustainability, they decided to tackle the mounting problem of single-use plastic waste. They founded PaperCup, a startup committed to revolutionizing the world of disposable cups by making them 100% biodegradable and eco-friendly.In the beginning, Sarah and Alex faced an uphill battle. They were armed with nothing more than a brilliant idea and a garage-turned-lab where they tirelessly experimented to perfect their product. Their enthusiasm and determination knew no bounds, but challenges lurked around every corner.The first roadblock they encountered was financing their dream. Without adequate funding, they wouldn't be able to mass-produce their eco-friendly cups. This dilemma led them to knock on countless doors, pitching their idea to skeptical investors. It took persistence and an unyielding belief in their vision, but eventually, a handful of angel investors saw the potential in PaperCup and backed the venture.With funding in place, Sarah and Alex continued their quest. They knew that to stand out in the saturated market, they had to craft a unique marketing campaign that would resonate with their target audience. They devised an ingenious growth hack: they would collaborate with popular cafes and coffee shops to offer customers discounts on their favorite drinks when served in a PaperCup. This strategy not only increased brand visibility but also aligned with the cafes' sustainability goals. The cups became a hit, and word-of-mouth marketing quickly spread like wildfire.As with any true adventure, there were plenty of obstacles that tested their resolve. One particularly daunting hurdle was navigating the complex web of regulatory compliance. In their pursuit to create a cup that could break down completely within a year, Sarah and Alex had to ensure their product met strict environmental standards. After several iterations and extensive lab testing, they finally achieved a winning formula that was both eco-friendly and compliant with regulations.It seemed that their hard work was beginning to pay off, but an unforeseen challenge loomed on the horizon. A global pandemic threatened to derail their progress, forcing businesses to shut down and bringing the world to a standstill. PaperCup was no exception, as cafes and coffee shops closed their doors, and demand for their cups plummeted.Sarah and Alex knew they had to act quickly to keep their dream alive. They pivoted their business model, harnessing the power of e-commerce to sell directly to consumers. With a renewed focus on home-brewed coffee and tea, they expanded their product line to include a range of biodegradable coffee filters, stirrers, and even tea bags. Their unwavering determination turned a potential crisis into a golden opportunity.Today, PaperCup stands as a shining example of innovation, resilience, and the power of human spirit. They have not only transformed the disposable cup industry but also inspired a movement towards a more sustainable future. Their journey is a testament to the fact that with passion, perseverance, and a little bit of ingenuity, even the most audacious dreams can become reality.And so, dear reader, as you sip your coffee from a PaperCup and reflect on the tale of Sarah and Alex, remember that the seeds of greatness lie within each of us. All it takes is the courage to chase your dreams, embrace the struggles, and turn adversity into opportunity. Who knows, you might just be the next PaperCup in the making. Key Takeaways
Passion and determination can turn dreams into reality, even when faced with numerous challenges.
Securing funding is crucial for a startup's growth, but it requires persistence and belief in one's vision.
Unique marketing strategies, such as collaboration and growth hacks, can help a startup stand out in a crowded market.
Regulatory compliance is an essential aspect of product development, particularly in the sustainability sector.
The ability to pivot and adapt to changing circumstances can turn potential crises into golden opportunities.
