  • Sprouting seeds is one of the easiest things to grow in your kitchen! You don't need a green thumb, you don't need any dirt, you don't even need much sunlight! All you need is a jar, seeds, and a cover that can drain water (I like plastic canvas the best, but a cheese cloth will do!). Step one: soak the seeds overnight. Step two: drain the seeds, then rinse every morning and night. Step three: keep the seeds slanted at a 45 degree angle for drainage. Step four: after 4-6 days, enjoy! Step five: repeat! That's it, that's all you need to do to have fresh sprouts available at all times! It's also super cheap, the seeds are generally next to nothing, the canvas is around a $1.50 and can make 4-6 tops, and the jars are usually free! Have you done this before? How did it go? • • • • 📷 AMBASSADOR @littlefeetproducts #positiveplanet #ourpositiveplanet #zerowaste #positivity #hope #globalgoals #halifaxzerowaste #zerowastecanada #sustainableliving #goinggreen #halifaxblogger #halifax #toronto #torontoblogger #blogger #sprouting #sprouts #sproutingseeds #grow #growing

  • As summer is approaching, remember to wear your reef safe sunscreen when in the ocean! Be careful though, as many sunscreens come in plastic bottles. Find ones in recyclable tins like this, or simply make your own! Once this tin is done I will be reusing it and making my own☀️ Does anyone have reef-safe sunscreen recipes they’ve tried? • • • • 📷 AMBASSADOR @kirstimrazek #positiveplanet #ourpositiveplanet #zerowaste #positivity #hope #globalgoals #halifaxzerowaste #zerowastecanada #sustainableliving #goinggreen #halifaxblogger #halifax #toronto #torontoblogger #blogger
  • Did you know antibacterial soap can contribute to antimicrobial resistance? To properly get rid of bacteria on your hands, you don't need to sterilize - you just need to wash away the grease and dirt on your hands and the bacteria will wash away. Using antibacterial products can cause bacteria to mutate and become more resistant to antibiotics when we really need them - like in the hospitals. Not only that, commercial soaps almost always contain palm oil and other harmful ingredients. That's why I started to make my own simple soap using organic coconut and olive oil, local lard, lye, and essential oils. Plus there is nothing more satisfying then making your own personalized bar of soap. Making your own soap is very simple - or you can buy some at your local farmers market! #palmfree #ourpositiveplanet #sustainableliving #sustainability #greenliving #goinggreen #zerowaste #plasticfree #diy #homemade #frugal #diysoap #natural #fragrancefree #shoplocal #antimicrobialresistance #antibioticresistance #farmersmarket • • • • 📷 AMBASSADOR @mer_wilson #positiveplanet #ourpositiveplanet #zerowaste #positivity #hope #globalgoals #halifaxzerowaste #zerowastecanada #sustainableliving #goinggreen #halifaxblogger #halifax #toronto #torontoblogger #blogger
