NEW ON THR BLOG: The Problem With Microfibers, their impact on the environment and how washing our clothes is part of the problem!
_
Microplastics are born from the breakdown of larger plastic materials, namely water bottles, plastic bags (by the way: on average, only used for 12 minutes!), and synthetic clothing. When plastics meet a natural environment (like wind, heat from sunlight, crashing waves), they break down- but not in a good way. Instead, they break down and a whole lot like food for sea life, and also carry toxins into waterways.
By definition, microplastics are plastic particles which are less than 5 millimeters in size. If you can’t visualize 5 millimeters, pull out 5 of your ‘plastics’ (credit, debit, ID, etc), and stack them flat. Or, look at a single long-grain rice, which is a little bit bigger at around 7 millimeters.
According to The National Geographic series Planet or Plastics?, between 4.7 and 12.8 MILLION metric tonnes of microplastics enter the ocean from coastal regions around the world annually. From there, microplastics are tiny enough that they look like food to aquatic life, and many of those same species look like food to us. Research continues on how that may affect humans, but to date, 114 aquatic species have microplastics in them, and over half of those species are regularly consumed by humans. At this rate, there could one day be more plastics than fish in the sea.

Weekends are time for rest! Did you know nature can help you sleep better?
_
Do you notice that when you are at the beach, cottage or camping you tend to sleep better? A big part of that is because we are outside more. Our bodies are meant to come into contact with the earth. Because as a society we are overexposed to positive electrons, from things like Wi-Fi and mobile phone waves having direct contact to the ground gives us a negative grounding charge and allows our electrical energy to balance out.
The theory of Earthing is allowing your body to connect to the Earth’s surface by walking, sitting, or sleeping outside or using a device that can create the same response but while you are inside.
Earthing can be beneficial in:
• Reducing inflammation
• Reducing chronic pain
• Improving sleep
• Lowering stress and promoting calmness
It’s difficult for us to physically get outside sometimes and walk barefoot each day and we’re not sleeping on the ground so now there are Earthing products like mats or bed sheets that you can use within your home. Having direct contact with these products help to balance out your electrical energy and help you sleep better.
_
Forest Bathing is a Japanese practice that is known to reduce stress and is simply taking a walk in the forest. Being surrounded by the sights, smells, and sounds of the forest nature can lower one’s cortisol levels (our stress hormone), and also lower blood pressure and anxiety. True Forest Bathing is physically being in the forest but you can incorporate indoor trees, moss terrariums smells and sounds into your bedroom that can mimic this environment. Bring in natural elements like plants, waterfalls, or any touch of nature into your room.
Or you can include a diffuser with essential oils at bedtime as the perfect addition to creating your natural bedtime routine.

Does this resonate with you?

WHY IS MENDING YOUR CLOTHES IMPORTANT?
_
I’m starting to repair my clothes because I realised there is a lot of work and skill involved in making clothes. It takes a long time. I began to appreciate the skill and effort all these anonymous people put in making the clothes we buy. IF you want to make people understand why $4 for a T-shirt is not the right price, get them to make an item of clothing.
