Going the distance

Update 01
So I bought the products to start making my own cleaning products…. I am especially interested in the window cleaner ( with corn starch?) I am quite happy with the natural products I buy so this is a bit of a leap for me, but if they work it will really make a difference in the amount of waste plastic I will produce so it is worth the try. I like the idea of using “grand ma” period products and…
Do you know there is an entire mall in Sweden that sells secondhand merchandise?
Buying second hand is an excellent way to reduce reuse and recycle. Someones trash is someone else’s treasure.

Not everything I tried worked: the first toothpaste tablets I used…
Oh, oh oh, the many things we can do
There are countless well known organizations that one can support financially to help save our environment. In fact the choices quickly get overwhelming but no one has to, or can do this on their own! It comes back again to the notion that one person can make a difference and that there is power in numbers: anything I can do we can do better 🙂 “Nobody but nobody can make it out there alone” Maya Angelou The following organizations do…
