Circular economy is a very popular concept right now and a hot topic in the media. For the profanes, circular economy is a new economic system that replicates nature with its endless system. One species’ waste becomes others food and energy is provided by the sun. Once someone dies nutrients return to the soil and is a system that works!! It’s been doing it for millions of years. Instead, in our current system is linear economy, in which we produce – consume – dispose. Every time we do so, we consume resources that are limited and increase the amount of waste in our landfills.

December 17, 2018Christmas has turned into the time for consumerism, and as avoiding gifts seem almost impossible. Here, I have created a list with some great sustainable alternatives to give away this Christmas.
There are many things we have to take care of during our everyday life. For that reason, our brain automated some of our actions. Is a way to safe our mental energy for more important or newer things. But on this automated state is very hard to question our actions.

Since I started this blog, my awareness about the plastic epidemic has grown. I try to avoid its use as much as possible. One of the easiest way to prevent its consumption is through our grocery shopping habits, not just escaping the plastic bags by the supermarket’s till, also throughout the purchase process. In the big supermarkets most the items are packed, making it very hard to avoid plastic. Actually, it’s being proof, that when implementing plastic-free policies in the supermarkets, such as charging for the plastic bag, the use of plastic at the till reduce, while the thin plastic bags available at the fruit & veggies section increase… Which is so sad!
