A day in Old Town, Nice

My recent trip to France was a very last minute plan. The opportunity came up 3 days beforehand and I decided to go for it. When you cut out travelling…

SWIPE ➡️ to see what I did with these carrot tops! 🥕🥕🥕
.
I bought a lovely bunch of carrots today at my local food co-op (@thedublinfoodcoop 💚) to use in a butternut squash & carrot soup, and I was about to throw these carrot tops away when I stopped myself and asked - is there something else I could use these for?
.
I remembered seeing a recipe for carrot top pesto, so I looked it up and less than 20 minutes later, I had pesto! It was perfect for a Sunday snack on crackers, especially paired with some hummus.
.
Reducing waste in the kitchen sometimes requires a little creativity, but the results are almost always delicious!
.
Have you made carrot top pesto before?

Do you want to take up more sustainable fashion habits but don't know where to begin? Start by working with what you already own. There's so much in our wardrobes already that often don't see the light of day, so give them a chance. You'd be surprised what outfits have been hiding in there all along! ⠀
.
Switching to sustainable fashion doesn't have to mean spending lots of money. It can mean spending no money - the most sustainable item is the one you already own.⠀

Last month I left Canada and returned to Ireland, but not before one last adventure in Banff, Alberta. It was such an incredible experience to get to be in the mountains at winter time. I learned a lot over my year and a half in Canada, but more than anything, it showed me the beauty of our natural world and reminded me how important it is to protect it.

I take all these lessons home with me to Ireland, and I will keep learning to live in a way that's kinder to our planet. Looking forward to continuing to share my journey with you in 2020!

If you’re trying to figure out what to get people for Christmas, some things that can help them live a more sustainable life can be a great idea. However! This is only sustainable if it’s something they actually need, or you feel for certain that they’re going to use it. If someone already has a travel mug, there's no need to buy them a KeepCup.
The best way to find out if they need something is to just ask them. Think about their day-to-day life, decide if a sustainable product would actually be useful to them, and only get it if you think it will be used.
Get more tips in my blog post, the link is in my bio!
Are you giving out any sustainable gifts for Christmas this year?

Let’s talk fast fashion. The fast fashion industry is one of the dirtiest industries in the world, impacting the environment, vulnerable communities, and workers throughout the supply chain. But what exactly is it that makes fast fashion so bad? I published a blog post this week to get into it (link in bio).
.
.
.
Everything from the kind of materials used, where the clothes were made, how they were made, and what you end up doing with them when you no longer want to wear them can contribute to the carbon footprint of a piece of clothing. It’s important to think about the journey our clothes go through and what this means for the planet, long after we’ve gotten rid of them from our wardrobes.
