Guest Post by Amanda Rootsey.
Here’s a nice short video for you with some really simple tips to reduce your impact on the planet. There are so many little things that we can do, sometimes we just need to be reminded. It’s totally up to us what sort of world we create for the future kiddies to enjoy.
Do you have any more tips for reducing your impact on the planet? I would love for you to share them in the comments below!

My worm farm reduces my waste volume and gives back great fertiliser. Everyone should have one!
Sounds great Nigel! We were looking at getting a worm farm not long ago but we’ve been moving around quite a bit so don’t want to rush in to it. 
Great tips, thanks Amanda!
It’s definitely a great thing that the popularity of Vintage is growing
xx
Thanks Yvette,
I know what you mean, the more that all things ‘vintage’ grows in popularity, the more beautiful options we have and the less we feel the need to buy something new. x
Thanks Amanda for the tips and reminders. My tip (which is part of Amanda’s number 5) is to use soap over the plastic soap dispensers. A very small change but it has a huge impact. I would love to use the lovely soap dispensers that everyone seems to be using but I can’t justify it when a cake of soap washes away to nothing.
Thats a great point, Josephine, thanks for sharing! We use cakes of soap too but I have been considering buying a soap dispenser…I guess even if you get a pretty reusable one you still have to buy plastic containers each time you need more – now I’ll stick with regular ol’ soap!
Great tips! I always love getting new ideas for how to be more eco-friendly!
Thanks Jamie, glad you liked them! Looking forward to checking out your site..
GREAT! Simple, but really practical things for people to implement into their daily lives. I am downloading the ‘Livestock’s long shadow’ article now! My husband is doing a masters of international urban and environmental management. We are becoming very interested in the reality that our footprint on the earth matters, and what we personally can do to make a change. Going to buy the hubby a re usable coffee mug asap!
Cheers
Wow Jessica, your husband’s Masters degree sounds really interesting. I’ve been looking at a grad diploma in Sustainability recently…it’s incredible what we can study these days! x
yeah wow! Sounds like an interesting grad dip! Who does this go through? I would be interesting in maybe doing this in a year or so after I finish teaching. Very interested in local sustainability and community building stuff in regards to the environment.
Great tips – yupp. However we can still eat meat and be environmental by hunting or fishing ourselves, so long as we are not wasteful and we hunt respectfully and sustainably. If governments (led by big food companies) relaxed the rules on selling wild meat we could purchase from the “village hunter”. The food poisoning thing is a myth – we get thousands of cases of food poisoning even with the rules as they are.
Hey Ian, thanks for your comment. I agree, in terms of environmental practices, it is the way we factory farm in such a huge capacity that is burdening the Earth, whereas years ago it wasn’t such an issue. These days, even feeding the billions of animals that we raise for food each year is diverting edible grains from starving people – we actually grow enough edible grain to provide 50% more than is required for every person in the world & the world’s cattle alone consume enough food to feed 8.7 billion people (more than the world’s population). Personally, I don’t think you can kill another being in a ‘respectful’ way and I certainly couldn’t go hunting and kill something (even fish) with my own hands so to ask another person to do this for me doesn’t seem right either. Much easier to be vegan
