🌎Today is the start of the global climate strike, with millions of people taking to the streets around the world .
🌎 I am so proud of everyone taking part and using thier voices to protest and bring awareness of climate change.
.
🌎The biggest demonstration near to us is Birmingham, at Victoria Square at 11am, but there is also an service in at Lichfield cathedral today involving schools and local churches and groups.
.
🌎Not everyone is in a position to go along or strike today, but consider going along on your lunch break, or just showing support anyway you can.
.
🌎These people are striking for our future and for the future generations. If you can't get to a protest, then I urge you to just spend a couple of minutes today to research the strike, climate change or the work of the extinction rebellion and reflect on anything you can do as an individual to contribute to a better planet for the next generation ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
.
🌎Lots of businesses are closing today, to go to the strike or just show support, and I truly admire their conviction. Our shop will be open today, With Jo working. I won't be there as I will be at the cathedral service
🥪Plastic free lunchtime.....
.
🌎It's really easy to make your lunchtimes plastic free, here are a few of the things we have to help 😊
.
🍴These bamboo cutlery rolls are fab, they contain your cutlery, including chopsticks, a bamboo straw and cleaner. They are really compact when rolled up, so easily fit into your handbag or lunchbag. Even if you are going out for lunch or having a takeaway, take your cutlery roll instead of using disposable cutlery you might get given! .
🥪Wax wraps (these ones are vegan made from rice bran) these are a great alternative t clingfilm or foil for wrapping your food in or for covering dishes. You simply mould them around your food/container and use the heat of your hands to warm them so they stick. They can be reused again and again, simply wash with cool soapy water. Then at the end of their life you can cut up and out in the compost.
.
☕ Reusable cups and bottles, a really easy swap. We have these @wearejedz bottles and @huskihome rice husk cups, which I love.
.
🌎 I haven't put lunchboxes or bags on here (we don't sell any😂)
There are some fabulous stainless steel and bamboo lunchboxes out there, which I would be happy to stock if people were interested 😊
