On how a spontaneous first attempt at surfing brought out an adventurous, curious side: “I didn’t care about falling. The risk-taker in me was set free, and she was overjoyed. I paddled with all my might, learned to grab the “leash” when my board got away from me, and floated 15 feet from a pod of dolphins. (Though if I’m being honest, for a second I was sure they were sharks.) Nothing could faze me, because among those violent waves, I was totally at peace. Later that night, I swore I could still feel the leash tugging at my ankle, the waves whooshing under my back. I was totally connected to something amazing, and nobody else mattered. My risk-taker was reborn, and this time I’m not letting her get away.” Link in bio for the full article! #surfing #risktaking #curious #adventurous #surf
Author Stacey Harshman of Crowning Glory experimented with how different hair colors can bring about a varying reaction from the world through own curated social experiment. “She wore 4 wigs and spent a week in each. She went to the same places and the same time, but each week with different colored hair. On the 5th week she went sans wig in only her natural hair. Because she couldn’t remain objective in reporting the data she had a spy follow her too, logging all sorts of data ranging from people’s expressions to their comments (said in front of her face most of the time).” Read more about Stacey’s book and reactions via link in bio! #hair #haircolor #socialexperiment #psychology #beauty #redhead #haircare #stacyharshman #wig #brunette #blonde #beautymyths
Which #altmilk has the smallest #co2 and #wateruse footprints? Hemp and coconut mills come out on top. Check out the full article at link in profile. #coconutmilk #hempmilk #almosndmilk #health #eatwell #vegan #vegetarian #ecochick #mylk #sustainablelife
Soy, nut, hemp, and oat are only some of the now commonplace alt milks. Some better for you—and have a smaller environmental footprint too. What’s the healthiest milk for planet and people? Link in profile. In 2018 alone, big dairy lost about 1 billion dollars whereas plant-based milks roughly accrued that. It is undeniable that modern food culture is leaning toward a consciousness and sustainability that was once void in our kitchens. Though hemp and coconut milk seem to have the most positive environmental and physical effects, any milk alternative you choose is far less impactful than dairy. #altmilk #health #foodimpacts #soymilk #hempmilk #coconutmilk #plantbasedmilk #oatmilk #almondmilk #mylk #wellness #environmentalfootprint
If you head to the @fairmontwaterfront Hotel in Vancouver, BC, you’ll find a Michael King, the Bee Butler, and the rooftop where the beehive has been kept since 2008! “The bees forage over 12 square miles and bring back honey from over 60 different species of plants, collecting the Fairmont Waterfront’s largest volumes of honey from blackberry, dandelion, fire weed, clover, cherry and a variety of other #indigenousplants.” Link in bio to learn more! #bees #beekeeper #honey #beebutler #hotel #travel #vancouver #britishcolumbia #beelove #beehive #wanderlust #fairmont #visitbc #ohcanada #canada
When you zoom in on the natural world, you notice its varying parts- the small details that make up the whole. “My time outdoors as a child gave me what I uncreatively call “nature eyes”—something I think all humans once possessed. Of course, some of us still do, and many have much better ones than me—any natural scientist, from geologists to birders have nature eyes with great specificity, and guides in every rainforest I’ve been lucky enough to visit (Costa Rica, Mexico, Australia) see at least 100 times what I can. They are reading the landscape as surely as I read a newspaper, parsing meaning, remembering what came before, tying ideas together.” But with modern, streamlined living, this philosophy becomes lost in what can be defined as ‘Nature Blindness.’ Link in bio! #natureblindness #nature #childhood #outdoors #naturalworld
If you think having your period is expensive here, imagine what it’s like for girls in Nigeria. In our latest piece for Eco-Chick, our columnist @iam_jessica_williamson shares a letter from a Doctor in Nigeria who’s trying to bring awareness to the consequences that a lack of access to maxi pads has on girls in his country. @tampax @seventhgeneration @honest #purposedrivenlife #womensrightsarehumanrights #empowerher #sdg5 #mensturalhygiene @y.e.s.2019
Lack of toilets is a feminist and environmental issue. “A lack of access to adequate sanitation affects more than 2 billion people, with women the most affected. One in three women and girls worldwide don’t have a toilet and spend a total of 97 billion hours each year trying to find a place to relieve themselves. When they do find somewhere to go, they are at risk of sexual assault or rape. And even where toilets exist, they may not be adequate for effective and dignified management of menstrual hygiene due to a lack of privacy, light and space.” Learn about solutions such as non- alternative toilets and how women can make a living from businesses related to waste management.

Biomaterials research group @AlgiKnit has been experimenting with new ways to reduce waste from clothing manufacture by creating biodegradable filaments from a kelp byproduct: “Kelp is one of the fastest growing organisms in the world,” explains Aleksandra Gosiewski, a founding member of @algiknit . “It’s readily available and it’s super abundant. It’s just an awesome organism to work with.” Read more from the link in bio! #biomaterials #algae #biodegradeable #kelp #experimentation #knits #fashion #sustainablefashion #fashiondesign #fashionethics #ethicalfashion #fashiondesigner
