Sustainable Goals Challenge 2021

Published by

Earlier this year, my friend Hannah Reid (check out her blog here) nominated me to take part in the Climate Challenge 2021. I took some time to think about my goals for this year and how I could be realistic about achieving them.   Here are my sustainable goals for the Climate Challenge 2021:   1. More sustainable fashion. Lately, I have been shopping up a storm online. I have a personal rule, that if I do buy clothing online or in stores locally then I donate clothing to local thrift stores. However, I could do more, by simply reducing my online shopping to fewer occasions to none. I do make every effort to support sustainable fashion brands whenever possible. Truth is, I don’t really need anything new. I plan on purging a bunch of clothing from my existing wardrobe.   2. Less takeaway lunches and dinner. It really hit me the other day all the packaging from ordering in dinner for Family Dinner Night or ordering in lunch on long days at work. So, now I would like to …

Sage Larock: Sustainable Swimwear Re-Releasing The Chateau Swimsuit

Published by

Sage Larock is Re-Releasing their sustainably made Chateau Swimsuit on 15th November (America’s National Recycling Day) to raise awareness about ocean pollution and ghost nets.  The ethos of Sage Larock is to redefine and redesign fashion to be sustainably and ethically made for the betterment of our environment.  Their commitment to ocean conservation is the driving force behind inspiring their swimsuit collections.  Sage Larock uses sustainable fashion as a platform to raise awareness about the plastic pollution crisis and the impact it is having on our oceans.  Plastic impacts nearly 700 species in our ocean, ranging from plankton to whales.  Seabirds and sea turtles often mistake plastic for food which can result in dire consequences.  Plastic has been found in more than 60% of all seabirds and in 100% of sea turtles species (Ocean Conservancy).  Even coral reefs are affected by plastic.  When plastic debris becomes entangled on coral it starves corals of vital oxygen and light, and releases toxins enabling bacteria and viruses to invade  (UN Environment Program).  Furthermore, ghost nets are also a …
