Do you offset your carbon footprint?

Not everyone knows that while we are stuck in the current consumer culture there’s still a viable solution for each of us to go carbon-neutral with a carbon offsetting option. 

What does it mean? 

Carbon offsetting means that you can buy an equivalent amount of environmental services to neutralize the carbon emission you produce.

There are many organizations around the world (mostly, of course, in Europe) that help you calculate your emission and distribute the funds to various environmental projects – from small groups to huge initiatives – in every corner of the planet. 

Carbon offsetting has become a market in itself and has grown tenfold in the last decade and a half. This means that we now have multiple choices to fit our budgets and support the projects we feel are more important. 

Here are a few organizations to look at if you think about offsetting your carbon emission:

✅ CarbonFund.org
✅ Verra
✅ Plan Vivo
✅ Gold Standard
✅ Climate Action Reserve
✅ American Carbon Registry
✅ Conservation.org
✅ CarbonFootprint.com

While we are still at the edge of the climate crisis and feel like we have little influence on the necessary global change we must remember that each of our voices matters. Even if you are a regular Joe there are three things you can do that will have a major impact on global sustainability: 

👉🏻 Reduce your waste where you can

👉🏻 Advocate for environmental legislations

👉🏻 And offset your carbon footprint.

❓Can you practice Hygge sustainably?

✅ The short answer is yes, absolutely! Hygge is not about consumerism and you can practice it sustainably.

🏠 Since last year our notion of “home” has evolved. When offices, schools, restaurants, and gyms closed, for many people their living space became their workplace, classroom, fitness or yoga studio, and more.

❗️At some point, I felt trapped and couldn’t find contentment in my own home. Then I realized that something was missing from my home and my life. Hygge!

❓So, what exactly is hygge?

✨ The concept of hygge can’t be translated into one single word. the author of The Little Book of Hygge: Danish Secrets To Happy Living, and CEO of the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen, says that “hygge is about an atmosphere and an experience. It is about being with the people we love. A feeling of home. A feeling that we are safe.” “The true essence of hygge is the pursuit of everyday happiness and it’s basically like a hug, just without the physical touch,” he says.

🚴 Riding a bike or going for a walk – that’s hygge.

🎥 Cozying up with a loved one for a movie – that’s hygge.

🍪 Turning off your phone to bake cookies with your kid – that’s hygge.

🍲 Sharing a meal with a company of friends and family – that’s the biggest hygge. 

❓What are the ways to bring Hygge to your home?

In March of 2021, Greenpeace USA released its second ranking of 20 U.S. grocery retailers’ efforts to reduce single-use plastics, finding that all of the major supermarkets continue to fail to address the plastic pollution crisis.

But is there we can do as consumers? 🤷‍♂️

There’s at least one easy thing you can do (and the more of us do it the better!) is to write a letter to your local grocery store manager expressing your concerns and suggesting steps toward more sustainable ways.

In our recent blog post (link in bio ⬆️), we offer an easy draft you can use to reach out to your grocery store today. Your voice matters!

We have a pack of 150 (75 white mint + 75 activated charcoal) in a glass jar. It makes for about 2 months of everyday use.

Any major holiday season is the time when a lot of people forget about sustainability and honor traditions over environmental impact. In the US, where this season starts with Halloween and lasts through New Year and the consumer market is strong, people produce 25% more waste over the holidays than any other time of the year. It amounts to 25 million tons of garbage ON TOP of what they normally throw away.

We believe that there’s a way to make your Christmas sustainable while keeping it cozy, beautiful, and trendy and have a little DIY fun.
