Hey @Starbucks! If you can bring back reusables in Hey @Starbucks! If you can bring back reusables in Europe, the Middle East and Africa... Why not EVERYWHERE?!⁣ ⁣ Did you know that Starbucks is allowing the reuse of coffee cups in stores in some countries around the world, but not in Canada, the US and the majority of other countries?⁣ ⁣ While bringing back reusables in a few countries is a start, it's just that - A START. ⁣ ⁣ Scientists have said multiple times that reusables are perfectly safe - even in the midst of a pandemic. Starbucks is a hugely influential company and they need to lead the way back to a more sustainable way of life.⁣ ⁣ Sign the petition telling Starbucks to bring reusables back worldwide over on #greenpeace.

What are you going to miss most about the summer?⁣ ⁣ This is how my kids eat lunch these days. They eat a few bites. Go jump in their kiddie pool. Eat a bit more. Go swing on their play set. If they're still hungry we pull a few carrots from the garden and eat them with a bit of dirt still clinging on.⁣ ⁣ Ahhh... summer. Why you always gotta go and end? ☀🌱 ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ If you haven't seen my video about starting our garden this past spring, well look at that the link is in my bio 👆
"Put people first and leave no one behind." - IISD "Put people first and leave no one behind." - IISD Green Strings Principle No. 7⁣ ⁣ The last of IISD's principles for a #greenrecovery is the one that is far and away the most important.⁣ ⁣ Because TRULY putting people first means also putting the planet first.⁣ ⁣ We've got it all backwards. People and the environment are NOT separate entities with separate best interests. ⁣ ⁣ We are one and the same. People are the planet. The planet is people.⁣ ⁣ We should be able to not just peacefully coexist - but thrive TOGETHER.⁣ ⁣ Yet somehow people have stopped putting each other first. Instead we put money first. Power. Our egos. Our possessions.⁣ ⁣ If you only take one thing away from the IISD's seven green principles - take this one.⁣ ⁣ 🌱 Help each other.⁣ 🌱 Plant trees. ⁣ 🌱 Listen to people even if you feel you have nothing in common. ⁣ 🌱 Grow food.⁣ 🌱 Share food. ⁣ 🌱 Share love.⁣ ⁣ Share love for each other and for our planet. It's the only one we've got 🌎💚

It features some very cute photos of my very own preschooler. Link in bio! #teachinglittles 🌱
