What's you favourite thing about being outside? I What's you favourite thing about being outside? I have two. The first is simply the wonder of its beauty. The trees. The grass. The wildflowers. The big blue sky. The second is watching my daughters in their element. Kids seem to be born with an innate connection to nature.

And to learn from their joy. #naturekid⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ If you've never watched my old land tour and want to see this same wild little girl - but even littler - you can do so via the link in my bio!

Even in your poo 💩 I meant to post this not-so-fun factoid from @greenpeace a few weeks ago, but I'm glad I didn't because now I can combine it with their recent article about the 120 scientists, doctors and academics who recently released a statement saying:⁣ ⁣ "Reuse and refill systems are an essential part of addressing the plastic pollution crisis and moving away from a fossil fuel-based economy... The COVID-19 global pandemic has triggered a discussion of how to ensure the safety of reusable systems in a public health crisis. Based on the best available science and guidance from public health professionals, it is clear that reusable systems can be used safely by employing basic hygiene."⁣ ⁣ Basic hygiene, folks. That's it. Let the reusable bags, containers and packaging recommence! Read more about what the experts are saying regarding plastics and the pandemic via the link in my bio.
