Mud
Building a house mainly from mud is probably the most enjoyable and healthiest thing I have ever done. Not only were we covered in lovely mud on a daily basis, but we were inhaling all sorts of natural fauna. I can honestly say that getting down and dirty is good for the mind and body!
Pesticides
Taking care of our health is essential. Although we cannot avoid breathing in certain chemical pesticides, we can minimise our intake by washing fruits and vegetables properly before use.
Food waste
Food waste thrown in landfills does not decompose naturally, or return to the Earth as beneficial nutrients, because it lacks the proper conditions. Instead, it rots and produces methane, which is 25 times as potent as carbon dioxide.
Recycling Used Coffee Grounds
Every year, humans generate around 23 million tons of used coffee grounds. That’s roughly the weight of 470 fully equipped Cunard Line QE2 ocean liners. Before you throw your used coffee grounds into the bin, let’s look at ways we can reuse them.
Carbon Sinking
Carbon sinking is a HUGE topic. We can sink carbon into the earth and also into the sea. Too much carbon in the sea can have catastrophic effects. A prime example of this can be seen in the way that the coral reefs are being affected. So how can whales help save the planet?
