This year's weather wasn't kind to us earthlings. We were not managing well the extreme droughts (as well as extreme floods...). How good we have someone helping us out! The hero of this story is a good old beaver 🦦

Despite a drought in the South West in the UK, beavers have built a network of dams to help maintain an area of wetland in less than a year. Those actions contribute to well being of birds and other wildlife. "It also brings flood prevention benefits and carbon capture within the wetland."

Now, because of their help, and contribution to biodiversity, new government legislation will see beavers given legal protection as a recognised native species in England. What does it mean? Simply, it will be illegal to disturb, harm or kill them. Well done England!

Let's show some appreciation for this hard-working fellow! 👏

Did you know? We can tell the levels of 𝒂𝒊𝒓 𝒑𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 based on observation of leaches! 😮 Lichens are biological indicators of the state of air purity (bioindicators). They are sensitive to even small amounts of harmful substances in the air, such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides.
Look for folious laches to know you are in a good place. 💙🧝🏻‍♂️🪵

Have you heard? The shortly trimmed lawn is no longer required. It's time for 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒅𝒇𝒍𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓 𝒎𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒐𝒘 also in urban areas!

Even a small patch of wildflowers can make a big difference in the ecosystem, providing food for bees and other pollinators. It creates biodiversity, is easy to take care of, and is resistant to drought. And it's looking so much prettier than a lawn. 🌸 🐝🌺

The best period to seed flowers is in early spring, so now is the time to plan and make necessary arrangements. Let's seed some plants for the bees, guys! 🌱

We believe there's nothing more basic in every vegan's fridge than a bunch of hummus!
If you're still mastering the art of homemade hummus, this is the video for you ⤵️

Making incredible hummus at home is easier than you think and SO worth it (as my parents said, store-bought hummus is "just edible."). Written recipe: https...

Have you heard about 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝘆? 🤔
It's an economic model based on the concept of sharing unused or under-used resources and services - for free or for a fee.
Sharing economy is based on the idea of using without the necessity of owning. Although this model is not new, nowadays thanks to technological development it's rapidly growing.

Why it's better to share rather than buy?
● helps saving money
● it's fast & easy
● it's good for the environment

Our favourite examples of sharing economy are Airbnb, Blablacar, Skillshare, city bike rentals. Overall, we believe the sharing economy is a solution to excessive consumerism. What do you think? 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 your thoughts with us! 😊

Did you know? 🧐
Seaweed absorbs more CO2 than trees 😮That's why it has the potential to help save the planet! 💪
Kelp (a type of seaweed) has nutritional value and the ability to absorb and lock away huge quantities of carbon dioxide.
This seaweed improves water quality by extracting toxic nutrients such as nitrogen. Moreover, kelp is considered a high-value source of protein for humans and livestock.
There are at least 4 start-ups using seaweed to help with environmental issues. You can find out more about it here ⇾ https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2021/05/startups-seaweed-farming-ocean-planet-climate/

Any plans on catching up on Netflix? 🎥
➜ 'Seaspiracy' 2021 is our biggest recommendation! It's a must watch documentary about the environmental impact of fishing. 🪝🎣🐟 As humans, we bear responsibility for harming marine species. The main reason is just the industry's lawlessness, corruption and global ignorance.
Have you already watched 'Seaspiracy'? What's your opinion? We would love to hear your voice!

Our new recommendation for a movie night! ⤵️🎬
🐙 'My Octopus Teacher', 2020. 🐙
It's not another abstract documentary about sea life.
It's a beautiful story about the relations between
human and octopus. The life and danger of the
underwater realm, curiosity and high intelligence of
this unknown creature.
It's also amazing pictures and film frame; involving
storytelling and... really touching, cool story! 😌
'My Octopus Teacher' is showing us that education
can be not only about facts and measurements, but it's also about empathy and understanding of the world we
cannot reach on daily basis.

As always, the film is available on Netflix, big screen
for fascinating details strongly recommend! 🐙 🦞 🐟 🦑
