\"\"<\/a>One of the aims of my Redbubble online shop<\/a> is to offer sustainable gifts.<\/h3>\n

From collecting cans from neighbours when I was little (I got 1p per can from the recycling companies!) to promoting campaigns aimed at festival goers taking their tents home,\u00a0sustainability has always been an issue that I have been\u00a0passionate about.<\/p>\n

I often watch shows produced by the wonderful David Attenborough and have a little cry inside at humanity, and\u00a0wonder what can I as one small person in a population of billions do to improve the planet? It’s easy to feel helpless. And so I decided to do what comes easiest to me – design.<\/p>\n

I decided to help tackle the problem of single use plastic bottles and take away\u00a0coffee cups from ending up in landfill and the sea. No mean task I hear you cry! But with the average person buying 175 bottles of water a year I decided that should one person (just one!) decide to purchase\u00a0one of my reusable bottles, I could have potentially saved the planet of over\u00a05,000 drinks bottles being produced and disposed of\u00a0over a 30 year\u00a0period. That’s bonkers.<\/p>\n

In addition to this, the sustainable gifts that I produce are printed on demand and so don’t need to be stored in massive warehouses, and so if nobody wants to buy them, then that’s not a problem either. I also donate 10% of profits from these gifts to environmental charities.<\/p>\n

My side hustle isn’t just about keeping me entertained in the dark days and nights of lockdown. It’s also one woman’s attempt to do a little bit of good and keep the David Attenborough dream alive \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
