SAVE THE PLANET

If you make one change this month,
make it this…
Not so long ago, reills were commonplace. It was
second nature to leave your empty milk bottles on the
doorstep to be reused. But as plastic took over our high-
streets, they fell out of fashion. But thankfully, they’re
making a comeback. Zero-waste shops are popping up
around the country, giving customers the opportunity
to ill their own containers with rice, pasta and other
essentials. If you’re one of the growing number of
people in the UK looking for alternatives to the
relentless cycle of plastic consumption, Faith in Nature
(faithinnature.co.uk) is proud to present its reillable
product stations with a ‘reduce, reuse, recycle’ ethos.
“A pioneer in clean, green beauty, we’re encouraging
customers to reuse their 100 percent recyclable bottles,
rather than disposing of them and repurchasing new
ones,” says its brand manager. “So, take a more
sustainable approach to your buying habits by swapping
out single-use products for items that can be reilled over
and over again.” Take a look at our ‘3 of the best…
reillable products’.

A GREEN REFUGE

Sometimes you just need to recharge your batteries.
Thankfully, there’s no need to ly somewhere exotic –
you can ind your peace and quiet in your own home.
Choose a spot where you can sit undisturbed, even if
it’s just for 15 minutes. Partition of the space with a
couple of big plants with sizeable leaves. With them,
you can instantly create a foliage partition that murmurs
‘this is a stress-free re-energising zone’. Particularly
suitable greenery include: areca palm, monstera, yucca,
asplenium crispy wave and spathiphyllum. These
fabulous plants will do a brilliant job of sheltering
you – but that’s not all they do. As you sit hidden
behind the leaves, you’ll discover they bring a sense of
wellbeing. This is because they release oxygen, giving
you new energy as you breathe in the clean air. You’ve
surrounded yourself with peaceful, living things that
demand nothing of you apart from water. Can you
feel your shoulders starting to relax? We thought so.
