How did I save water yesterday?
Yesterday I decided it was time to clean my fish tank since it was pretty dirty. When I had finished I had to get rid of the water, but instead of throwing away the murky water I poured it in my garden for the plants to drink. The fish's compost will also provide nutrients for them and the soil.

Fashion as Slow as a Turtle: Sustainable Fashion that Saves our Ecosystems.
Sustainable Slow Fashion—or should i say suuusssstaaainnableeeee sllllooooooowwwwwww fassssshhhhiiiiooooonnnnn—is defined as the need to 'focus on more durable products and traditional production techniques or design concepts that have no season emphasizing quality in order to achieve sustainability' (Domingos et al. 2022, p.1).
If you have ever heard of the following terms, you will probably already have a basic understanding of what 'slow fashion' means...
Sustainable fashion ♻️
Ethical fashion 🌏
Thrifting 👖
Circular fashion 🔄
The slow fashion movement attempts to show 'the importance of sustainability to fashion industry partners' (Domingos et al, 2022, p. 9)—like Nike or H&M, for example—whilst also trying to change the everyday consumer's values around their purchasing decisions.
For a fashion industry partner—more commonly known as a fashion label—there are four guiding principles that help these labels qualify as sustainable that reads as follows:
#1 Items must be child labour free across the supply chain.
#2 Materials utilised within the production process should be less harmful to the environment, recycled, upcycled and/or more durable.
#3 The production process must be ethical and socially responsible, paying workers fair wages and help create jobs in the country of origin by producing locally.
#4 The allowance of negotiation for fair prices and wages that fosters the creation of sustainable fashion.
Put simply, for all you new business owners:
Be. Nice. To. Your. Employees.
Be. Nice. To. Your. Planet.
The Environmental Impact of Fast Fashion
The goal of fast fashion companies, as Mehrjoo and Pasek state in their production research journal, is 'to produce the most amount of fashionable and trendy apparel in the shortest amount of time, so consumers can keep up with the fast and ever-changing trend cycles and want to consume more products' (Mehrjoo & Pasek, 2015, p. 101).
Anyone with any critical thinking skills at all can see that particular fast fashion philosophy is simply not sustainable. At all. Not for the employees making those garments. Not for the customers continuously trying to keep up with trends. And especially not sustainable for the environment.
Martina Igini writes on earth.org that '92 million tonnes of textile waste is produced every year' (Igini, 2022). Which, to put it into perspective, is as if a 'rubbish truck full of clothes' (Igini, 2022) is dumping textile waste in landfill sites every second. 92 billion kilograms of textiles waste. E V E R Y S E C O N D.
That's a lot. Like... a lot a lot. Not like an alot, but a LOT, you know?
At the end of the day, we—as humans—need to look after each other and the soil we find ourselves living on with more intentional care. We don't have a planet b.

People always ask how we know where the eggs are. The tracks aren’t too hard to follow! Adult loggerheads are a couple hundred pounds, and their trail is 2-3 feet wide. The secret is getting out first thing in the morning before other beachgoers obscure the tracks. #sea #turtle #conservation #florida #doyourpart #darkbeaches #fillinholes #savetheturtles (at Marco Island, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cgey8parxyL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Reposted from @halfhazardpress Well as ole @billystrings finishes up an epic 3 Night run we hope you party pirates in St Aug had a blast! This was our first Collab with long time bud and illustrator @loganschmittillustration and we are pumped on how it came out! Not everyone knows just how much of a challenge it can be when two artists, both with different processes and styles, try to make it work. It's a beautiful thing when that blends together just right and we're gonna be looking for excuses to do more! Also huge shout-out to the man who never sleeps, Dan Black at @landlandcolportage for being a wizard in modern days. This was a 3 way tie for excellent humans making it happen!

More headcanons because the brainrot is so real.

ACOTAR HIGH SCHOOL AU
VELARIS HS - Home of the Warriors
🪡🐢💐
Elain Archeron character profile
Grade: Sophomore
Sports: Secretly in fencing. Only Rhys knows.
Extra Curriculars: Gardening club, Founder of the “Beautify Velaris” organization, fundraisers, petitions, #savetheturtles
Reputation: Those who know her, love her. Those who don’t, think she’s stuck up but really, she’s just shy. Some are jealous of her beauty, so they make up rumors, but she handles it all with grace. Many respect her for it, others hate her more for it.
Best Friends: Rhysand, Nuala, Cerridwen, Azriel
Relationship status: It’s....complicated?
Elain liked her life before the move, but she knew she could like this new start too. She didn’t mind change, she learned from watching her flowers that change was often good. Though there was one thing she was afraid of changing, the way Grayson felt about her. She wasn’t that far away but he never seemed to want to make the drive. Elain didn’t let herself worry; it’ll be fine!
She will smile through it. It’s how she got through everything. Actually...it’s how everyone thought she got through everything. In reality she was constantly thinking and overthinking. No one noticed, and there was no reason to tell them. No need to worry them and give them a reason to coddle her. She had enough of that.
At the new school there wasn’t a gardening club, so she started one. She found a part of the school that was perfect for a community garden and a small greenhouse.
She’d spend all her time there, and when she wasn’t there, she would be studying. No time for worrying. No time for anxiety. Until Feyre invites her to Rhys’ house for dinner…and that Grayson should come…
