When did you last create something?  A pirate ship in the clouds, a wolf profile out of the shadow of your hands, a line in the sand, a ballerina from a poppy.

19 tactics to use your cloth bags at the checkout and remain sane

Plastic bags are not biodegradable.  They float down waterways. They fly off rubbish bins, garbage trucks and landfills.  When they degrade through exposure to light, ultra-violet rays turn the plastic brittle.  They then break down into small, toxic particles that continue to pollute soil, air and water.

Simple things …

... to lighten our footprint

Cloth bags and simple items to help us change our ways

... to create memories

Ephemeral scents, seasonal crafts, small gifts that create memories

... to explore

Wherever the thread takes me

How I see things:

I am Kate.  French native, creative, introvert.  I am on a journey to leading a life that is less wasteful. More ethical.
