Last week we blogged about getting nostalgic so when I across this little idea it was quite serendipitous!
What about swapping your cordless phone for a traditional corded variety? These phones are infinitely more stylish than a new fangled one, don’t require a separate plug-in for electricity and don’t use energy all day long. It’s a no-brainer for any stylish home-owner!
p.s. – It just goes to show if you hang on to anything long enough it’ll come round again!
Thanks to tiny choices.
Saving paper. I could go on about using both sides of the paper, creating your own scrap paper book, writing very small….
or
I could introduce you to Yoyo’s Ceramic Notepad!
Ceramic Notepad has been sculpted initially from plaster, moulded and then made entirely out of clay. This smart jotter can be used to make those lists or leave little notes for your loved ones.
Supplied with a special pencil to write on the ceramic with, wipes or washes off easily, and believe me, it is most satisfying to write on the glazed surface with these waxy pencils (simple pleasures!) The hole through the top not only mimics a spiral jotter but also keeps the pen and pad together for convenient use.
Also for use with dry wipe markers or even permanent markers – they just wash off with water.
Picture a bottle of ice cold water. Now imagine it filled a quarter of the way up with oil.
That’s about how much oil was needed to produce the plastic bottle. Makes you think doesn’t it? And that’s before we get onto the problem of recycling the empty bottle, it can take a plastic bottle up to 450 years to decompose in landfill. (The number of plastic water bottles sent to UK landfill sites each year would fill Wembley stadium twice over.)
So, to look stylish, save money and do your bit why not use a steel water bottle? Steel bottles are BPA free (whereas plastic ones may not be) and while the controversy over BPA rages stick to the infinitely cooler steel alternative. One Green Bottle has some gorgeous bottles, as has Cool Green Attitude.
Thanks to National Geographic and Which for the stats.
