"the Earth Has Music For Those Who Listen"

compliment recklessly! say the nice things that come to your head! we've got better things to do than resisting the instinct to be kind!

The basic, biological ingredients for well-being that our ancestors built into their lifestyles are missing from modern life. Strong relationships, sense of community and purpose, sunlight, exercise, diet, and balanced thinking patterns must be taken seriously.

Aspects of our culture/modern life furthermore set us up for sacrificing these in favour of patterns that facilitate consumerism (staying inside and watching netflix, eating processed foods, isolating ourselves, forming a worldview through social media, anxiously comparing ourselves to others).

Little Ways to Bring Sustainability into Cottagecore. 🍄📚☀️📖☕️

•Make your own bread/baking/food (especially things that can only be found plastic wrapped)

•Make your laundry detergent and dish soap, or buy eco friendly ones

•Buy in bulk with your own containers

•Use glass and metal containers to store things in, as opposed to plastic

•~*C O M P O S T*~

•Buy local and trade with neighbours to keep business small and purposeful

•Reuse, repair, and repurpose old stuff

•Spend more time outside and less time wasting electricity

•Permaculture gardens!!!

•Go thrifting and antiquing before buying new

•Buy cute lil totes (especially from local artists) and stop using plastic bags

•Be mindful of what you’re consuming. Food and fashion wise, and otherwise. Take note of what you truly want or need.

•Hang your clothes on a line to dry

•Learn to hem and mend your own clothing

•Educate yourself on water conservation (especially in gardens)
