"Your cups, straws and bottles," said Sybil the Snail, "are really bad news for turtles and whales. A bottle that you can refill every day is better than one that you just throw away!" 🐌 Please think of Sybil and her friends this bank holiday weekend when you head off to BBQs, festivals, or to the beach, and bring your own reusables! Don't forget your. . . - Water bottle 💦 - Cup/straw (iced coffee, smoothie, boozies?) 🍺 - Cutlery (camping or kitchen fork/spork) 🍴 - Snacks in a container 🍎 - Long tee/hat (use less sunscreen) 👒 - Cloth bag (it ALWAYS gets used) 🎒 What else goes in your day pack? Don't forget to visit the Blueberry Bay 🌊 crowdfunding campaign (link in bio) to help support Sybil and her friends on their journey! . . . #BlueberryBay #reusablecup #saveourocean #kidlit #reusablebottle #kidsbook #childrensillustration #beatplasticpollution #crowdfunded #refill #plasticfree #saveourseas #noexcuseforsingleuse #sustainable #crowdfunding #saveourshores #childrensbook #oceanguardian #marineconservation #oceanconservation #refill #plasticfreeseas #zerowastekids #ecofamily #ecoparenting #theresnoplanetb #ecokids #reusablecutlery  #plasticfreeparenting #ecowarrior
In case you haven't heard, I'm in the process of publishing a children's book about the dangers of single-use plastic in oceans. If you can spare a moment to check out our crowdfunding campaign (link in bio), I'd really appreciate it! We've already raised more than a third of our goal in 5 days which is pretty incredible, so we're right on track to having first edition books and perks in your hands by late November (in time for a Christmas). Thank you to everyone who has supported the campaign so far! What a whirlwind! . . . #BlueberryBay #newbook #saveourocean #kidlit #kidlitart #kidsbook #childrensillustration #beatplasticpollution #crowdfunded #picturebookart #plasticfree #saveourseas #noexcuseforsingleuse #sustainable #crowdfunding #saveourshores #childrensbook #oceanguardian #marineconservation #oceanconservation #childrenswritersguild #plasticfreeseas #zerowastekids #ecofamily #ecoparenting #theresnoplanetb #ecokids #indiegogo #plasticfreeparenting #ecowarriors
"Hilary Heron was first to chow down On all of the funny stuff floating around And Pamela Plaice was happy to eat, And Pico the Puffin was stuffin' his beak!" One by one, illustrator @leighjdavies is bringing the characters of Blueberry Bay to life! If you're able to support us, follow the link in the bio. The sooner we reach our goal, the sooner you'll have freshly pressed books in your hands! #BlueberryBay #newbook #saveourocean #kidlit #kidlitart #kidsbook #childrensillustration #beatplasticpollution #crowdfunded #picturebookart #plasticfree #saveourseas #puffin #environmentart #environmentbook #saveourshores #storybook #childrensbook #oceanguardian #marineconservation #oceanconservation #childrenswritersguild #plasticfreeseas #zerowastekids #ecofamily #ecoparenting #theresnoplanetb #ecokids #plasticfreeparenting #ecowarrior
It's really happening! Today is the first day for orders of my new book, Blueberry Bay. I've been wanting to publish my seaside story for going on two years, and finally decided to take the plunge. The start up costs for a high quality picture book are simply too high for me to cover independently, so I've decided to use @indiegogo to raise funds in advance through pre-orders and perks. I've set the goal at £3000, but this doesn't even cover the entire cost of illustration/printing (turns out, publishing a book isn't cheap!) - the remainder has come out of my savings. It's a real labour of love, but I hope if the campaign goes well, I'll make enough to break even and fund an educational book/concert tour next year so I can tour the country teaching kids about the problem of single use plastic in oceans. If you'd like to get a feel for the book, check out the promo video which features clips from the audiobook, and concept sketches by illustrator @leighjdavies. Thanks to everyone who has already offered their support, and to those who have been sharing and raising awareness for the campaign. Be sure to check out the link in my bio for more info. I can't believe it's happening! 🤩 🐟🌊🦀🐡🐠🐧🐚🐙🦑🦈🦐 #BlueberryBay #newbook #saveourocean #kidlit #kidlitart #kidsbook #childrensillustration #beatplasticpollution #crowdfunded #greenparenting #plasticfree #saveourseas #indiegogo #saveourshores #lowwasteliving #saveourshores #storybook #childrensbook #oceanguardian #noexcuseforsingleuse #oceanconservation #childrenswritersguild #plasticfreeseas #zerowastekids #ecofamily #ecoparenting #theresnoplanetb #ecokids #plasticfreeparenting #ecowarrior
A bouquet of black. These brushes are made from black plastic that cannot be recycled. The comb I borrowed (stole) from my Mom about 8 years ago, the Denman I've had for for 5, and the other two for at least 3. I didn't know at the time of purchase/theft what I now know about the problem of plastic pollution. But now that I AM aware, I also know that the best solution is to USE WHAT I HAVE. I'd love to replace these with a lovely instagramable bamboo eco brush - but that would just send more unecessary waste to landfill much faster. I am grateful that I am a stickler for buying quality (I also clean them regularly) so my brushes are still in perfect condition and show no signs of wear after years of use. They'll probably be kicking around 'til the end of time, so I'm going to try and get as much use out of them as possible Buying green is great, but using what you already have is better! P.S. if you're wondering why I have 4 . . . In addition to the teasing comb which only gets used about 10 times a year (though I use the tail weekly to clean my other brushes 🙈) I have a separate wet shower brush and dry brush (so I don't smear conditioner back into my clean hair), and the little one lives in my gym/travel bag. It works 🤷‍♀️ #reuse #saveourocean #marineconservation #sustainableinfluencers #beatplasticpollution #lowwaste  #zerowaste #plasticfree #saveourseas #saveourshores #buywellbuyonce #circulareconomy #oceanguardian #oceanconservation #plasticfreeseas #zerowastekids #ecofamily #ecoparenting #theresnoplanetb #ecokids #plasticfreeparenting #ecowarrior #lowwastebeauty #zerowastebeauty #minimalism #usewhatyouhave #useitup #wastenotwantnot #nobuy
