Sometimes you just have to stop and smell the mush Sometimes you just have to stop and smell the mushrooms ๐Ÿ„ (botanist for a day job, not a psycho I promise) Autumn is beautiful. Remember to stop and appreciate it in-between everything you're doing this week ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‚
The effects of the climate crisis aren't being fel The effects of the climate crisis aren't being felt evenly. Across the world, the poorest people and indigenous communities are feeling the effects of climate change the most even though they often contribute to it the least. We got to this point because out political and economic system is built on inequality and injustice. As rich governments and oil companies make decisions for the world during @cop26uk that have their interests ar heart, the rest of us can contribute to system change from the ground up. We need climate action that works for all of us, not just the people with the most money in their pockets. If you're keen to get involved, head over to @cop26coalition to find action happening near you! #cop26 #actionforclimatejustice
LETS TALK CLIMATE ANXIETY Is anyone else finding LETS TALK CLIMATE ANXIETY Is anyone else finding their climate anxiety at a high right now? All eyes are on Scotland right now and the country is buzzing about COP-26 in Glasgow which began last weekend. I'm so happy that the climate crisis is getting so much media coverage but with increased coverage comes heightened anxiety for our planet and the species we share it with. Any tips for alleviating climate anxiety? Or channeling it into something more positive? Please share! #glasgow #cop26 #scotland #discovenyblog #discoveny #climatecrisis #climateanxiety #globalwarming #sustainabletravel #sustainabletravelblog

๐ŸŒ A LITTLE UPDATE ๐ŸŒ Hello! Things have been ๐ŸŒ A LITTLE UPDATE ๐ŸŒ Hello! Things have been busy here recently. So busy I haven't written anything for WEEKS and my presence has been a little lacking. Here's what's been going on. 1. We bought a flat! Every spare second is eaten by renovations, DIY, and trying to source stuff secondhand to be kinder to the planet (but it sure does take time!) 2. Uni started again. Goodbye summer, hello long dark nights in the library stressing about one essay after another 3. Life started again! I forgot how busy I used to be before we all went into a pandemic. Real life, real friends, real hanging out just takes priority. So yeah. That's where I'm at. I hope everyone's doing fine. Drop me a message, let's catch up! โ™ฅ๏ธ
๐Ÿ‚ HIKING REMINDER ๐Ÿ Autumn is here. Are we ๐Ÿ‚ HIKING REMINDER ๐Ÿ Autumn is here. Are we going to stop enjoying the outdoors? Of course not! Hiking is the best. But please check yourselves and pets for ticks once you return. Keep an eye on any tick bites once you remove the little critters and if you start to get a red rash around the area, contact your GP! Sincerely, a hiker that recently had a Lyme Disease scare and spent the last three weeks on antibiotics #hiking #hikescotland #scotland #scottishhighlands #visitscotland #visithighlands #lymediseaseawareness #discoveny #discovenyblog #travelblog #sustainabletravelblog
Happy International Coffee Day! Ahh coffee... fo Happy International Coffee Day! Ahh coffee... for many of us there's no better way to start the day. Coffee is a huge part of my travel habits, tasting beans from around the world and finding extra energy to make the most of my travel time. But how do you make your coffee more sustainable? โ˜• One easy thing is to bring a reusable cup. This is more eco friendly as it stops us making so much waste. But have you thought beyond that? โ˜• Use a coffee press! I use my @aeropress and have done since I was 18. This is a much more eco friendly solution than electronic coffee machines or coffee pod machines which create a lot of waste. โ˜• Choose fair trade. Fair trade is an ethical certification that requires business to pay a fair price for the coffee beans they buy. This means communities benefit and aren't exploited. โ˜• Support certified B corporations. They have super high standards for ethical and sustainable production. We like @coaltowncoffee! โ˜• Compost your coffee grounds and filters, they're great for your plants! Are you a coffee or tea person? What's your favourite way to make your coffee more sustainable? #internationalcoffeeday #coffee #sustainablecoffee #sustainabletravel #travelblog #discoveny #discovenyblog #ecotravel #ecofriendly #slowtravel #drinkmorecoffee
