Why being Eco-friendly is more affordable than you think

Why being Eco-friendly is more affordable than you think

by Lyn Lapworth

How it all began In October 2020 a friend of mine made a comment about how she thought being eco-friendly was expensive. This was a real light bulb moment – there and then, I knew I had to do something to prove otherwise. I had 2 young children and as a family...

Its oh so quiet.... I'm fully motivated, have my Its oh so quiet....

I'm fully motivated, have my goals set and I'm ready to get stuck in to 2026.

My plans for this year are to help more people than ever make small changes to every day habits....

So the to-do list is long.

However, I can't help but stop and wonder how my kids are doing on their first day back at school...

Anyone else feel the same?

What kind of environmentalist am I? Most definite What kind of environmentalist am I?

Most definitely an imperfect one.

Let's be honest, society isn't set up to make it easy for us to be more eco-friendly is it?

When life is busy, we have 101 things to juggle, a household to run, fitting in time to do 'all the research' can feel out of reach. And which companies can you really trust anyway?!

The overwhelm is real.

So let's break it down. I'm a firm believer in small simple steps.

✅️ Trying to avoid plastic packaging completely is virtually impossible, but it is possible to reduce it.

✅️ Going vegan may seem too much of a stretch, but switching out 1 meal a week feels more achievable. And if that feels to hard, try a vegetarian recipe first. 

✅️ Avoiding flying probably feels hardest. We crave sunshine, a break abroad, relaxing on a foreign sandy beach...and right now the appeal is stronger than ever. Some winter sun would be very welcome.

We have a whole host of countries just across the sea, accessible by ferry or eurotunnel. Why not make the most of the fab train network across Europe, or hire a motor home so you can explore different places without having to unpack and repack several times? 

Or better still, stay in the UK!
Global warming is affecting our climate, so we are seeing hotter temperatures- booking a UK based trip can save money too.

So don't put so much pressure on yourself to be 'perfect' - living more sustainably is much more accessible by taking 1 small step at a time.

My RAMP up your Sustainability program helps you do just that.

You show up to 1 online call a month, and benefit from all my support in between. 

Forget being greenwashed, forget feeling overwhelmed,  forget feeling the guilt that you could be doing more.

Lets take those Realistic Affordable Manageable and Practical changes to everyday habits.

Doors are open now for my March intake.

Drop me a message for more details...

Too much of this news goes unnoticed, so here are 3 stories to brighten your day.

🐢 The once endangered green turtle, has seen a remarkable resurgence thanks to decades of conservation efforts.

☀️ Solar and wind power overtake coal as the world's biggest generator of electricity for the first time.

💷 A decade on from the Paris Agreement, and the link between GDP and rising emissions is starting to break as an increasing number of countries are slashing CO2 emissions while their economies continue to grow, debunking decades of climate-blocking progress.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg!

The world is changing. Are you keeping up?

A huge thank you for your support and interest thi A huge thank you for your support and interest this year. 

It means the world.

We've ended the year at the illuminations at @blenheimpalace - a truly magical experience.

Looking forward to making new memories in 2026.

See you on the other side! 🎆
There is a more sustainable option for everything There is a more sustainable option for everything we buy.

Making a choice that's kinder to our planet isn't as complicated as you think....

And can often save us money. Really!

Its just a question of being more conscious of the choices we make.... and  striving for progress over perfection.

Looking back at some of the gifts we bought and received over Christmas, its really not rocket science to make a choice that's more eco-friendly. 

Buying Preloved is easier than ever, and doesn't just apply to clothing. 

🫶 The likes of @vinted and @ebay_uk offer all manner of preloved items... 90% of our clothes are preloved, but we also buy books, games and even footwear - all of which saves us money while buying better quality brands that will last longer.

I'm also a fan of supporting ethical brands and good causes.

🫶 This bag was bought at a bag swap organised by the fab @sortedbywendy to raise money for charity, but you can always head to see what treasures are available at your local charity shops - or check out their website. 

🫶 @tropicskincare is 1 of my favourite beauty brands, primarily as there are no harmful chemicals in their products that will then be absorbed in to our skin! They also donate huge amounts to good causes.

🫶 The green hair wrap was bought from a gorgeous small UK business @goodwashday - supporting small local businesses is another easy win.

🫶 And if you have the skills, sending homemade gifts tick the box of eco-friendly options too, so why not think about what you can make, or a skill you'd like to learn.

By making slightly different decisions, we can all be a little more eco-friendly- and potentially save money too.

Is this in your plans for 2026?

My standout moment from this year is a feeling tha My standout moment from this year is a feeling that will stay with me forever.

The reaction after the talk I delivered at this years @sociallyshared conference was astonishing, heartwarming and actually quite surreal.

"You were the talk of the toilets"

"Someone put this woman on stage FULL TIME"

"You were one of the best speakers of the day...what an absolute beautiful human you are and an inspiration "

"You were superb, just as I knew you would be. Keep standing up and talking and sharing your wisdom because people are really listening"

I was stunned.

And the main reason for this reaction?

I welled up on stage, twice - in front of 100 women, many of whom I knew.

The theme of the talks was ambition so I chose to speak about how it had never been my ambition to run my own business. It had definitely never been an ambition to stand up on stage and speak in front of audiences.
But then I became a mum.

Knowing about the impact we were having on our planet and what that could mean for my children had lead us to live an increasingly sustainable lifestyle.

But hearing about the barriers others were experiencing - too expensive, overwhelm from too much information, fear of greenwashing, not enough time to do the research etc. etc.

So I did the thing I'd never intended on doing - start my own business. And my mission to simplify sustainable living has since led me to speak in public.

And on this particular day, in front of so many amazing women, when I mentioned my children, I welled up.

Unbeknown to me, half the room felt my emotion and welled up too.

When I look back at the phenomenal line up of speakers at that event and think about the reaction after my 10 minute talk, I'm genuinely humbled.

Its not just a highlight of my year, its a highlight of my entire time as a business owner.

No. 2 slot goes to the time I got to spend with so many wonderful humans at the @homelifeandyou show.

My first ever public appearance was at this show 2 years ago, and I'll be forever grateful to show director @pennymoyses  for taking a leap of faith in me.

This year, I was on the speaker line up both days - and can now add yet another claim that I couldn't ever imagine I'd make....

I was on stage directly after the global icon that is @mariekondo - a real pinch me moment!

But this show is so much more than an opportunity to share my passion - it's a particular highlight because of the people involved in the show. 

Everyone involved in putting the show together are just the most gorgeous people you can imagine.

It's been so exciting seeing the show evolve over the 3 events I've been a part of and I cannot wait to see where it goes next year.

Each year it gets bigger and better!

So mark 17th and 18th Ocotber 2026 in your diary and join us at the Excel to see what you've been missing.

I may well see you there. 😉
