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...

I'd like to introduce you to someone... I've know I'd like to introduce you to someone... I've known this lady a few years now - and from the first time I heard her speak, she made an impact on me. Her story is incredibly powerful and she's living proof that the work she does makes a genuine difference, so she now uses her skills to help others. I'm thrilled to share the Meeta Darji is joining me this Friday at 1pm for our Free online session on Future Proofing for you and your Business. Here's why @naturallynourishedwithmeeta uses a science backed method you may never have heard of- Ten years ago, I was involved in a horrific car accident that had a huge impact on my life. In the aftermath, I experienced panic attacks, intense anxiety and overwhelm, and at times it felt like fear was taking over. I discovered EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), or 'tapping' and it was incredibly powerful for me. It helped me calm the panic, regulate my nervous system and process the emotional impact of what I had experienced. Most importantly, it gave me my life back. That experience was so transformative that I trained to become an EFT Practitioner, and it has become a fundamental part of the work I now do. Today, as a Mindset & Mental Resilience Coach & Speaker, I help people navigate fear, stress and uncertainty by giving them practical tools to regulate their nervous system and change the way they respond to difficult circumstances. And I think that is particularly relevant when it comes to climate anxiety. We can't individually control what is happening to our planet and we can't predict exactly what the future will look like for ourselves, our children or future generations. But we can learn how to hold those fears without allowing them to overwhelm us. What is EFT? EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), or tapping, is a science-backed technique that helps calm the body's stress response and shift the emotional intensity around thoughts, beliefs and experiences. If you're feeling a little helpless, not knowing what to do about the rising fear you have about our changing climate, this was created for you. Please join via the link in my Bio. It's too important to miss, a recording will be available afterwards.
Honestly! I tried to post this last week, but IG d Honestly! I tried to post this last week, but IG decided it didn't want to share the words I spent ages preparing for you. So this little guy is back - along with the actual goodness I wanted to bring you! Here's a vital reminder there is progress on climate and nature issues being made, we just don't get to hear about it. 👉 France has started imposing fees on fast fashion items which could reach almost €20 per garment by 2030, as the government tries to curb sales of cheap clothing sold by e-commerce sites. The French minister Mathieu Lefevre said the "harmful effects of ultra-fast fashion" on the environment and economy were "well known". 👉 A former dairy farm in North Somerset, England, is to be transformed into a new climate-resilient wetlands and nature reserve by a wildlife charity. Ebdon Farm near Wick St Lawrence has been purchased by the Avon Wildlife Trust after the organisation received a £5m grant from The National Lottery Heritage Fund. The trust stated that turning the nature-depleted 44-acre site into a haven for wildlife represents the largest initiative it has ever undertaken. 👉 The population of the world’s heaviest parrot, the much-loved kākāpō, has surpassed 300 birds for the first time in 75 years, after a record breeding season triggered by the mass fruiting of a native New Zealand tree. Please share these with anyone who needs a little pick me up. Thank you.
In times of disaster, look for the heroes. I can' In times of disaster, look for the heroes. I can't remember when or where I first heard this phrase, possibly after the 7/7 attacks in London, but these words have always stuck with me. So, to remember that day, 25 years ago, when nearly 3000 people lost their lives, I wanted to share this story, of Rick Rescorla, who single handedly stopped that figure from being so much worse. British-born retired Army officer Rick Rescorla worked in the south tower of the World Trade Center. He had been work­ing at the north tower when it was bombed by terrorists in 1993 and had helped people evacuate the damaged building then. Rescorla believed a similar attack could happen again—and that the next time might be worse. After the first plane struck the north tower, Rescorla used a bullhorn to order everyone in his office to leave. His co-workers knew exactly what to do—Rescorla had been practicing safety drills with them for years. To keep people calm in the stairwell, he sang the same songs he had once crooned to cheer up his fellow soldiers during the Vietnam War. Rescorla led nearly 2,700 of his employees to safety before the towers collapsed. But he wouldn’t leave until he was sure everyone had escaped. Rescorla was last seen on the 10th floor of the south tower head­ing upstairs, looking for more people to save. His body was never found. This man will always be a hero. Remembering all the victims, 25 years on.
Something a little different from me... I'm talki Something a little different from me... I'm talking money. More specifically if carbon was money, so bear with me... We know how much money we have in our bank accounts. We know how much money we have to spend and we budget accordingly. Well, we also know how much carbon we can 'spend' before putting ourselves in real trouble. And let's just say, we're at the end of our overdraft. And very soon, we'll start incurring extra charges. It all sounds very bleak doesn't it? And I'm not going to lie, I'm sh*t scared. But what matters now, is that we reduce how much carbon we spend as quickly as possible. Every single 'pound' of carbon saved matters. If you're waiting for the signal to start panicking it's here. It's now. And you absolutely must translate that panic in to urgent action. At the weekend, I watched a gorgeous documentary called Power Station. The film documents the actions of 1 couple who decided to turn their street in Walthamstow in to a power station. Their aim was to crowdfund to raise money for solar panels. It's a story of resilience and tenacity, but also 1 of community spirit. It's the perfect reminder that we don't see the actions others are taking. We've no idea just how many of our colleagues, friends, even relatives are taking steps to reduce their impact. Power Station is a powerful watch - and may well be just the inspiration you need. And as soon as you're ready to take action, come and talk to me. Let me help you avoid the overwhelm. Forget the thoughts of 'where do I start?' 'what difference can I make? and ' I probably can't afford it anyway' The reason I called my business ECO for ALL is because I firmly believe every single 1 of us can make a difference. So let's do this. Now. Drop a 💚 in the comments and I'll get in touch to set up a conversation. Always remember, you are part of the solution. #doyourbit #doyourbitfortheenvironment #timetoact
Let's talk rubbish. For the last 8 years, I've b Let's talk rubbish. For the last 8 years, I've bought as much as I possibly could from my local zero waste store. Aside from it being more affordable than you realise (you're not paying fancy packaging after all) - you're able to just buy the quantities you need, meaning you waste less money throwing away out of date food. And the customer service is always next level. These independent small businesses are run by incredibly helpful folk so it's always a pleasure shopping from them. But ultimately, the main reason they set up business, is to help us reduce the amount we throw away. According to Statista we each throw away around 400kg of rubbish each year. The contents of your bin has to be collected and is then either dumped in landfill, or more frequently now, sent to be incinerated. We pay for this service - for our plastic waste to be burned. Why wouldn't we do what we can to just throw less away? This week is officially Zero Waste week, surely the perfect time to seek out your local zero waste store and experience the friendliest customer service there is? And before you go, save a few cereal bags, bread bags or spread tubs to bring back your goodies in - these are much lighter to transport home before decanting in to jars. Let me know how you get on. #zerowasteweek #wasteless #zerowaste
Let me introduce you to your brain. Your brain is Let me introduce you to your brain. Your brain is there to protect you. In simple terms, it's sole purpose is to keep you alive. So, instinctively, we avoid anything that feels big, difficult, or overwhelming as our brain perceives this as dangerous. For many of us, this is why the idea of trying a vegan diet or reducing the amount we fly feels too hard. It seems big. This is why my approach of making small changes to everyday habits work. We won't be focusing on the big scary stuff. I won't ask you to switch to a vegan diet or stop flying - while these are important, I focus on helping you make changes that will stick, changes that seem small but build up over time. And because they stick, you're confidence increases, so you feel ready to look for the next change, then the next. If taking that first small step still feels hard (there is sooo much information out there right?!) then we need to talk. If you've made a few changes and those good intentions have slipped, we need to talk. If you've started making swaps to a few more eco-friendly products, but aren't entirely sure if they're the right choice, we need to talk. Please drop a 💚 below and I'll send you the details for my RAMP up your Sustainability program. All the support you need, and loads of support you didn't know you needed, in Realistic, Affordable, Manageable and Practical steps. #simplesteps #smallchanges #neuroscience
80 years ago today, a legend was born. Faroukh Bu 80 years ago today, a legend was born. Faroukh Bulsara. At 18 yrs old he and his family fled their home country of Zanzibar and came to the UK. Faroukh became Freddie Mercury. I've ways been fascinated by him, not least because he was a man of many contradictions. An introvert who spent years living a rather wild and colourful life. A rock star who's all time favourite singer performed opera. A gay man who's love of his life was a woman. He was always be best remembered for that gig though. The 20 minutes that sealed Queen's status as icons. Live Aid. Freddie simply stole the show. His rare 4 octave vocal range was used to it's full advantage and his ability to connect with the audience used to full effect. He was a master of his art. And he wrote some of the most anthemic songs in history. I'll always be sad I never got to see him perform Live. I have seen Brian and Roger perform with the Foo Fighters. I've also seen them perform with Adam Lambert a couple of times, where a projection of Freddie joined Brian briefly. This is the closest I'll manage. Happy 80th birthday Freddie. A man impossible to forget. Do you have a favourite Queen song? #queen #happybirthday #gonebutnotforgotten

Well today was a day! Today was the culmination Well today was a day! Today was the culmination of the Corporate Method program, run by the powerhouses that are Carol Deveney MAPM and Lisa Johnson. If you've been in my world for a while, you'll know I've been wanting to take my knowledge in to businesses, specifically to share ways employees can make simple sustainable changes around the home. With climate anxiety on the rise - 1 in 6 of us - and this figure is from before this summer, taking action is the route to reducing the feeling of overwhelm. Knowing where to start, what makes a difference and how to do it affordably allows employees to feel more in control. I've been aware of all this for a couple of years, having been approached by 2 forward thinking businesses asking me to share realistic ways their employees can make a difference, yet I haven't moved this part of my business any further forward. The dreaded inferiority complex had kicked in. This program came along at the perfect time. I was ready. Ready to invest in myself, ready to take the business in to a completely new area and ready to share my ECO Wellbeing sessions with larger groups. We all now have a much clearer idea of how the UK is being impacted. We know urgent action is key. If you're working for a business who understands the value of investing in it's employees, please pass on my details. Climate anxiety is on the rise and I'm passionate about sharing simple ways we can all make a difference. A massive thank you to Carol, Lisa and all the incredible ladies and gent I shared the day with. #mentalhealth #employeewellbeing #climateanxiety
Who'd like a sneaky peek? Today, I'm putting the Who'd like a sneaky peek? Today, I'm putting the final touches for an upcoming webinar Tech Talk - Simple ways to Reducing your Digital Footprint. It's easy to forget the impact of our virtual storage on the planet. The name alone suggests your files are simply floating around in the ether. However, they aren't. And they're not stored in an actual cloud either. Everything you store virtually sits somewhere in a data centre - meaning the more you accumulate, the higher your carbon footprint. Data centres cause huge environmental issues. They clearly require vasts amounts or energy to power, but also ridiculous amounts of water to keep them cool. There's even an issue of noise pollution. So what can you do? Well, you'll have to join me and the queen that is @iamhollynixon on Monday 7th September at 12.15pm. This 1 off Lunch and Learn is absolutely free to join (recording available if you can't make it Live) Come and discover just how many simple ways you can reduce your footprint by tweaking your tech habits. The link to join is in my Bio. 👉 #digitaltips #reduceyourimpact #simplewaystoreducecarbonfootprint
Created for you... The doors are currently open Created for you... The doors are currently open for the next intake of my RAMP up your Sustainability program. RAMP is my signature program, created to share realistic, affordable, manageable and practical changes to everyday habits. It's for you if you've started making eco-friendly swaps but don't know what to try next. It's for you if you think you can't afford to live more sustainably. It's for you if you're just feeling overwhelmed about how to make a difference. It's definitely for you if you've felt a creeping sense of anxiety over the extreme weather events we're seeing. So what can you expect when you sign up to RAMP? 👉 More confidence in identifying genuinely eco friendly brands 👉 The knowledge you CAN make a difference - and every decision counts 👉 A transformed mindset about how easy and accessible making sustainable changes really is... 👉 Which all results in a reduction in your anxiety over our changing climate. Climate anxiety affects at least 1 in 6 of us (from a study taken before this unsettling summer) - and a large element of this is due to feeling helpless. This massive global issue is out of our hands, yet likely to impact every aspect of our lives, from insurance costs and food prices to safe holiday destinations and health concerns. It's only natural to feel like you can't make a difference. Not on your own. Which is why I run my RAMP up your Sustainability program in group format. The thought of being the only person that's making changes goes completely out of the window. By focusing on the things you CAN control, by feeling like you're doing something constructive and by feeling like you are part of something much much bigger, climate anxiety is reduced. So yes, RAMP is better for the planet AND better for you. Drop me the word IMPACT in the comments for more details. #ecoanxiety #ecofriendly #ecofriendlylifestyle
Let me tell you a story... Around this time 6 yea Let me tell you a story... Around this time 6 years ago, we were preparing for my youngest to start school. We'd not long come out of the first Lockdown so it was a slightly anxious time. He settled in well, so my thoughts turned to what kind of work I'd go in to. The obvious choice being a teaching assistant. However, within a month, 1 conversation changed the course of my life. I was having a conversation with another school eco mum, when she declared she was finding a little expensive trying to make the more eco-friendly choices. The conversation was specifically about organic food, however the sentiment stuck with me I knew I could help. So I did the thing I never thought I'd do. After weeks of trying to talk myself out of it, I started my own business. Knowing there was more I could share, I sat down and basically did a brain dump. Every helpful tweak, every brand recommendation, all the small changes to everyday habits that would save money wherever possible. It was all written down. I collated these notes in to logical categories - and the first version of my RAMP up your Sustainability program had taken shape. We cover topics such as Energy saving, Cleaning and Laundry, Clothing and Homeware and Recycling - however I've since added in my unique Personal eco shopper service. All clients have access to me for help and advice when making purchases, so I can guide them on how and where to do their research. This builds up their skills and reduces the likelihood of them being greenwashed. Watching the transformation as we work through the program is a source of huge pride. The increase in confidence is evident on their faces when we reflect on how far they've come. And without realising, by the end of our time together, they have developed a new mindset. One client has called RAMP life changing. Doors are currently open for the next intake. Drop RAMP in the comments and I'll send you the details. Time is of the essence. 💚 #ecofriendlyliving #ecofriendlytips #ecofriendlylifestyle
