Homemade Mason Bee House with Sunflowers Stay tuned for a follow up photo when the sunflowers are blooming! The solitary mason bees won’t have far to go to collect pollen! And when they are done with the sunflowers, they have a whole pesticide- herbicide-GMO- free field of wildflowers to feast on. Currently on the menu are Queen Ann’s Lace, wild parsnip, daisies, Black-eyed Susans, almost flowering goldenrod and...lots of other flowers I still need to learn the names of. And then, there are the vegetables and gourds, luffas patiently standing by, waiting to be pollinated Spring 2019, they will be
Shout Out to conservation biologist Mariana Fuentes, who is helping to save endangered sea turtles. Hoisting hundred pound plus sea turtles up from the water and onto a boat, she tags them, which allows her to map habitat and distribution in the Bahamas, where she is currently working. Cheers for the Bahamian government which has pledged to set aside 20 percent of its marine environment as a protected area So grateful for everyone who is helping with animal, habitat, Ocean (all bodies of water), land and wilderness conservation Photo by Matthew Ware @natgeo #naturaltreasures #seaturtle #seaturtles #endangeredspecies #marineconservation #Bahamas #protecttheocean

SALT Dear friends, When buying salt, choose one that has been harvested from unpolluted mountain areas that are millions of years old found in Peru, Pakistan or Central Utah, USA. Do you know why you should not buy sea salt anymore? Sea salt is taken from oceans whose waters have become progressively more toxic from plastic waste (micro plastics) and other pollutants. The United Nations stated: “The presence of microplastic in foodstuffs could potentially increase direct exposure of plastic-associated chemicals to humans and may present an attributable risk to human health” Posted in the PW tips in the current Summer

In my kitchen garden, I hung up this Solitary Bee Nester to provide a safe haven for and to attract non-swarming bees like the Orchard/Mason Bee. These non-aggressive solitary ‘friendly’ bees do not produce honey nor beeswax. They are excellent pollinators, and raising them helps sustain our food supply. More about Mason Bees in an upcoming blog post.

Summertime, and the dryin is easy Loving letting the sun dry my laundry, especially these beloved pillowcases from Les Indiennes. Line drying is gentle on clothes, and they just smell so good when I bring them in! I think the wind did the job of the iron too. No wrinkles Line drying laundry conservés energy and helps to protect the environment by saving precious fossil fuels. @les_indiennes #priscillawoolworthphotography #clothingline #dryerline #naturalliving #simpleliving #dryclothesoutside #summertimeandtheliviniseasy #ellafitzgerald

Welcome to the Almanac Newsletter, an e-quarterly in which each issue celebrates innovations in Sustainable and Innovative Designs, Game-Changers who are creating and inspiring positive change, Eco Films that entertain and enlighten, Artists and Authors who are inspired by nature, Plant Based Recipes, a monthly Organic Gardening Calendar, as well as empowering readers to become informed consumers, by turning their purchasing power into a powerful tool for change. Attention is given as well to a Group or Organization that endeavors to arrest, contain, or reverse environmental damage and preserve our natural world for future generations.
As the public becomes increasingly aware of global warming and the unhealthy repercussions of heedless consumption of environmentally harmful products, people are more and more choosing to commit to greener, healthier lifestyles. We are all learning how to make conscious choices that reduce our use of natural resources and ideally serve to protect and sustain them.
Welcome also to my book titled LOLA, Lots of Love Always, which is aimed at young women but is a good read for everyone. It shows how to live a sustainable lifestyle and make healthy choices that are good for you and the planet at large. You are welcome to read the LOLA Blog, which has been archived on my site.
