While drinking tea is often associated with holistic medicine and eco-friendly lifestyles, tea bags can be harmful to the environment. “Many tea drinkers are blissfully unaware that the tea bag from their daily cuppa is sealed using plastic,” Co-Op Food CEO Jo Whitfield explained to The Guardian.
Even though it’s a relatively small amount, when you consider the 6bn cups of tea that are brewed up every year in the UK, we are looking at around 150 tons of polypropylene—that’s an enormous amount of accumulated plastic waste that is either contaminating food waste compost collections or simply going to landfill. Fortunately, an increasing number of brands are turning to sustainable tea bags.
Spring into KINDNESS AND SHINE your BIG HEART on the world.
Now more than ever we all must come together to shine our kindness on our planet and all our natural resources.
This month in honour of springtime and Earth day on April 22nd, we at IDareU2bee.com are DARING you to be mighty, happy and GO GREEN! From practicing reducing what you use and buy, reusing things that you would throw away and recycling EVERYTHING POSSIBLE. Spring is a time for new life and new opportunities, and now you have a GIGANTIC OPPORTUNITY to show the world your KINDNESS.
This month we are acknowledging amazing leaders who are advocating for environmental justice, sharing creative ways you can turn waste into useful products and bringing some SHOCKING AWARENESS about some things you MAY NOT KNOW about how our choices can negatively impact us and our PLANET. Our goal is to share with you some facts so you may be inspired to SHINE YOUR KINDNESS ON THE WORLD.
P.S. Our founders @audrey.hlembizky and @alanna.carr__ will be taking on these activities with you! So feel free to share your experiences as they want to hear!
