Consumer Choice – Do You Really Have One in Today’s Climate of Austerity?

I wrote this over 4 years ago. The problem we have as we did 4 years ago is that so many more people have been forced into poverty around the world that making the right choices in what we consume is nigh on impossible for those on the budgets they have so they are forced to consume the most planet damaging products.

Some of us remember the good old days. Must be I’m getting old. When did buying soap involve it being wrapped in plastic that then finds its way into the oceans and we end up eating it because it is now in the salt, tuna and the anchovies that for some reason we feed to chickens and pigs?

The environment isn’t the only thing that is screwed. Why is it cheaper to end up eating plastic then to buy the soap unwrapped? Because this is the way that multinational corporates do business. I always thought that they were no good for us and how much proof do we need.

We did buy this soap at Planet Organic on Saturday. How did we get it home? I put it in my backpack. It made it smell nice but I suppose with a bit of thought I could have taken a bag with me to stop that happening. Unfortunately, Faith in Nature is quite expensive compared to the corporately wrapped soap in the corporate supermarket. You can see where I’m going with this. So for all those people just about scraping by they have to purchase the soap in the supermarket and eventually they and their children will be eating the wrapping. What great progress we have made as a species.

How to Save the World – Part 1

A return visit to something I wrote a couple of years ago and yep we’re still refilling that egg box in the photo. We all need to change.

Posted a year ago or so. While it’s great that the UK government is making a move to get rid of single use plastics we can still do our bit and stop using so much packaging. It’s not hard.

Trying to make a difference. These days convenience is the cheapest way to buy items in terms of money but the most expensive in environmental damage. This is one of our old egg boxes that we have been buying eggs in for years but unless you have a farmer’s market or a small shop that sells loose eggs at a reasonable price then the average person will be buying these boxes and recycling them if we are lucky every week from one of the large supermarkets.

So how do we change that without all the supermarkets complaining that it will cost the consumer more? Of course they are not going to lose out. In the UK as we know they are screwing farmers where they can and as the dopey and very greedy boss of Sainsbury’s was caught out singing recently, “We’re in the money”.

So, it will have to be the big and bad state getting involved again to force business and individuals to do the right thing because there will always be people, many people probably who won’t do the right thing even if long term it affects their health and that of the their children. It’s not about asking people for an extra 5p for every egg box they use, it’s about reducing the need to have many egg boxes produced because everybody brings their own egg box when they shop. I think our egg boxes still have some life left in them.

Just bee friendly V1B C – organic cotton T-shirt

A T-shirt from our Scientist and Philosopher range. Just bee friendly V1B C design for children. Bees are very important to us with our human centric views and few realise how much of the food we eat is all down to the hard working bees and the less well known pollinators. We need to stop using pesticides in the search of producing ever cheaper food and learn how to deal with the human species environmental footprint. This means living sustainably and that means finding a sustainable number of human primates that the planet can support at any one time.

Based on a Teemill image. Check out how these products are made using organic cotton. We need to live in not just a sustainable way but one that causes the least environmental loading on the planet. You can even send these items back to be made into new things when you have finished with them.

Freedom of the seas V3B C – kids’ organic cotton T-shirt

This is our Freedom of the seas V3B design.

Sharks are an integral part of marine ecosystems being a top predator and without them systems can collapse. Unfortunately they have a bad reputation in some ways because they dare to be in the water where humans want to surf. Considering they have been in the water for 450 million years who are we to question their right to remain there? They are killed slowly by the people who cut their fins off for soup and traditional medicine, a very large market in China. The number of deaths registered to this horrific practice is thought to be between 73 and 100 million each year. This needs to stop and we need to change. One from our Scientist and Philosopher range.

Based on a Teemill image. Check out how these clothes are made using organic cotton. We need to live in not just a sustainable way but one that causes the least environmental loading on the planet. You can even send these items back to be made into new things when you have finished with them.

Where did all the ice go – organic cotton bag

* UK Freepost weekend from evening of Friday 9th of September to Sunday 1st of October on all our Teemill products *

An organic cotton bag from our Scientist and Philosopher range. There is currently a crisis with the world’s large ice masses. In the Arctic the loss of sea ice could lead to the extinction of polar bears. The melting is all due to humanity’s burning of fossil fuels and the loss of ice can lead to a feedback loop since ice reflects more radiation than does the darker open water.

Women’s scoop neck Rewild and give nature a chance V1B – organic cotton T-shirt

A T-shirt from our Scientist and Philosopher range. Nature is under attack as the human population shows little sign of stabilising. During the last two centuries or so since the start of what humanity calls progress of the industrial revolution we have grown from 1 billion in 1800 humans to 7.79 billion in 2020. We have hacked away at forests and ecosystems with no thought to sustainability or the future of ourselves or other species and ecosystems. Controversially, this time is called the Anthropocene, the sixth great extinction in this planet’s long history. We need to learn to live within the bounds of the finite planet and that means moving humans out of places and turning them back into wilderness. Why? Because we are too many and we have taken too much.

This is the link to the T-shirt itself, https://junagarh-media.teemill.com/product/women-s-scoop-neck-rewild-v1b/. Also available for children, as a unisex design and printed on a bag.
