"Mummy, do ants have goggles?" 🐜🐜🐜
"No! Why do you ask that?"
"Because a drop of water is like a swimming pool for ants!"

"Mumma, why are there ants all over the dead bird? Do they think, 'Mmmm this is a tasty treat!'?" 🐜🐜🐜

What gems have your kids come out with when they get up close to nature?

When we marvel at the natural world, we are halfway there towards protecting it 🍃

🐝World Bee Day! 🐝

Bees hold a unique place in our hearts. They are crucial to the survival of our ecosystems. This drawing by my 6-year-old reminds us to bee happy about bees!

We could all do with a little less plastic in our lives.

Plastic is not the only option. There are hundreds of sustainable alternatives.

plastic bag ---> cloth
plastic straw ---> bamboo
plastic bottle ---> metal
plastic food wrap ---> wax
plastic freezer bag ---> silicone
plastic cutlery ---> bamboo
plastic carton ---> cardboard
plastic tape ---> paper
plastic in sanitary products —-> silicone
plastic in nappies ---> terry
plastic in glitter ---> bio glitter

... to name a few.

It's Earth Day. Make one switch.

By 2050 there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish if we don’t change our ways.

Like everyone in the entire world, I’ve spent the past few weeks getting to grips with a sudden new reality.

Homeschooling, EcoSouk projects on hold, no activities, a daily average of 5 hours 14 minutes on my phone – scrolling so much I woke up with my fingers cramping, my brother’s wedding cancelled, concern for my gung-ho, 70-year-old parents in the UK and despair that so little of the coronavirus conversation is examining why this has happened and how urgently we need to change our behavior towards other species and our planet.

But lately, I have also loved slowing down, buying less, making do with what I have, being creative, connecting with family and friends, meeting new neighbours, being silly with my kids.

And today these words helped me focus on these positives. I hope they lift you too.

Thank you @sonilaautumn where I first saw this poem by Kitty O’Meara, a previously little-known writer in the US whose reflections went viral and who yesterday told Oprah Magazine, “we can wallow where we are or we can see the invitations”✨ #covid_19 #coronavirus #coronavirusqatar #sustainableqatar #sustainableliving #sustainableworld
