This September I continued with Plastic Free July.
Participated in Zero Waste Week 2019 and Climate Action Day.
Received my certificate for Future Learn MOOC, Fashion's Future
and the Sustainable Development Goals.
This month I continued with Plastic Free July and invested in a bamboo toothbrush, an organic loofah, organic laundry softener and soap nuts

Soap Nuts
Soap Nuts
Soap nuts are Organic Laundry Detergent
They are 100% Natural and Biodegradable
Instructions: Use 5-7 soap berries for a full load of washing.
Place the bag and berries directly in the washing machine with all your laundry.
Soap berries can be re-used 5-6 times and then disposed preferably in a composter.
Soap berres do not produce much foam.
Use warm water for washing clothes or soak the bag with berries before placing in the washing machine.

This is my humble effort to reduce my plastic consumption and waste for Zero Waste Week 2019, Dubai and the United Arab Emirates.
Day 1 of #ZeroWasteWeek, I'm sharing and supporting a fantastic social enterprise called #ENABLE.
Many thanks to my husband for purchasing an ethical b'day gift this year.
Any advice from gardeners regarding how to keep my succulent alive would be appreciated?
ENABLE is a UAE National social enterprise based in Dubai.
Enable empowers special young Emiratis with cognitive disabilities by enrolling them in extensive entrepreneurial program.
The skill set delivered will hopefully "enable" individuals with such special abilities to start their own retail units and therefore achieve individual financial sustainability.
We offer beautiful indoor plant arrangements using quality #succulents and #cacti sourced from national and international well-known suppliers.
As a social enterprise, 100% of ENABLE products will be used to fuel its retail operations with 15% of each product sold will go back to the employee who created it to empower their abilities.
