Easy, do-able, down to earth ideas and suggestions for everyone to help save the planet.

If you want to save the planet, but your to-do list is already pretty long and remembering your re-usable coffee cup feels like a Herculean task, then this is the book for you. Covering every aspect of our lives from the stuff we buy and the food we eat, to how we travel, work, and celebrate. This book provides stacks of practical, down to earth ideas to slot into your daily life, alongside a gentle kick up the butt to put your newfound knowledge into action.

Practical tips include unsubscribing from all the tempting emails that drop into your inbox with details of the newest clothing range or the latest sale, and keeping a mug next to your kettle to work out how much water you actually need to boil each time, as over filling kettles costs British households £68 million on energy bills each year.

A gorgeous gift for all ages!

ABOUT THE SAFARI ANIMALS

These animals are made out of pure cotton Khanga. Khanga is the Swahili name for a colourfully patterned fabric that is very popular in Kenya. Women across villages in Kenya typically sow their clothes out of Khanga, or else simply use the original rectangular khanga material to wrap around themselves as a skirt.

The inside of the animals consists of polyester stuffing and their eyes are embroidered with cotton thread. The animals have not been tested for suitability for young children.

Our Safari Animals are all wildlife that can be found in the same environment where they are made! The elephant, giraffe and vervet monkey are the group’s very own designs, whilst the aardvark, lion and rhino are based upon a Funky Friends Factory pattern. Thanks to these patterns, the ladies have learnt how to make new safari animals very quickly.

THE MAKERS

The Buguta Disabled Self Help Group was founded in 2009 by people with physical challenges in the village of Buguta. There are now about 30 members in the group, of all ages and sexes.

The Safari Animals evolved around Mama Leah, one of the initial members of the group, in a wheelchair herself. She started sowing Safari Animals in January 2013. Initially it was only Mama Leah sowing elephants though she soon trained five other ladies and together they learnt how to sow the other animals. The Buguta Disabled Group now has its own workshop in Buguta, which they rent with the money they earn from selling these animals. The animals are now so popular that the ladies have hardly been out of work since they started…

Other ladies in the disabled group know how to weave baskets so Hadithi also buys baskets from them. Most of the weavers in the group are mothers of handicapped children.

This super stylish eco-friendly lead is made of naturally dyed pure hemp - one of nature's strongest fibres that makes a really strong fabric. It is hand washable at 30 degrees, and gets softer with each use and wash. The longer you have it, the better it gets!

The fittings are gunmetal. This lead will stand up to years of use.

It comes with a matching hemp collar, both with contrasting colour detail.

Hemp is one of the most eco-friendly materials available as it is an extremely fast growing crop, producing more fiber yield per acre than any other source and needs little water and no fertiliser or pesticides to thrive.

Sizes:
The lead comes in two sizes.

Width: 2.5 cm

Intro

These handy baskets are one of our most versatile eco-friendly products.

Handmade in Brazil, these baskets are a stylish storage solution.

Our baskets are crocheted with t-shirt cotton yarn and work well for toiletries, kitchen utensils, makeup, jewelry, and so on!

What? Recycle T-Shirt Cotton Yarn?

T-shirt yarn is the easiest and most forgiving crochet medium. T-shirt yarn is also known as "tarn" and T-Yarn. It is made of leftovers from t-shirts. This is because the cotton has been well worn and perfectly soft and still durable, and just slightly stretchy.

This lovely, biodegradable dishcloth two-pack will bring a smile to your kitchen :-)

 Looking after your cloth

• To help keep your cloth free of nasty bacteria, keep it as dry as possible between uses.
