Here’s a fave of ours. Use the liquid from your can of chickpeas or your leftover boilwater.
Vegan Mayo:
•3/4 cups of Chickpea water(Aquafaba)
•1 tablespoon lemon juice
•1 tablespoon chickpeas
•1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
•1 pinch of salt (💡to acheive an “eggy” flavour, try Kala Namak Salt )
• 1 3/4 cups of a mild oil
🥄🥄🥄
Reserve chickpea water.
Boil on medium heat for 5 mins.
Blend with chickpeas, lemon juice, mustard, salt and oil, until mixture thickens. Let it cool.
🫙Transfer to an airtight jar. Will last in refrigerator for 1 week.
💡If mixture does not thicken, blend in more oil or simmer mixture for a couple minutes more.

Made in the Kishu region in Japan, Binchotan Charcoal (sustainably harvested branches of Japanese Oak) absorbs impurities from water, while releasing natural minerals into it – resulting in pure, great tasting water.
•
The charcoal is activated through extremely high temperatures in a kiln and then a rapid cooling process.
•
Binchotan charcoal has an alkaline effect, softening and improving the taste of your water.
•
The charcoal can be re-used as water filter for up to 3-4 months.
🌱After that, it can be easily recycled as a deodorizer or broken and placed into your garden, providing nutrients and creating extra pockets of water and air in the soil.

Cotton mesh produce bags are an excellent #plasticfree alternative that are compact, useful and cost-effective.
🍑Store thicker skinned fruits and veggies like carrots, peaches, apples and oranges in a cotton mesh produce bag in the refrigerator.
🧅 Produce like onions, tomatoes, potatoes and garlic thrive in a well-ventilated environment. Hang your drawstring mesh bag in a cool, dark spot or place in a dark corner on your countertop.
🥬 Leafy greens like lettuce, kale and cilantro prefer a more damp environment. Instead of a damp paper towel, moisten the cotton mesh bag. The dampened fabric will keep your produce crisp and fresh longer.
🥑 If you don’t have a paper bag, store your delicate produce like avocados, mushrooms and berries in our cotton mesh bag, in your crisper.
💡Tip: To ensure you are always prepared, keep a cotton mesh produce bag at your front door, in your car or in your shoulder bag.

The perfect summer read for inquiring minds!
*
"Where does it all come from? Where does it all go? Toronto’s water, energy, and waste systems" Written by @ecomarikotoronto a Toronto resident and fellow @gnntoronto member.
*
Many of us do not know where our water or energy comes from or where our waste goes. This Toronto-specific picture book answers these questions for Torontonians of all ages and backgrounds in a simple and fun way. Looking at maps, readers can get to know specifically how they fit into the larger picture.
*
An wonderful educational book to give as a gift, take on vacation or add to your summer curriculum.

Available for purchase online or in-store.

Have you tried our reverse osmosis water on tap?
*
Our @thegreenjar reverse osmosis water machine is connected to our city tap water and put is it through 5, high-pressure filters.
*
These filters effectively remove about 168ppm of heavy metals, medication, bacteria, etc. out of our tap water. The resulting filtered water only has 4ppm! (Distilled water has 2ppm)
*
The taste is light and clean.
This means that your recipes are tastier, soda stream water is more robust, baby food is safer, DIY recipes are cleaner.
*
Drop by today with a clean empty container and try our reverse osmosis filtered water.

It's #PlasticFreeJuly & who on #StClairWest is better to help us reduce & hopefully eliminate our plastic wastage at home, than thegreenjarshop? They're a Package-Free Refillery on a Mission to eliminate plastics!
More than 300,000,000 tons of plastic are produced every year for a variety of uses
Plastic does not decompose in the environment naturally. Instead it is burned, releasing methane & carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect.
Please visit their website for more details - including how to CLEAN the items first & what NOT to bring in.
Thank you to The Green Jar & their partners terracycleca & _earthub too, for making it easier for #StClairWest to reduce, reuse & recycle!

The majority of nail polishes on the market contain multiple toxic ingredients that can be harmful to our health. Many nail polishes contain animal-derived ingredients. For example, cochineal insect pigment is sometimes used to make reds more vivid, or guanine crystals, from fish scales or chameleons, are used to add luster and shine in cosmetics.

To provide a kinder option, BKIND’s nail polishes are vegan, 77% plant-based and 21-FREE, meaning they are free from 21 toxic ingredients normally found in nail polishes. Now you can enjoy beautiful colored nails while respecting animals, the environment and yourself!

Summer Solstice, when the sun is directly over the Tropic of Cancer, "...marks the official beginning of summer in the Northern Hemisphere, occurring when Earth arrives at the point in its orbit where the North Pole is at its maximum tilt (about 23.5 degrees) toward the Sun, resulting in the longest day and shortest night of the calendar year. (By longest “day,” we mean the longest period of sunlight hours.) On the day of the June solstice, the Northern Hemisphere receives sunlight at the most direct angle of the year.
In the Southern Hemisphere, the June solstice marks the beginning of winter. "
We hope you are celebrating today. Here are some solstice ideas:
-Celebrate (safely) with a bonfire
-Take a walk in nature
-Set positive intentions for the rest of the year
-Soak in some Vitamin D and give thanks to the sun's energy
-Plant food for nourishment
How are you celebrating?
