THE 2030 AGENDA FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Hi! 

last week I download the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, read it and felt so passioned about it that I have decided to share it in my blog.


This document lists 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and 169 targets were adopted on 25 September 2015 by Heads of State and Government at a special UN summit. The aim of this paper is to cancel poverty and focus on sustainable development for everyone in the whole world by 2030. 


It can be download in the below link:

Let me know what you think!

BAMBOO TOOTHBRUSH

Hello All,

few days ago I came across something called bamboo toothbrush, as I never heard about them I wanted to find out more information about them and I have to say, a new world completely disclosed to me...

The best thing about bamboo toothbrushes is that they are 100% biodegradable, therefore they are considered sustainable for the environment. Bamboos grow very quickly and it is able to supply a very sustainable timber in just few years time.

The problem is that nowadays, traditional plastic toothbrush are not recycled and, at times, they end up offshore.


This link here below shows the journey that a plastic boothbush makes, worthed to have a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pd_C3YK3kI4




All of us should be committed in the cause of recycling and protect our environment!!
First of all, we should try to find another use of our toothbushes after they have done with our teeth and secondly we can try to swap our habits and opt for something more sustainable and recyclable.

Let's save our environment... save our oceans!!!
