Litter picking is a micro activism 👊
I asked for images of your litter picks & the stories you shared show just how inspiring we can be by taking a small action.

I’m so proud of everyone who has taken part in the litter pick challenge so far this month. You can still join in my picking up just 3 pieces of litter everyday! 💚

Our weekly sustainable actions 💪
I’m obsessed with everything that you’ve been up to over the past week and how we’re each making small changes independently. I’m so proud of everything we’re doing for the environment.

Even if you think travelling by public transport isn’t a big deal, or planning your honeymoon in the UK instead of travelling overseas. Using up your leftover food before it goes bad or eating more plant based. All of those steps add up to bigger changes, especially when we’re making them together.

Let this be your inspiration to keep going even when you think it isn’t worth it. It really is. Together we can achieve anything 👏👏👏

What eco actions have you been up to that you’d add to the list?

Our weekly eco-friendly actions 💪
I’m pulling these incredible actions out of stories because they deserve a space on the feed! Small steps add up a big difference when we work together but we all need some encouragement to keep going sometimes.

Here are just some of the eco actions you took last week from composting to driving less. We’ve got this!!!!

What other steps have you taken this week?

How to keep your soap bar lasting for longer with the incredible handcrafted soap bars from ad

1. Cut your soap bars into smaller pieces, that way only the piece you’re using will get wet
2. Store your soap out of water, ideally using a soap dish with holes to allow the water to drain
3. Use a cloth or a loofah to apply the soap, limiting how much water gets on the soap bar
4. Add your soap ends to a soap saver once you get to the end of their use to keep them going for longer!

The soap bars from Nature’s Tree are big and will last a long time, even without these tips! I’m personally obsessed with the Lavender Body Bar, it smells SO GOOD and there’s nothing better than soap bars made by a small UK business from all natural ingredients.

About us

We're sisters, Trina & Charlie, living in Manchester (UK). We want to shop more ethically, and know where the products we buy come from. We love to support UK independent businesses, people who really care about what they are creating. Reducing single use plastic is at the very core of what we do. Here at LB4P, we carefully select our products to ensure they are eco-friendly, ethical and as zero waste as possible.

We've been into this for a while. We've spent summers building toilets in Nepal, weekends picking up rubbish on beaches and days chatting about recycling to our friends, family and anyone who will listen, plus going that bit further and studying how we can change our environment.

Check out our Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube for tips, tricks and news stories to keep you up-to-date on all things plastic-free, and join in the plastic free movement at www.lifebeforeplastik.com
