I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU
Tonight's blog is a short one, but I think it is an important one. I have been thinking about what holds people back from making the steps to being eco-friendly. I know there can be many things that can influence people and they can be wide and varied. So what has being holding you back from making the change to being eco-friendly? If you have made some changes, why can't you go further? I think I know some of the reasons. Lifestyle - are you afraid your lifestyle will chang

CERTIFICATION - WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?
You may have noticed that there are lots of symbols and logos out there, but when it comes to choosing a sustainable, eco-friendly or organic product, what do they mean? It can get very confusing when you are trying to buy such products. I know, because when I first became conscious of the items we were buying, I started to pull my hair out trying to figure it all out. Like me, I am sure you are trying to buy more natural eco-friendly products, but often are worried that the

BECOME PART OF PLASTIC FREE JULY – TIP #7
Hope you are all having a good week and that you feel you are making progress with reducing plastic from your life. I know it is not easy – I find myself letting out a few expletives when I have left my reusable bags at home or when I buy an item thinking it is plastic free only to find the item has a plastic inner wrapping. None of us are perfect, but not trying to reduce your impact is worse. The more you keep trying, the more it will become part of your daily routine. So,

CAN PALM OIL BE SUSTAINABLE?
Palm oil is one of the most widely produced edible oils in the world, used in so many products from chocolate and chips to cosmetics, from household cleaning products to pet foods and much more. But unless you have been living under a rock you will know the production of palm oil is causing extreme deforestation, which has had a huge impact on endangered species and to the local environment. According to the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) eighty seven per cent of the planta

WHY EARTHLY PASSION LOVES BAMBOO
You probably wondering why there is so much talk about Bamboo. Up to now, cotton has been one of the most popular fibres for clothing and bedding, but there has been a change away from this natural fibre. So, I thought I better explain why we love bamboo. Do you realise how many chemicals are used in the growing process of cotton? And that some of the most harmful pesticides used on cotton are either suspected or confirmed carcinogens (cancer causing). Not only that, but cott

WANT FERTILE SOIL? GROW YOUR OWN MANURE.
Now is the right time to grow green manure crops. So what are they? And why are they good for the garden? Green manures are generally fast growing crops like oats, wheat, fava beans and field peas that are allowed to grow and then slashed as the plants begin to flower, while still green and lush. It is a great way to prepare your vegie patch for Spring/Summer, particularly if you plan to grow heavy feeders. Green manure (also known as green composting) acts like compost in m

HOW WE STARTED TO BECOME GREEN
For many people, they love the idea of being environmentally conscious, but are often put off in making the change because the change seems too difficult. Often people are afraid of what they might miss or have to give up – their lifestyle, the clothes they wear, the car they drive, the house they live in. Believe I know, as I had that very same fear of change when I was first seriously thinking about being more environmentally conscious. As a family, we are still working ou

MAKING THOSE CHANGES TO BE EARTHLY PASSION
I know many of you are wondering how did I get interested in environmental matters. I would have to say it started when I grew up. Both my parents were very good at being self-sufficient. My Dad was a good gardener and grew enough to keep a family of eight kids fed all year round with seasonal veg and fruit. Mum made all her own bread, preserves as well as freezing both fruit and veg. Eggs and chicken came from our own hen shed. Living in a rural area meant we could get meat

DRUM ROLL…EARTHLY PASSION IS HERE!
Hello there, My name is Attracta and the founder of earthly passion. Yes, I know my name is unusual – very Irish and not many of us around. Why did I start earthly passion? Well, in my twenties I had an interest in eco issues, but I never thought I could do anything that could make a difference. I wanted to live more environmentally friendly, but like a lot of people I didn’t know where to start. But having children changes all that. You want to raise happy, healthy kids. For
