HAPPENING NOW: Leaders at #COP15 are making decisions about our future. That’s why we’re at the conference calling on them to take action with a message they can’t miss. 👀

It’s simple: nature feeds us, gives us water, even provides us with the air we breathe. It’s our lifeline. If we lose nature, we lose ourselves.

Together, we can speak up for our shared home. Let leaders know that all eyes are on them: share this post with #COP15 and tag @UNBiodiversity. #TeamEarth

The one thing I absolutely love about #Mastodon is the international community I found. I follow people and have followers from Australia, USA, UK, Sweden, The Netherlands and Belgium (and some other countries).

I love the feeling of people meeting eachother online in their homes all over the world talking about the things that make the world a more beautiful place! #TeamEarth

Trying to be non-political today, not talk about covid, or climate. Maybe a little climate related, but not directly.

first post was frying pans (LOVE my cast iron pan, and it loves me back because I treat it with love)

A few months ago I switched from an artificial bath sponge to a natural sponge. Since I made the switch, I've discovered my skin is happier, and I've been using it for 3 months, it hasn't degraded at all.

I did a lot of reading on them, and while information differs place to place, what I've discovered:

1. A natural sponge, if properly cared for, is good for up to, and maybe longer than, around 5 years. In contrast, an artificial plastic sponge is good for ~30 days. You can use it longer, but it deteriorates and loses its cohesiveness pretty quickly, and much longer it's a giant mess.

2. Once a month or so, you just throw a natural sponge in a pot of boiling water for a minute or two, kills off any bacteria or fungus, anything that might start to grow. A natural sponge is naturally resistant to both, but those things are tenacious and will start to grow eventually anyways. A quick boil once a month will keep that from ever being an issue. Throw a plastic sponge in boiling water for a few minutes, it'll melt and ruin your pot. Gross.

3. A natural sponge is biodegradable and safe to throw in the garbage when you're done with it. The artificial version, while not hardy at all as far as keeping its shape, will spend 1000s of years with very little degradation from when you threw it out.
