"I want you to act as if our house is on fire. Because it is." ~ Greta Thunberg. She's right, our world is literally on fire right now. Alaska, Siberia, and now the Amazon rainforest. Caused by climate change and people clearing precious irreplaceable rainforest for livestock. But the media is ignoring it. The Notre Dame fire was trivial in comparison to this. The worst thing is in the face of such devastation caused by people, what can we do? We can only watch from afar. But there are things we can do, even if they are only drops in the ocean. But they all add up. Raise awareness of what's happening. Stop eating meat and dairy, especially beef. Support organisations working to protect our forests such as @coolearthaction and @rainforestalliance. Protest and vote for better governments. . . .

Cinnabar caterpillars on some ragwort at Forest Farm Park in Cardiff. They exclusively eat ragwort and groundsel. As a horse rider I was taught to hate ragwort, seen as an evil weed because it's poisonous to horses. But now I appreciate that it is vital for our wildlife so shouldn't be eradicated. I love the tiger stripes of these caterpilars! Eating ragwort makes them posionous to potential predators. . . . #cinnabar #cinnabarcaterpillar #cinnabarmoth #forestfarm #wildcardiff #wildwales #ragwort #wildflower #nature #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #macrophotography #caterpillars #moths #wildlife #lovewildlife #365dayswild #wild #getoutside #insects #invertebrates #insectsofinstagram #natureblogger #wildlifeblogger #outdoorsbloggers #lepidoptera #naturelovers #ukwildlife #britishwildlife #mothsmatter
I'm now using @lush's solid foundation and concealer stick. They are the only eco-friendly and completely zero-waste make up options I've found. And so far I'm impressed. Smooth even coverage as thick or thin as you like and a large range of tones. It doesn't seem to stay on as long as other make up (I've been using Bodyshop until now) but I can easily touch it up! Guilt-free make up is the best! In other news, I've just seen that Lush UK will be leaving their social networks to focus on their own platforms which is an interesting move! Seems a shame to step away from conscious living communities online and also how will they push their ethical campaigns? What do you think, a good or bad idea? . . . #lush #lushcommunity #lushmakeup #lushcosmetics #plasticfree #zerowaste #plasticfreeliving #zerowasteliving #zerowasteuk #ecoswap #ecoblogger #lifestyleblogger #lifestyle #makeup #cosmetics #vegan #plasticfreeblogger #zerowasteblogger #sustainableliving #sustainable #barsnotbottles #lesswastewarriors #lesswaste #lowimpactmovement #sustainableswaps #greenlifestyle #savetheplanet #lovetheplanet #consciousliving #ethicalshopping

We're at #Birdfair today hosted at the stunning #RutlandWater, one of my favourite places!

Continuing the bird theme this weekend with a gadwall duck! I actually think gadwalls are very pretty.
