    Borneo and Malaysia: The Journey That Started Them All

    While I’ve been travelling since I was a tiny human, I never knew that my first somewhat independent overseas adventure would be the first stepping stone towards a beautifully interconnected path. I’ve talked about the

    • Thanks for having me, Glastonbury! 🌈 Here’s Thanks for having me, Glastonbury! 🌈 Here’s a little content dump of perhaps what was a once in a lifetime opportunity for me to attend one of the greatest arts and music festivals on planet earth 🌏 My brain is still processing all that I heard, saw, tasted, felt, and smelt. I’m so glad we did it. If you’re curious about the sustainability of the festival, I signed up to be a #WorthyWarrior this year and read thoroughly through the Glasto policies. There are some really amazing steps being made and from my experience, it seems the hardest part is communicating that message with the general public and stallholders who attend each year and getting everyone on board to make greener choices and leave no trace. Overall, I heard it was the best year yet and I’m so delighted to have ticked one off the bucket list!! 🥳
    Hello from the UK! ☀️ I’ve just spent a week Hello from the UK! ☀️ I’ve just spent a week in London and it’s been an absolute treat. Sunshine, plants, plant food, lots of walking, and plenty to check out. We stayed at @thecornerlondoncity - a sustainable hotel in Whitechapel (swipe for a pic of their wall in the foyer!). We did a bit of touristy stuff this time around but I personally loved Kew Gardens (1st image - me in the Western Australia glasshouse. Because WA plants are that special they get their very own room!!) I’m out of the big smoke now and onwards to @glastofest very soon! Thanks for having us London - we’ll see you again in a couple of months 🌏
    Life and eco hack! 🌿 I’m so chuffed to be par Life and eco hack! 🌿 I’m so chuffed to be partnering with @theswag.original to bring to you all the secrets to reducing food waste, keeping fruit and veggies fresh for over 2 weeks, and saving that money and time spent on trips to the shops. I’ve been using The Swag bags for years now and they’ve been a lifesaver. These bad boys really helped couple of weeks ago when I was sick in iso and I could only stomach baby food – they kept my full weekly shop worth of fruit and veg fresh in the crisper until I could eat complete meals again. And I’m certain that I’ve saved more the cost of my Swag bags in the amount of fruit and veg I’ve saved each year. I’ll show you just how they work to keep food fresh very soon ☺️ Does anyone else here use Swag bags? What’s your experience been like? If you want to get your own, feel free to use my 15% off code MOLLY15 (until 10th July). 🌏 Proudly partnered / ad – @theswag.original #TheSwagBag
    For my mother, and her mothers, and their mothers For my mother, and her mothers, and their mothers before them. I found this poem by @essentialnatureyoga last week while in a state of anxious excitement to return (after 7 years) to my mother’s motherland and face, once again, the decades –centuries– of oppression and intergenerational trauma I’ve been carrying as a result of the oppression of Irish women from the Catholic Church. This week I realised how heavy that weight has been. Yet again this Mother’s Day, we’re confronted with the control and oppression of our bodies. Let’s remember who defines the world, and who has true power to change it for the better (we do). Sending lots of love — I’ll never stop fighting for equality, equity, and justice.
    EARTH DAY 2022 🌏✨ Honestly, there’s nothin EARTH DAY 2022 🌏✨ Honestly, there’s nothing I want to say today that I haven’t said already: Earth day, every day. Spend time in nature. Consume less, produce sustainably. Change can start in your own backyard (or patio, or the planter on your kitchen counter). There is no climate justice without First Nations justice. The most sustainable item is the one already in your home or wardrobe. You can acknowledge that billionaires and corporations are destroying the planet, while also focusing on your own sustainable habits. The two are not mutually exclusive. There’s no sustainability without ethics. Care for the soil, it’s part of the climate solution. There are many ways to be an environmentalist, you don’t always have to be marching in the streets or planting trees every weekend. Intersectional environmentalism is the way forward. Do what you can, with what you have, where you are. ✊
    I got to work this week with some more native seed I got to work this week with some more native seed planting (Golden everlasting daisies! 🌼) to celebrate Greening Australia's 40 year anniversary! If you’re not already familiar with them, @greeningaustralia is a not-for-profit that has been restoring the Australian landscape, planting millions of native trees and plants, protecting hundreds of native species, and supporting Traditional Owners in restoring Country since 1982. To celebrate their birthday, they’ve launched a ‘Money Tree’ – a large sculpture of a tree, made of recycled materials, erected outside State Library Victoria this week. The tree symbolises the value of nature, and that for every $1 spent on restoration, at least $9 of economic benefit can be expected in return ♻️ But let's also remember: nature is invaluable – priceless. According to a 2019 article published in the journal ‘Nature’, at least 120 minutes in nature every week is beneficial for our wellbeing and happiness (for me, it’s essential). We need nature because, as we sometimes forget, we are nature. For me, my relationship with nature is symbiotic. Walking in nature, planting seeds, and caring for my garden doesn’t only benefit me, it benefits the animals in my area, the overall ecosystem, my neighbours, and the wider community. It’s a ripple effect that helps to keep the world in balance 🌏 I hope you can find some time this weekend to get out there, go for a nature walk, plant some native plants, and envision a greener future. What are your plans? If you want to learn more about the Money Tree or the work greening Australia are doing to restore 330,000 hectares by 2030, you can find them at @greeningaustralia. #IValueNature #40YearsOfGreeningAustralia (Very proudly sponsored/ad - @greeningaustralia)
