It's the start of Spring. So, here are our top tips to spruce up your space sustainably.
Refresh your wardrobe.
You guessed it. Our first tip: clearout your wardrobe.
Over 1/4 of clothing in UK cupboards is unworn*. So, it's likely you've got some pieces you're ready to part with. Order a Thrift+ Bag to get started.
-
Pick your pieces
-
Pack them in your bag
-
Post it back.
Put on an ocean-clean load.
Did you know laundry products contain ingredients that are harmful to ocean life?
This week we're loving the brand new OceanSaver Laundry EcoSheets, which help you to save a few squid - and quid. They're plant-based and work well on cold washes - perfect for lowering your laundry's footprint.

Repot responsibly.
Spring is a great time to re-house your rootbound plants so they can thrive.
Before you get started, choose your soil wisely. Opt for a 'peat-free' mix.
Say no to new plastic pots. See what you have already or ask a friend for spares.
Clearout your cupboards.
Open your kitchen cupboards to organisational bliss. Plus, help fight food waste.
Reach deep into the depths of your shelves. Grab lurking past-their-sell-by-date jars. Rinse them ready for recycling.
Found non-perishables that just aren't to your taste? Donate to your local food bank. Or use Olio to share your bounty with a nearby neighbour.
