Humble Brush

Published by M&B

[Ad|Anzeige] We love eco-friendly toothbrushes and have been using humble brushes for more than 2 years now. The humble brush handle is made from 100% biodegradable, sustainably-grown bamboo. We all want to enjoy the beautiful oceans and beaches, so we have to do our best to reduce the amount of plastic waste that litters and poisons our environment. Plastic pollution has become a huge environmental issue. Every year billions of plastic toothbrushes are thrown away and take over 400 years to decompose. Plastic toothbrushes, bottles, straws, coffee cups, and bags end up in the oceans. But we can do something about that. Let’s say no to plastic and use more eco-friendly alternatives whenever we can. Some things we like about humble brush: No harmful chemicals No animal testing All vegan Certified organic FDP approved The humble brush is also super “panda-friendly” because the MOSO-bamboo, that the humble brush is made of, grows leaves from 5 meters and up. Since pandas only eat leaves they can reach, they don’t eat the bamboo that is being used for …

Vegan sneakers

Published by M&B

[Ad|Anzeige] We have been looking for vegan sneakers for a while now. That’s why we are excited to share this brand with you today. The brand “All My Eco” uses eco-friendly materials, produces in Spain, plants 5 trees for each pair, and donates 1% of sales to charity. We love the design and they are very comfy. If you are between two sizes, get the bigger one so you don’t have to return them. I usually wear 39 and ordered size 40, they fit perfectly! Did you know that vegan leather is less harmful to the planet than animal leather? Cow leather is the most damaging because it causes animal suffering, deforestation, water pollution, and methane emissions. These sneakers are made of: pineapple fiber, a material made reusing the waste from the pineapple cultivation that otherwise would have been thrown away cork, which is one of the greenest materials there is, as no trees need to be cut down to produce it and PET recycled plastic, helping fight the plastic pollution that goes in our oceans It is a …

The beautiful Greek island Santorini

Published by M&B

Exploring the wonderful Greek island Santorini had been on our bucket list for quite some time. We stayed at a cute hotel in Perissa and rented a car for the whole week. We definitely recommend renting a car when your hotel is not in Oia or Fira because those are the two cities you have to see. The best choice was getting an automatic car because the roads are very steep and narrow at some points. You can easily explore the whole island by car; getting from one side to the other takes about an hour. Our hotel was about 30 min from Oia and 20 min from the capital city, Fira. We booked an apartment with a kitchen so we could make our own breakfast. In our experience, some hotels do not have the best food options for vegans. Since there were grocery stores near our apartment, we figured it would be best to shop and prepare our own food. Oia is so beautiful and the sunsets are amazing. The city is situated on top of the …

London is calling!

Published by M&B

London is always a great idea, especially in summer! ☼ We had 3 days to explore this beautiful city and preferred taking the bus as much as possible. And the double-decker buses are just as amazing as we thought they would be! On the first day we visited: Buckingham Palace, the London Eye, Big Ben, Palace of Westminster, and Trafalgar Square. And of course, we went shopping in the famous Oxford Street. London has also many great vegan restaurants. For brunch, we can recommend Wulf&Lamb which is 100% vegan. The porridge and pancakes were delicious. And for dinner, we took a bus to a restaurant in Notting Hill, called Redemption Bar. You can find the second Redemption Bar in Shoreditch. On the second day, we stopped at the King’s Cross station at the famous 9 3/4 platform. It was such a beautiful and sunny day. In the morning, we went to see the Tower Bridge and the Tower of London. In the afternoon, we took the bus to Canary Wharf which is a modern business area …

Traveling responsibly

Published by M&B

Hey guys! This is where we are going to tell you about our tips on how to travel responsibly! We believe that you learn a lot while traveling and it is the best way to explore the magic of our world. Responsible travel is about respecting the country you visit, including its communities, culture, and environment. Here are our 5 tips on how to travel responsibly: 1. MINIMIZE YOUR WASTE! Say no to plastic straws. Millions of straws end up in the ocean, polluting the water and killing marine life. We want to encourage you to stop using plastic straws. Just say “No PLASTIC straw, please!” before you order a beverage. Or use a paper straw which more and more restaurants offer. Say no to plastic bags and bring your own bag instead. Also, bring your own reusable water bottle and refill it with tap water. If you can’t drink tap water in the country you visit, buy the biggest water bottle instead of the small ones and refill your reusable bottle. And please never litter! Everyone needs …
