So I've been eating a lot of avocados lately and I've seen people grow trees from pits so I thought I'd give it a go.
I found a couple of great videos to show how it's done so..... here's how it's done!
I'll be sure to post some updates of how my experiment goes!
A couple of take aways:
1) Take of the skin
2) Make sure you put the flat/bottom in the water
3) Put it on a heating pad (I used my radiator because it's perfect)
4) Make sure it has leaves before planting it on soil
A friend of mine showed me these videos the other day and I thought it was the coolest thing. I'm not going to lie, I really like the song "I'm sexy and I know it" so I thought it was pretty great when Noah changed it up a bit. He also did a lot of other great covers so be sure to check them out!
I was getting a little board with my house plants and wanted to try something new so I thought I'd take on growing bulbs inside.
So far so good! I have a Hyacinth and a Amaryllis growing so I thought I'd share some videos I found helpful.
I've gotten a bit of mixed info. Some people say put the bulbs in the fridge until you start to see growth from the top, others say plant then in soil or water (depending on the type of bulb) and then put them in the fridge until you see growth. I'm trying a couple different ways so I'll let you know what I find works best!
Not sure how great these cars are, I haven't looked into all of the eco details but this commercial almost made me cry. If only we all thought about green house gases when making car purchases, or just simply driving more then we have to.
I read this article today that made me very sad and angry...And then I watched the video they had attached.
So turns out these poor animals end up on Ugg boots.
I knew before I watched the video I wouldn't like it. I knew I would likely either want to throw up or it would make me cry. I started watching it almost hiding behind my hands. I got about a minute in and then started to ball. And ball. And then some more.
I didn't make it through the whole video. Seeing one animal go through that was enough for me.
I read through the article looking for something, some sort of call to action and there was nothing.
I hate this.
There's really nothing I can do. I mean, yes, don't buy Uggs, but other then that? And I'm not really mad at the people that are doing it. To a degree yes because I don't get how someone can just turn off like that and skin an animal alive like that, but I'm more mad at us, and how we support it. We drive people to jobs like this. And I was thinking if this is the only way these people have to provide for their families what else are they going to do? They likely don't have enough money to shoot eat animal in the head before, but at least come up with something else! Some other alternative! Slit the throat? I know, gross and still horrible but better to a degree.
I'm not going to keep going about this, I'm really upset, but I wanted to share it with you none less.
