What I'm Doing —
I've been loving live streaming every Wednesday at 12p.m MT and interviewing different experts in sustainability, demoing fun DIY projects and sharing other sustainability tips, tricks or hacks. If you don't have Facebook to view these live sessions, you can catch them all on YouTube. Here are my two most recent interviews:
Art & The Environment
Carbon Capture Utilization & Storage
Liking, commenting, sharing, and subscribing helps to grow Budfunding's sustainability momentum. If you know someone I should interview or have an idea on a topic I should cover, please let me know.
What I Made —
Up-cycle a can into a planter
It was great to be able to work with Kind Krafts on another sustainable craft project. In this video tutorial I walk you through how to upcycle a can into a planter to grow anything you like. Check it out on Facebook HERE or Instagram HERE
What I'm Amazed By —
Giant murals that break down air pollutants
Ok this is so cool! Converse is sponsoring giant murals in 13 cities around the world that break down air pollutants. These murals created from photocatalytic, smog-eating paint, have gone up in Bangkok, Thailand, and Warsaw, Poland. Future murals will be going up in Sydney, Manila, Sao Paulo, Jakarta, Belgrade, Lima, Santiago, Johannesburg, Melbourne, Bogota and Panama City. The mural in Warsaw has the environmental impact of planting 780 trees!
What I'm Celebrating —
There are a lot of environmental days to be part of throughout the year, and It's hard to keep track of them all, so I made this chart to let you know what's coming up next. You can click HERE to download the full infographic. What do you hope to part of this next year?
April's Hot Tip —
You know those watering globes you can fill up and stick in a plant to slowly release water which hydrates your plants over time? We'll you actually don't need to spend money on one of those. All you need is an empty glass bottle, the shape of a wine bottle, and it will do the trick. More on this tip HERE.
That's about it for me. If you have any feedback, a favourite part or suggestion to share about the above please let me know. Also, if you have any suggestions for future "What I'm Budding About" newsletters I'd love to hear them. Have a wonderful week and let's keep creating a green future together! If you missed a newsletter, you can find past editions HERE.
The future is bright,
