2020 has definitely been a hectic year. But the magic of a new year is that it promises change, growth and a better you. We at Madia & Matilda believe that the better you is the one that is kind to yourself, to others and especially the Earth. So for this upcoming year we have a couple of resolutions you can make to be more considerate of our planet.
Ditch plastic bags! Buy yourself a tote bag that you can reuse time and time again instead of getting a new plastic bag every time you go shopping - they are extremely harmful to animals and nature!
For example, get yourself the Printed Canvas bag from Madia & Matilda.
Raise awareness - spread your knowledge around recycling to your friends and family. You never know who you might inspire to also be better!
Carry a reusable water bottle.
Buy eco-friendly. Support the environment by supporting companies who are trying to minimize their carbon footprint.
Get involved and volunteer for beach and forest cleanups!

Say no to disposable straws and cutlery!
We hope these ideas will inspire you to spend 2021 helping the Earth in any way you can - every small contribution makes a difference!
