Drinking Straws

Keeping up with the latest interior trends can feel overwhelming, but when style meets sustainability, the results are worth it. On Friendly Turtle’s EcoBlog, we explore eco-friendly home décor ideas that help you create a beautiful space while protecting the planet. From choosing secondhand furniture that reduces landfill waste to embracing durable raw materials like stone, wood, and clay, these sustainable choices make your home both stylish and conscious. Add greenery with air-purifying plants or bring warmth with eco-friendly rugs to balance comfort and aesthetics. Today’s trends prove you don’t need to compromise on design to live sustainably-your home can be modern, inviting, and kind to the earth.

Choosing All-on-4 dental implants is more than a long-term solution for missing teeth—it’s also an opportunity to make eco-friendly and health-focused choices. Modern clinics are moving towards sustainable dentistry by using digital imaging instead of wasteful impressions, favouring biocompatible and BPA-free materials like zirconia, and adopting efficient procedures that reduce carbon emissions. An eco-conscious clinic doesn’t just restore your smile; it protects your overall well-being with holistic care, safe materials, and responsible waste management. At Friendly Turtle’s EcoBlog, we highlight how these greener dental practices align oral health with sustainability. By selecting an environmentally responsible clinic, you’re not only investing in a confident, lasting smile but also contributing to a healthier planet.

When we think of climate change, melting ice caps, rising seas and fierce storms often come to mind. Yet there is another side to the crisis: its impact on mental health. From the trauma of natural disasters to the long-term stress of food insecurity, economic loss and displacement, the psychological toll is growing. A rising concern, particularly among young people, is climate anxiety (eco-anxiety) – persistent worry about the planet’s future. According to the World Health Organization, one in five people in disaster-hit areas may develop conditions such as anxiety, depression or PTSD. On Friendly Turtle’s EcoBlog, we explore how climate change affects mental wellbeing, which groups are most at risk, and practical ways to build resilience. Protecting the planet goes hand in hand with protecting our minds – because a healthier environment creates healthier people.
