A few days ago, it felt as if every corner I turned seemed to be the focus of the warm summer heat lingering in the air. Whether from news articles about various places around the world stuck in tropical climate, or the chatter all over from people still in their summer outfits yearning to show off their new fall wardrobe. Winter might be approaching, yet autumn doesn't know whether it is coming or going. Nature is confused by the changing climate. Pinning any specific environmental event on climate change is tricky, but when surging heat, wildfires, and intense storms have been the topic of discussion worldwide over the last few weeks how can one ignore the signs? Warming global temperatures and the connected increase in weird and extreme weather events no longer can be considered a speculative theory about what might happen to other people in the distant future. Instead this summer has demonstrated that these changes are upon us now. Glaciers are melting, sea levels are rising, cloud forests are dying, and wildlife is scrambling to keep pace. It has become clear that humans have caused most of the past century's warming by releasing heat-trapping gases as we power our modern lives. Greenhouse gas levels are higher now than in the last 650,000 years. Humans have increased the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by more than a third since the industrial revolution. Changes this large have historically taken thousands of years, but are now happening over the course of decades. Climate Change is real and concerns us all, which is why it’s important to learn about and understand environmental issues. Carbon emissions must fall to two tonnes of CO2 per person by 2050 to avoid severe global warming, but in the US and Australia emissions are currently 16 tonnes per person and in the UK seven tonnes! I'm not going to ignore that in order to combat this mass scale change needs to come from the high corridors of power but at the same time we can all do our part in living a greener life and reducing our carbon footprint. To learn more check out resources like the Environmental Protection Agency, @wwf Carbon Footprint calculator, and the @leonardodicapriofdn! [inside Jaffa: Conscious Oufit and Travel Guide]... This city, invaded by many armies throughout history – from the pharaohs, Seljuks, Napoleon, British – is a city with a long timeline of battles, victories, and defeats. It is in many ways a focal point of the current Israeli-Palestinian conflict, its pre-1948 Palestinian population displaced and not allowed to return. Today the city retains elements of this history, as Muslim, Christian and Jewish neighbours commingle, and at times this history is invisible, as seized homes become somebody else’s home or business. The city can both inspire and incite. Conjoined with bustling Tel Aviv (the city’s official name is Tel Aviv-Yafo in Hebrew), Jaffa is a collision of the past and present. The un-thinking visitor might only see the chic art galleries, creative theatres, pretty restaurants, hip flea markets and intriguing antiques. I was born in Tel Aviv, and my family have only ever known this country, whether those who for generations lived in Jerusalem, or those who came from Morocco, Syria and Uzbekistan. It is a privilege for me to walk through Jaffa, while my Palestinian friend cannot even visit her ancestral home. It is also my home, and before leaving to live abroad it was the only place I ever knew. This is an essential part of Jaffa’s story that the visitor to my and my Palestinian friend’s home must understand. A beautiful place, Jaffa is more than a picturesque mixture of Arabic and Jewish culture...(this post continues on the blog). 🌿💗 . . . . . #traveling #travelgram #travelingram #travel #worlderlust #worldcaptures #beautifuldestinations #thehappynow #theprettycities #lovetravel #unity #history #historicalplace #vintage #antique #liveauthentic #visualsoflife #beautifuldestinations #thehappynow #flashesofdelight #ecofriendly #travelphotography #worldshotz #pastel #fleamarket #holiday #visualsgang #visualscollective #roamtheplanet #theglobalwanderer Jaffa is one of the world’s oldest cities, with a harbour that has been in use since the Bronze Age. It is a city with a landscape that both shows and hides the conquests that have shaped its history. Walking through the streets of Jaffa takes you through arched cobblestone alleys, past golden stone buildings bathed in sun, through streets with signs marked with zodiac symbols, the scent of ocean breeze lingering in the air – it is a mix of the surreal and intrigue that’s befitting of a 4,000 year-old port.

An average UK washing load of 6kg of fabric can release: 140,000 fibres from polyester-cotton blend, nearly half a million fibres from polyester, and more than 700,000 fibres from acrylic. That is from every load of synthetic laundry from every UK washing machine! • The ocean is the heart of our planet. It connects people around the earth, regulates climate, produces most of the oxygen that we breath, feeds millions of people around the world every year, and is the home to a tremendous amount of incredible wildlife. If we want to ensure the health and safety of our community and future generations we must take responsibility to care for the ocean as it cares for us. Our health depends on a clean and productive ocean. As it is now, the ocean and it's wildlife are choking on plastic; not only do we need to clean this up, but we also need to stop this careless pollution so that it can sustainably provide for the billions of humans, plants, and animals that depend on it every day. We can make a big difference by making a small adjustment to our lifestyle and by pushing for the fashion industry to make changes to the design and production stages. We need to become more aware of what it is that we are actually buying and putting on our bodies and need to oppose the production of “disposable” clothing and push for longer lasting sustainable and eco-friendly pieces. While we put pressure on textile and clothing manufactures to clean up their act there are some things that we can all do very easily to reduce our consumer impact. As it is right now the world is unsustainably addicted to consumption. It would be such a huge step-change for sustainability if we all bought fewer items of clothing per year, wore them for longer, and threw them away less often. 🌍🌿🌊🐠 When you ask your dad to take a photo of you and he manages to make it look like you only have one leg 🙈💙 Wearing past season @dvf - because classic white shorts and blue tops are not just a trend 💁🏻♻️ . . . . . #sustainablefashion #ecofashion #inspiration #instafashion #inspo #ootd #fashiondiaries #travelgram #traveling #stylesubmit #stylegram #stylecrush #stylediaries #styleinspiration #luxurytravel #fashionblogger #liketkit #asseenonme #streetstyleluxe #lookbook #fashiongram #outfitpost #liveauthentic #visualsoflife #greece #santorini #beautifuldestinations #worlderlust #worldcaptures #bestvacations
