1000 Flowers for the Planet - #353 Use Natural Insect Repellant
You can make your own natural insect repellent by putting a few
drops of lavender oil in a little olive oil. When and as required, dab a little
on your pulse points to keep the insects at bay. The advantage to making your
own is the reduced cost, the ability to use a glass container which is
reusable, the reduction in waste and the capacity to make only what you need,
reducing waste even further.
If you can’t be bothered
making your own repellent then search the Internet or local organic stores for
a commercial solution. Ensure all the ingredients are actually natural and consider any packaging you may be
purchasing and its ability to be recycled. A good one I found with a quick look
at that world wide web is called ‘Bugged’, a local product for me and one made
using 100% natural ingredients. It comes in a tin which can be reused or
recycled and it’s even hand made
[check out www.beebeauty.com]. See what’s available in your neck of the woods
and share your discovery. By choosing ‘all natural’ we reduce the amount of
chemicals being put into the environment, not to mention on our skin, and
encourage the use of sustainable resources.
