The Modibodi office is proud to be participating in #PlasticFreeJuly, a global challenge to reduce personal consumption of single-use plastic. The thought of going plastic free for an entire month can seem a bit daunting and maybe you think it might be impossible. However Plastic Free July isn’t about being perfect. It is about reducing plastic in a way that works for your lifestyle, whilst challenging yourself. Below are some brands we are proud to promote in order to help you live more sustainably this month, and beyond! 

Have you ever met a queer, non-binary, autistic, veteran, comedian and anthropologist? Jacci ticks all those boxes, but they won't let you put them in a box!  Did those pronouns confuse you just then? Then keep reading because to celebrate PRIDE month this year Jacci is here to help you understand why ‘they’ choose to use the pronouns they/their/them.  

We will continue to listen, learn and educate ourselves. We will commit this time to not only thoughts but actions, to use our platform and resources to actively support and make space for BIPOC. We are committed to long lasting change within our company, community and the world.

Most of you probably know DJ Tigerlily, but did you know her real name is Dara and as well as being a DJ, she is also a producer and wellness enthusiast. Earlier this year we reached out to see if she would be interested in testing out our vegan range- "Not going to lie, I was sceptical at first about using them."

With World Environment and Ocean Day coming up we wanted to ask ourselves what are some ways we can change the way we live to be more sustainable?In the Modibodi office we are always conscious of the amount of waste we produce in-house and are always looking for ways to adapt and be better; however small the steps are. We reached out to one of our customers Maali, who is currently living in a very full household with her family, to see what changes they have made around the house to become more sustainable.

Mother’s Day, like most days this year, is going to feel different. We’ve invited a Mum, one of Modibodi’s own in fact, to get her perspective on the upcoming celebrations and how lock-down has turned life upside down in an unexpected, but delightful way.
