What is done is done. I, like many others, don’t understand how this happened. I know we are tired, completely exhausted! We can, and should, mourn. We can, and should, be angry. But we will not roll over dead, we will use this anger, and we will come back stronger and more focused. We can have our own Project 202X. We can have our own plan. We are smart. And as women, we should take from this that no one, and I really mean men, will never come to our rescue. We are on our own, we can no longer fight among ourselves. We need to be a F*CKING PINK WAVE of Fury.
The season of cooler temperatures and colorful trees is finally here. Why not celebrate this beautiful season with a healthier lifestyle? Explore practical and enjoyable ways to nourish your mind and body this fall while minimizing your environmental impact.
The second most wonderful time of the year is here, fall. Two big changes come with the fall season and those are the start of a new school year and cooler weather. You’ll need new school supplies, sneakers, dorm necessities, apparel, etc. Checking things off your list and finding the right products can become a stressful experience, but that’s why Jejune is here. While there are so many incredible brands to shop at, we’ve compiled a few sustainable brands that we believe will ensure you ease into fall without any hiccups.
Every fall, fashion companies put out a new line of cozy, warm-colored clothes. If you love this time of year, it can be hard to resist buying new sweaters, boots or jackets to stay on top of the trends. In reality, most of these trends come around every year, despite the fast fashion industry claiming they are new.
If you want to create the fall wardrobe of your dreams, follow these sustainable tips. The planet and your wallet will thank you later.
The Olympics might be over, but it hasn’t left our hearts! There are few things more exciting than watching humans do super human things with their bodies, and this year did not disappoint! From Simone Biles returning with new tricks and mind blowing routines to Breaking making it debut! With the drama aside, there were so many powerful and beautiful moments this year that made this Olympics one of my favorite ones to watch.
But as a pole dancer, there was just one thing lacking this year… Pole Sport!! Dive deeper as we talk to US Team pole athlete and stripper Taylor Dalton.
I am an American woman and I have been increasingly terrified over the past two years. The loss of Roe vs Wade was the first gunshot wound, and it feels like the American women have been under rapid (AK47 level) attack since (and they are hitting a lot more than just an ear). While other countries are celebrating electing female presidents (good job Mexico!) the USA feels like we are going back to the Victorian Era.
During the summer, you might find yourself enjoying nature and appreciating the world around you more. However, you might also notice the increasing temperatures and extreme weather conditions growing more common. If you want to make a difference this season, now is the time to pick up more eco-friendly habits. Here are seven simple ways to care for the planet this summer.
Have you ever thought, wow, there is a lot of trash on this beach, in this river, or in this park? Most of us don’t ever have the time to do much more than pick up a little thing here and there along the way, but Sungai Watch went all in. They saw the issue of the garbage in the Indonesian rivers and literally jumped into action, by jumping into the rivers! This is not a job for the faint of heart; so, I really tip my hat off to the amazing Sungai Watch team. After collecting the trash they realized that they were stuck with a lot of garbage. So, naturally they turned it into high end luxury chairs to help fund their efforts! Ergo, Sungai Design was born! Read on to learn more about these amazing people and their beautiful chairs.
Jejune got the pleasure to sit down with Kim Casci-Palangio from the The Cybercrime Support Network to enlighten us about romance scams, the ins and outs, and how we can protect ourselves and our loved ones.
Plastic packaging comes with almost everything you buy. While it comes with its convenience, it has had grave consequences for the planet. Plastic packaging generates untold amounts of waste for three reasons — it’s usually single use, nonbiodegradable and excessive. Socially conscious enterprises and policymakers have recognized this problem, but abolishing unsustainable packaging material will take time. In the meantime, follow these four tips to avoid it.
Many of us have fallen victim to cheap fast fashion prices. Who wouldn’t consider $15 for a dress a good deal in this economy? However, it’s time to consider the much greater cost of fast fashion. If you’re finally ready to kick your fast fashion addiction, here are some ways you can make more sustainable choices without sacrificing your style.
The popularity of trendy and cheap clothing has surged over the past few decades, enticing consumers to indulge in frequent wardrobe updates. The constant changes in the fashion industry pressure people to buy into every new trend, rather than wearing what they already own.
If you still haven’t made an effort to switch to sustainable options, here are the environmental dangers that might convince you to stop shopping fast fashion.
Have you ever opened your water bill and felt you needed to sit down? Seeing today’s prices is jarring, but there’s nothing as surprising as your actual water use. Coupling this with the effects of climate change should spur action.
When you go to Thailand one of the first things you will notice is the depiction of elephants everywhere! They are on temples, flags, shirts, pants, and adorable statues around the country. They are clearly part of the Thai identity, but for as much as they are a symbol of Thailand the treatment of the actual animals in Thailand isn’t spectacular. Luckily for me, and the elephants, I was able to find and visit BEES Elephant Sanctuary, which holds nothing but love for the animals. Click here to read more!
So, I went into this trip thinking that this article would not be necessary, assuming that Thailand is a vegan heaven. This was not the case… Chiang Mai is awesome for vegans, but it seems that the rest of the country isn’t so sure what we are…
Climate change is an urgent and escalating global crisis reshaping ecosystems and threatening biodiversity. While its impacts are widespread, certain regions bear the brunt of these challenges more severely than others. Here are five areas at the forefront of the climate crisis.
The new year inspires many people to fix up their homes. How can you renovate sustainably, saving money and the planet? These five ideas can transform your abode with minimal effort and tread kindly on the environment.
Government policies banning natural gas and propane are in full swing. New York has passed a law prohibiting the use of fossil fuels in new buildings, and outlawed propane heating and natural gas-powered stoves and furnaces in favor of electric equipment. Similar city-level regulations are spreading in California, too.
Whether you live in these states or just want to reduce your environmental impact, you may be wondering how to switch from gas-powered appliances to electric in your home. Read on to learn about the benefits and where you can start.
Switching to solar energy is a must to generate clean power for the Earth and meet global climate change goals. Many people have not made the switch to solar because they worry about the cost, they don’t own their home or they simply don’t know where to start. While your objections are valid and fair, there are far more ways to go green than a full rooftop installation. Technology and creativity let everyone do their part.
In the land of pierogi and kabab one might wonder how hard it is to go vegan in Poland, but rest assured, you will do just fine!
If you’re reading this, you’re probably an eco-conscious citizen who cares about the planet and wants to make a positive impact. One pressing issue we face today is deforestation, which has devastating environmental consequences. The good news is that you can be part of the solution.
I know we don’t like to talk about climate change and how it is going to kill us all, but we need to start paying attention. I live in New York City where we are used to air pollution, but this past June was something else. We had orange skies of death and were told to avoid going outside at all costs, all because of fires in Canada. Canada! Miles and miles away! Yes, this was horrible and scary, but it got news coverage.
Greta Gerwig’s Barbie has taken the world by storm, starring icons like Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, America Ferrera, Issa Rae, and more. The movie provides a peek into Barbie World, where things are quite the opposite of our real word, and where patriarchy is non existent…until it is. The movie’s delve into the concept of feminism and its relation to the main character, Barbie, is quite an interesting take on the subject, especially for young viewers. The movie’s portrayal of a strained mother daughter relationship that mends itself in the face of crisis is also emotionally stirring and might tug some strings in some sensitive audiences.
It is important to analyze the impact of a movie as big as Barbie, that has a bigger audience, and whose marketing was played out to perfection, with the press tours and the Malibu Dream House, on diverse communities like that of South Asia, and the consequence of the Barbie trend on sustainability and fashion.
The end of summer often marks the beginning of a new chapter. But as the need for school supplies increases, we must consider the effects of our purchases. Whether you need backpacks or pencils, keep reading to discover the fashionable brands that are not only excellent for your class but also great for the environment.
The concept of conscious consumerism has gained traction amid rapid consumption and dwindling resources. Being a conscious consumer goes beyond simply making purchases — it involves understanding your buying decisions' environmental, ethical and social implications. This approach can empower you to think more carefully about your shopping habits, creating a positive impact on a global and local scale.
Minimalism has gotten a lot of press since Marie Kondo came onto the scene, and for good reason. It reduces stress, saves money, makes more time for what’s important and treads lightly on the planet. A minimalist lifestyle leads to greater sustainability by default, as buying fewer things means less waste. However, getting into the “less is more” groove isn't always easy in a consumer-driven culture, where ads for the latest and greatest doodad fill every airwave and billboard. You need guiding affirmations to serve as your light. Here are six key tenets of minimalism to help you live sustainably.
Tis the season… for Pole Sports! Well, really it is just starting to be the season. Let me explain. Like many sports the athletes train year round, but there are particular times when the different competitions happen. I am a US based athlete so I will be speaking more about the US, but it is much the same across the globe. The summer is when most of the national competitions happen for the athletes, then late fall and early winter is when the International competitions occur. One must first qualify on the national level, creating the US Team in our case, to go to Worlds. While we are not an Olympic sport yet, we are handled in much the same way.
Thanks to the Internet, it’s now possible to work anywhere around the world. This, plus the enlightening realizations of a global pandemic, has made increasing companies accepting and more open for digital nomads and work-from-home positions.
We love our favorite sex workers and adult film stars because they are uninhibited, playful, and just so, so hot. But they’re also people. And they have bad days, just like you and I do. And they have traumas they’re trying to process, as we all do, and they sometimes have to work in uncomfortable conditions with people they may not particularly like on days that they just aren’t feeling it.
I recently switched from an iMac to a MacBook and while I am enjoying my new laptop, I am missing the extra screen space. So, when I got the opportunity to review the Mobile Pixel Portable Monitor I jumped at giving it a go.
