string(202) "Why let those empty scented candle jars go to waste instead of repurposing them? Join Chus in exploring 7 easy and creative ways to recycle scented candle jars and contribute to a sustainable lifestyle."
["description"]=>
string(8759) "In our busy modern lives, finding ways to recycle and repurpose items is key to green living. Empty scented candle jars, especially from natural scented candles, can be transformed into useful and unique items. Join Chus as we explore some fun and practical ways to upcycle your candle jars, helping protect the environment and adding joy to your daily routine.
How to Clean Scented Candle Jars
Before you can start reusing your scented candle jars, it's essential to clean them properly to remove any leftover wax and scents. Clean jars make the upcycling process much smoother.
Clean the scented candle holder before repurposing
1. Chill the jar to harden the wax
Place the scented candle jar in the freezer for a few hours to harden any remaining wax. Once the wax is solid, it’s much easier to remove.
2. Scrape out the wax
Carefully use a knife or spoon to scrape out the hardened wax. For any stubborn wax, warm the jar slightly with a hairdryer, then wipe it clean with a paper towel or cloth.
3. Wash the jar
Use a sponge or soft cloth to scrub away any residue, soot, or remaining wax. For intricate designs or details, a toothbrush can help clean those hard-to-reach spots.
4. Deodorize (if needed)
If the jar still has a lingering scent, sprinkle some baking soda inside and leave it for a few hours. Baking soda naturally absorbs odors. Alternatively, a mix of water and white vinegar (1:1 ratio) can effectively deodorize the jar.
Once the jars are clean and scent-free, you can reuse them in all sorts of creative ways:
7 Ways to Repurpose Scented Candle Jars into Useful Items
1. Pen Holder
Turn your old scented candle jars into stylish pen holders. This practical solution keeps your desk organized, making it easy to find pens, pencils, and other stationery.
For a personal touch, decorate the jar with paint, decoupage paper, or ribbons. Add stickers or small designs to match your style.

Upcycle scented candle jars into adorable planters for small plants like cacti or succulents. Drill a drainage hole if needed to prevent waterlogging.
This idea works best with ceramic or cement candle cups rather than glass ones.

4. Makeup Brush Holder
Larger scented candle jars can be perfect for organizing makeup brushes, eyeliner pencils, or other beauty tools. This keeps your vanity neat and your beauty tools easily accessible.
Tall, cylindrical jars made of tin, glass, ceramic, wood, or bamboo are ideal for this purpose.

["description"]=>
string(3535) "What is Earth Day?
Unlike Earth Hour, Earth Day is on April 22 every year. On this day, everyone will join hands to call and take actions to protect the natural environment. However to make this day more reachable and easy to follow, this article will be a guideline of practical key actions to do on Earth Day. And from there, those could become a daily habit for anyone to follow.
1. Limit using plastic
In stead of using plastic products, you can bring cloth bags, and woven bags to buy things; use personal bottles to buy water, or use gray sedge straws, rice straws, etc. The reducing of plastic waste of each person can lead to a bigger picture for the environment.
2. Reuse and recycle
Before you throw anything away, see if it can be reused or recycled. This helps reduce plastic waste as well as save you money.
3. Waste sorting
Sorting household waste and plastic waste will greatly help garbage collectors in managing and disposing more easily. As a result, it will create optimistic influence on the environment of many species. It may take a bit of time and effort to do at first, but no one can resist its wonderful benefits and environmental values of this act.
4. Use public transport
Using public transport, bike, or carpool when possible may be a bit inconvenient for some people. However, it is an easy and practical way to reduce carbon emissions into the environment - one of leading reasons for global warming and air pollution.
5. Plant trees
Not only helping to reduce environmental pollution, planting trees also helps bring freshness and comfort to the atmosphere and attract positive energy. If you aren't able to plant a huge tree, try with a tiny pot of tree on your table to add a green touch to your living space.
A habit can be built step by step by little change in daily habits, repeatedly day by day to created a positive impact to the environment. With those actions above, CHUS hopes that everyone can consider every day as Earth Day when applying them in daily basis. So that together, the Earth could become more beautiful and healthy.

string(3993) "Sustainability is important in all aspects of life, including travel. When you're on the road, it's easy to forget about the impact your trip is having on the environment. But by making a few simple changes, you can make your travels more sustainable and eco-friendly. In this blog post, we will discuss some tips for sustainable travel!
Less Carbon Emissions
One of the easiest ways to make your travel more sustainable is to reduce your carbon footprint. You can do this by flying less, driving less, and choosing eco transportation options like biking or public transportation. You can actually see and enjoy more by talking, cycling, and using public transportation in your travel. You can also reduce your energy consumption by turning off electronics when you're not using them and unplugging appliances when you're not home.
Mindful of Your Waste Creation
Another important way to make your travel more sustainable is to be mindful of your waste. When you're on the road, try to avoid disposable items like plastic straws and water bottles. Instead, bring a reusable water bottle, reed straws, bamboo forks, and pack snacks in reusable containers. You can also compost food waste and recycle plastics and paper products. The small attention can make your travel surprisingly sustainable!
Greener Selection of Accommodation
Finally, think about your accommodation options. There are many eco-friendly hotels and resorts that practice sustainability in their day-to-day operations - no dispensible toothbrush, no plastic bottle for your water, etc. If you're not able to find a sustainable place to stay, consider camping or couch surfing instead of staying in a traditional hotel.
Support Local Economies, and Opt for Sustainable Activities
When you're on holiday, it can be easy to forget the most important thing: have fun! But sustainability doesn't have to be all work and no play. You can have a great time while also being mindful of the environment. Here are some ideas for sustainable activities:
- Eat at local restaurants and buy souvenirs from local artisans
- Instead of renting a car, take walking or biking tours
- Visit parks and nature reserves instead of popular tourist destinations
- Join a sustainability workshop or visit a sustainability exhibit
Limit energy use and conserve water
Long, steamy showers are the perfect way to scrub off a long day of travel, but the staggering amount of both energy and water used by travelers negatively impacts locals much more than most travelers realize. “In a developing country, a village of 700 uses an average of 500 liters of water per month, while a luxury hotel guest uses 1,800 liters per night,” says Correa. “Ask your hotel about their approach to water conservation and what you can do to minimize your impact; it should be much more than washing less towels.”
Now What?
By following these tips, you can make your travel more sustainable and eco-friendly! And by making small changes, you can make a big difference to the environment. Happy travels!

["short_description"]=>
string(174) "We often think of recycling as something done in industrial settings, but there are plenty of creative ways to repurpose and recycle things at home. Let's explore some ideas!"
["description"]=>
string(4833) "Recycling and upcycling old items are usually thought of as activities that take place in large manufacturing plants. However, there are plenty of ways to recycle and upcycle right in your own home.
A simple way to start recycling is by setting aside a separate bin for recyclable materials. You can also upcycle old clothes by donating them to local thrift stores or turning them into a cozy quilt. Home recycling can be as easy as refurbishing old furniture or transforming an old T-shirt into a reusable shopping bag. By recycling and upcycling at home, you can give new life to items you no longer use and help reduce environmental impact.
What's the Difference Between Upcycling and Recycling?
Recycling involves extending the life of a product by reusing and refurbishing it within the same product category. Upcycling, on the other hand, means turning old materials into new, different products or materials, expanding their usefulness.
Sometimes these definitions can get mixed up (at least for me), but both methods create a new life for items that would otherwise go to waste. We can reuse tin cans, glass bottles, and other materials to save Earth's resources.
Recycling Aluminum Cans
Did you know that recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to power a TV for three hours? Recycling aluminum cans is a fantastic way to conserve energy and reduce environmental stress. With a bit of creativity, you can think of many other recycling ideas for aluminum cans, such as making cookie cutters, candle holders, herb planters, pencil holders, coin boxes, and more.
Recycling Plastic
While not a new concept, according to research from National Geographic, 90% of plastic waste is not recycled. Plastic waste is a problem we face daily.
So why is only 10% of plastic recycled? Because not all plastics can be recycled easily. For example, plastic bags, straws, and paper cups are not recyclable! The best approach is to reduce the use of single-use plastics. You can use fabric tote bags for shopping, natural material straws (like reed or bamboo), thermal cups, and fabric cup sleeves instead of taking plastic ones from stores. Living a greener life without relying on plastic is easier than you think.
Recycling Glass
Glass recycling is a great way to express your creativity. You can use glass bottles to make cute candy jars, wall-mounted containers, insect jars, candle holders, liquid soap dispensers, or herb gardens. With a little effort, you'll find many great ideas for recycling glass.
Recycling Paper
Did you know that recycling paper is very easy to do? Recycling paper at home is a way to reduce environmental stress. You can create an art poster using images from old fashion magazines.
Recycling Food Waste
Food waste accounts for about one-third of city trash. It is a significant environmental issue. Food waste can be recycled into compost or animal feed. You can compost with worms at home, even in an apartment. By composting or feeding worms with organic waste, you can recycle food scraps into nutritious fertilizer. If you live in the suburbs, you can feed chickens, pigs, or goats with household leftovers.
Recycling Fabrics
Old clothes can be challenging to recycle. The best approach is to turn old clothes into other items to extend the material's life. Don't worry! You can find many ideas for recycling old jeans, hoodies, or dresses with a bit of sewing experience. Fashion recycling is a way to reduce waste in the environment.
Reselling Electronics
Don't throw away electronic devices, as they may still have value. You can donate old electronics or sell them on Facebook for a bit of cash. Reselling old devices supports sustainable living. Give it a try! You probably have a few or many electronic devices you haven't used in over 12 months.
In Conclusion...
Recycling is an effective way to turn waste into valuable, useful products. With the growing awareness of a green planet, recycling is becoming more creative and important. You can also join the local creative recycling team to help protect the Earth.

But what does that mean exactly? And how can you make the switch to a sustainable lifestyle? In this blog post, we will explore those questions and more! We will discuss the basics of sustainability and provide tips for making your life more eco-friendly. So read on to learn more about sustainable living!
What is sustainability?
The word "sustainability" comes from the Latin word “Sustinere”, which means "to hold up." In terms of ecology, sustainability refers to the ability of an ecosystem to endure and thrive in the present without compromising the ability of future generations to do the same. This means that we must find ways to meet our present needs without harming the environment or depleting its resources.
There are three key pillars of sustainability: environmental, social, and economic. Each pillar is important in its own way and must be considered when making decisions about sustainable living.
The Environmental Pillar
The environmental pillar of sustainability is all about protecting the planet we live on. This includes taking steps to reduce our carbon footprint, conserving energy, and recycling and reusing materials. It also means being mindful of the products we use and the way we produce them. For example, choosing sustainable fashion brands that use sustainable materials like organic cotton or bamboo.
Tips - Saving energy by shutting off standby equipment, using air conditioner with fans, lowering the electricity usage
The Social Pillar
The social pillar of sustainability is about respecting the rights of people and the planet. This includes things like sustainable tourism, fair trade, and sustainable food production. It also means being mindful of the way we use natural resources. For example, choosing sustainable wood products that come from sustainable forests, not from the massive uncontrolled tree cuts.
Tips - Sustainable traveling, a company-sponsored team building retreat, knowing the supply chain of your purchase
The Economic Pillar
The economic pillar of sustainability is about creating a sustainable economy. This includes things like sustainable investing, sustainable banking, and renewable energy. It also means being mindful of the way we use natural resources.
Tips - Buying food ingredients from organic farming, shopping at vintage and pre-owned clothing shops, working for socio-economic enterprises, recycling and upcycling
How can I make the switch to a sustainable lifestyle?
If you're interested in making the switch to a sustainable lifestyle, but don't know where to start, don't worry! We've got you covered. Below are some tips for making the switch to sustainable living.
- Reduce your carbon footprint by driving less and using public transportation or carpooling when possible.
- Conserve energy by turning off lights and electronics when not in use, unplugging appliances when they're not in use, and using energy-efficient appliances.
- Recycle and reuse materials whenever possible.
- Choose sustainable fashion brands that use sustainable materials like organic cotton or bamboo.
- Choose sustainable wood products that come from sustainable forests.
- Support sustainable businesses and invest in sustainable initiatives.
- Spread awareness about the importance of sustainability and how everyone can make a difference.
Sustainability is important for the health of our planet and the people who live on it. By making small changes in our everyday lives, we can all do our part to create a sustainable future. So what are you waiting for? Start making sustainable choices today!

That's right - most of us are using way more water than we need without even realizing it! In this blog post, we will discuss some clever ways to save water and help the environment. We will also provide tips on how to conserve water indoors and outdoors. By following these simple steps, you can make a big difference in terms of conserving our planet's precious resources!
Turn off the water while you are brushing your teeth
When it’s time to brush your teeth, simply run the water just enough to wet your toothbrush and immediately turn it back off again. Brush your teeth for the necessary duration, spit into the sink, and then run the water just enough to rinse your toothbrush and wash the toothpaste down the drain. It’s a common habit to let the water run while you brush, but the water going down the drain is simply wasted, and it’s more than you might think.
This can save up to 15 liters of water per day! You should do it.
Take shorter showers
Do you know how much water are you consuming for 10 mins shower? The average 10-minute shower uses about 68 liters of water! Simply reducing the amount of time you are in the shower can save water. Taking shorter, and colder showers can save both water and energy
Fix any leaks in your plumbing system as soon as possible
Fixing easily corrected household water leaks can save homeowners about 10 percent on their water bills. You can think of your showerhead, toilet, dripping faucets, and kitchen sink. Fixing the dripping problem can save water in your house.
Run your dishwasher and washing machine only when they are full
It is perfectly normal to leave your dishes and laundry in the dishwasher and washing machine for another day. After all, running the dishwasher and washing machine when it is not full is a waste of energy and water.
This will save both energy and water!
Water your plants and garden wisely
- Reuse grey water from the house (bathwater/washing up water)
Soaps won’t cause any harm to your plants, though you should avoid using this on any edibles.
- Water your plants low down, at the roots
So that more water gets into the soil, avoid spraying the leaves to decrease the risk of leaf scorch.
- Water at the start or end of the day
When the sun isn’t so hot, less water will evaporate, and watering in peak sunshine can harm your plants. Make it a morning or evening task.
- Try to water your plants thoroughly but less frequently
To avoid wasting water and to encourage the plant to grow deeper roots.
- Install as many water butts as possible to harvest rainwater
which is better for your plants than tap water.
Summary
Water conservation is an important issue that we all need to be aware of. By following these simple tips, you can make a difference in terms of helping our planet conserve its precious resources. Thanks for reading!

In today's world, it's more important than ever to take time out for yourself and connect with the natural world. In this post, we will discuss 10 ways that you can connect with nature and rejuvenate your mind, body, and soul. So what are you waiting for? Start reading!
Taking a walk in the park, going for a hike, or visiting a nature preserve
Get up close and personal with nature and greenery when you embark on any one of the walking, going for a hike, or cycling trails in the parks and nature preserves. You can get up close to nature by breathing the fresh air, hearing birds chirping and river running.
Planting a garden
Are you looking for that special connection with nature? Albert Einstein said, “A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space… Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.” Planting is an awesome way to keep nature in its beauty and to give something back to our nature.
Planting a garden can be as easy as starting to plant in your office. You will be a farmer but in an easy way by having all the necessary tools to be able to transform simple seeds into a lively pot of flowers. Check what CHUS offers here.
Listening to the rain
Are you the type of person who enjoys the sound of rain? You might find that hearing raindrops on your roof, or your window has a calming effect on you. You aren't alone in feeling this way, and many different people find rain to have a soothing impact on their mood.
You might find yourself saying things such as "I love the rain" due to the therapeutic impact that nature has on you. Even if some of your friends don't share your enthusiasm for rain, they will likely find many different aspects of nature to be very calming. Take a look at the information below to get a better idea of how nature can be both therapeutic and healing. Whether you're talking about the sounds of rain or the impact of spending some time outdoors, you should never underestimate the power of nature.
Eating natural foods
The food we eat is our connection to nature and the universe. We’ve all heard the phrase “you are what you eat” and this is true, on both a physical and spiritual level. Biologically, your body uses the food you eat as building blocks for new cells, so on that level, the food you eat literally becomes you. That’s why you need to eat natural foods and avoid artificial foods.
Tips!
- Buy organic fruits and vegetables.
- Buy small amounts of organic free-range meat.
- Choose organic soy products.
- Cut back or eliminate all meat, fish, and dairy products.
- Eliminate all factory-farmed meat and farmed fish from your diet.
Aromatherapy
It can be difficult to maintain a sense of connection with the earth and its natural, balanced rhythm when you are trying to keep up with countless to-dos, your environmental surroundings, and online meetings! When we are feeling out of sync, we can use aromatherapy as a powerful method to ground ourselves.
Breathing in and out with essential oils can help us emotionally and physically connect with the present moment, as well as find balance mentally, spiritually, and energetically.
Find out locally crafted natural oils from mother nature here!
Meditation
Meditation is all about breathing in and out. When we sit on the ground during our nature meditations, our body's rhythm synchronizes with the earth's natural vibrations so that we can actually breathe in and out with nature. This harmony greatly enhances the experience of meditation. It may seem that our senses are heightened – our hearing feels sharper and our skin receptors feel more sensitive.
Nature journaling
Nature journaling is the practice of writing in response to wild (and not so wild) spaces - writing something at your balcony, for example. Research has shown that it, like other forms of mindfulness, can reduce stress, increase cognition and boost immune system functioning — all things that seem useful in our pandemic times. It has certainly helped me weather this storm and I believe that it offers something small but tangible to all of us.
Artwork
Not only does the earth provide us with everything we need to survive, like air and foods, but it also provides us with inspiration for art. The magnificent beauty of nature has inspired many artists whether it is the array of colors in a sunset or the natural geometry of a pinecone. Some take the beauty and transpose it into an entirely new medium such as a canvas, wall or sculpture; however, some artists actually manipulate nature and turn it into art. This is most commonly called "Land Art" and is a great way to be connected with nature. Stone stacking is a great example of Land Art. Be an artist today!
Which of these ways to connect with nature resonates with you the most? What will you do today to connect with the natural world? Let’s connect more with nature to keep our body and mind healthy.
