Our story begins with a cynical outlook on a world polluted by our perceptions of a "Modern Civilisation". Polluted, Depleted & Unsustainable. It was always easier to say:"What can I do? The problem is much bigger than me. I don't have the power to change the world"TRUE…. but we eventually realised that we did posses the power to change our own World.And so began our journey of replacing our polluting lifestyle, with a more sustainable way of life. Along this journey, we moved Off-Grid, started growing our own food, keeping ducks, chickens and bees. But it was never enough. We began to re-evaluate our needs, and re-define our resources. Constantly searching for a more sustainable way of life. Memories of our grandparents often surfaced, remembering their sometimes unorthodox methods. Like storing potatoes in a box of dirt under the house, instead of cleaned and in a pantry. Amazingly enough, they lasted for months under the house. Or hanging the lids of tin cans, on their fruit trees to deter birds. Or spraying their plants with a solution of garlic and water to keep pests away, instead of using pesticides. Their simplistic ingenuity was often astounding.Thus began yet another quest into the Self Sustaining Lifestyle. The long journey of research and knowledge led us as far back as Ancient Egypt. Where we learnt that they had used cloth coated in beeswax to preserve their food. Our long journey, driven by curiosity and determination, eventually saw our little quest evolve into something that would be so much more:Eco Food Wraps…handmade using organic cotton, coated in a beeswax/Trees Resin Blend.
