MARI MENANAM POHON

Mungkin himbauan menanam pohon sudah sering kita dengar dan baca, namun apakah kita benar-benar sudah melakukannya?

Desember ditetapkan pemerintah sebagai Bulan Menanam Pohon Nasional, sedangkan tangal 28 November adalah Hari Menanam Pohon Nasional. Semua pasti sudah tahu manfaat pohon bagi bumi dan kehidupan manusia. Selain sebagai perindang, habitat binatang, menjaga struktur tanah dari longsor, menyuburkan tanah, dan mencegah banjir, pepohonan yang kita tanam punya fungsi vital, yaitu penyerap karbon dioksida dan penyedia oksigen.

Slogan “Banyak Pohon, Banyak Rejeki” rasanya sangat tepat dipilih, bila melihat fungsi-fungsi pohon yang sangat esensial bagi kehidupan manusia. Lalu apa yang bisa kita lakukan untuk berpartisipasi dalam Bulan Menanam Pohon Nasional ini?

Ideal untuk ditanam adalah bibit tumbuhan keras, seperti Trembesi, Mahoni, Tanjung atau tanaman buah seperti Mangga dan Rambutan. Sedangkan tanaman hias atau tanaman taman kurang efektif.

Seringkali, kita yang hidup di perkotaan mengalami kesusahan untukturut andil dalam gerakan menaam pohon ini. Alasan nya mulai dari yang sederhana seperti tak ada waktu, hingga alasan tak punya lahan untuk ditanami.

Tapi jangan takut, berikut ini tips-nya:
  1. Tanam pohon keras di sekitar rumah. Pilihlah pohon buah seperti mangga atau rambutan, sehingga nantinya kita juga bisa memetik hasil plus.
  2. Beli bibit pohon dan sumbangkan ke kampus atau tempat kerja. Coba tanya ke tukang kebun kampus atau kantor, siapa tahu mau membantu menanam nya, jangan lupa beri sedikit “bonus” sebagai kompensasi.
  3. Bibit pohon bisa kamu sumbangkan ke sekolah-sekolah di sekitar tempat tinggal kita. Coba cek dengan bertanya ke pihak SD, SMP, SMA terdekat.
  4. Browsing internet untuk menemukan pihak-pihak, baik LSM, gerakan-gerakan lingkungan, maupun lainnya yang menerima donasi berupa uang untuk digunakan dalam kegiatan penanaman pohon. 
  5. Ubah hadiah ulang tahun, natal, tahun baru atau valentine dengan memberi hadiah pohon ke teman-teman, saudara, dan relasi pekerjaan.
  6. Yang paling gampang, terus sebarkan semangat menanam pohon dan merawatnya terus-menerus setiap saat melaalui akun jejaring sosial kita.


Fluff

I was strangely drawn to this orange pile of fluff when I came across it a while back. I think Prada's AW collection might have had something to do with that. But I would say anything colourful that gets me excited at this time of year has to be worth buying.

Still no proper snow in Finland, I would almost go as far as saying I miss the weather in London.

Online fashion week with Bengt

Photography by: Martin Zahringer

I'm taking part in Vogue's online fashion week with Bengt, who I became familiar with through the brand Moxham I featured a few weeks ago. Bengt specialises in selling unique, up and coming designer pieces, all so geniusly beautiful that I literally jumped on the change to do the feature for them!

I put together my favorite outfit from their selection, I liked the skirt together with the thick knit and the option to wear the jacket was kind of a no-brainer.. isn't it beautiful? To top it all of I added a Moxham necklace, my favorite.

Bengt has also been kind enough to offer my dearest readers a 30 % discount valid from the 5th to the 9th. Be sure to enter the code 5INCH30 at checkout.

Happy shopping xxx

With a swedish influence


 cos hoodie
h&m vest
zara skirt

Apologies for the slow updates lately, still one long week to push through before I can escape the city for a little country getaway.

I spotted this hoodie originally on Columbine's blog, who is doing a really good job at the styling of Styleby magazine. I then later accidentally came across the jumper in the menswear department of Cos.. with it's cosy thick scuba material, it just had to be mine. Also on monday my Nowhere shoes arrived! you might already guess what I'm going to say next.. I wish the heel was higher. Nevertheless I've been using them all week and they are surprisingly comfortable.

ps. I've been so taken by your positive feedback on the Grazia feature! love you all xxx
