My mum strongly believed in the power of fresh air. Even when it was freezing, if one of us kids were sick, she’d throw open the windows to let in the clean, brisk New England air. In other cultures, this is a way of life. My twin sister US Director Dee loves to tell the story of her Scandinavian friends who would bundle up their baby and put him outside for his ‘fresh air time’ no matter the weather.⁠ ⁠ Paul’s connection to nature also runs deep. He grew up on a remote farm in Western Australia, where being outside wasn’t just a choice: it was life. He spent his days in the sheep yards, surrounded by open skies and red dirt. He experienced the familiar—the close monitoring of the seasons, the rhythm of farm life—alongside the awe invoked by the sheer scale of the horizons, the vastness, sometimes harshness of country.⁠ x Jess⁠ ⁠ #koalaeco #morenaturefeelbetter

When the long, grey months of winter are over, and the first green shoots start pushing up through the soil, the arrival of spring feels like a miracle we can never quite get used to. Days start getting longer, the air lighter and cleaner, and there’s a sense of things coming back to life.⁠ ⁠ No wonder we want to throw open windows and give our homes a thorough clean. It’s almost as if we’re sweeping the winter darkness, literally and metaphorically, from our lives and, just like nature, embracing revival and renewal.⁠ ⁠ According to some sources, the tradition of spring-cleaning comes from the Persian New Year, which falls on the first day of spring, and householders in Iran still practice khaneh tekani ‘shaking the house’ in preparation for this day.

As a family, and also for the team the ocean is a big part of our lives. There’s a great book by The New York Times reporter Damien Cave, called Into the Rip: How the Australian Way of Risk Made My Family Stronger. In it, Cave describes the differences between Australian and US cultures and how letting his kids take on certain challenges and risks helped them grow stronger, and that idea has really resonated with us. It felt important to let our boys experience the sea fully, so we gave them space to navigate rips and to surf from a young age. Now most days you will find them surfing, and making the most of an environment that is as familiar as it is challenging.⁠ ⁠ For us, the ‘More Nature, Feel Better’ messaging of Koala Eco isn’t just a tagline. It’s at the heart of everything we do, and is the best way of articulating what we’re about. We know, because our family is living it to the best of our ability, that spending life as much as possible outside makes a positive difference to life and health, and we want to share that experience with our community.⁠ 🌊 ⁠ Our giveback and philanthropic work focuses on nature, too, and particularly on supporting people to have meaningful connections with⁠ wildlife and the natural environment. x Jess

{Are Natural Hand Soaps Effective}⁠ 🌿 ⁠ With a natural hand soap, you’re looking for something that will remove dirt and germs, is environmentally friendly, gives sticky fingers a thorough clean and will still be kind to skin no matter how often it’s used. The Koala Eco range ticks all these boxes.⁠ ⁠ We produce two plant-based Natural Hand Washes, one with Rosalina and Peppermint, the other with Lemon Scented Eucalyptus and Rosemary. They are naturally aromatic (no synthetic perfumes) and have aromatherapeutic properties. For example, Rosemary is known to boost memory and immunity, relieve stress and improve mood. It’s also brilliant at helping to protect skin from irritation and infection.⁠ ⁠ Better still, Koala Eco products are certified biodegradable, non-toxic, vegan, grey-water and septic safe, and non-allergenic. They don’t contain any dyes, masking agents, synthetic perfumes, chlorine, bleach, sodium laurel sulfates or phosphates. They are also cruelty-free: nothing we make is or ever will be tested on animals.⁠ ⁠ #koalaeco #morenaturefeelbetter

Reflections on the Deeper Meaning⁠ behind ‘More Nature, Feel Better.’⁠ ⁠ In her classic nature memoir The Living Mountain, the late Scottish hill walker Nan Shepherd observed of the mountains she walked daily: ‘however often I walk on them, these hills hold astonishment for me. There is no getting accustomed to them.’⁠ ⁠ I think this captures something of what nature means. On the one hand, there’s a feeling of belonging and familiarity—nature has been an integral part of our lives since childhood—yet on the other, we’ve a constant sense of awe at nature’s power, resilience and sheer mystery.⁠ ⁠ The best memories are usually created from being outdoors: cold winters and long summer days outside from morning to night. There’s just something about fresh air and open spaces that feels good. Nature gets under your skin and into your senses in a way that your body will often remember before your brain catches up.⁠ Read more link in bio. x Jess⁠ ⁠ #koalaeco #morenaturefeelbetter ⁠

Simply rinsing will not cut it and organic produce has been shown to get cross-contaminated. Long term pesticide exposure has been linked gastrointestinal issues and metabolic disturbances including IBS. Studies involving agricultural workers have found that those handling certain pesticides have a higher incidence of melanoma. Dennis, L. K., Lynch, C. F., Sandler, D. P., Alavanja, M. C. R. (2010).

Rethinking Green: A Perspective⁠ ‘I cannot meet the spring unmoved –’[1] wrote poet Emily Dickinson (1830–1886). She called spring an ‘Experiment in Green.’[2]⁠ ⁠ We agree! It’s impossible not to feel uplifted as this season arrives, and so we’ve thought about ten things we love most about spring. Together, they considerably lighten the load of spring-cleaning.
