Another stunning option from Anthropologie, these colourful coasters come with vibrant tones and intricate design details. Handmade in Portugal, they give a nod to the ceramic wall and floor tiles you’d find there. Seagrass meadows are the powerhouses of coastal seas providing a nature-based solution to climate change. They have been neglected for decades, which has led to their large-scale degradation and loss. This loss now provides an opportunity for environmental renewal through large-scale restoration. What is seagrass? Seagrass meadows create a highly efficient and long-term store of carbon, meaning the restoration and protection of these habitats is vital in helping to combat climate change.

Round, handwoven, natural seagrass and jute coaster with a coloured trim, to add a splash of colour to your table design.Opting for natural coasters like these is an easy way to create a relaxed, beachy vibe in your home. The White Company does them well; choose between handmade jute designs from Fair Trade Bangladeshi suppliers and seagrass versions, hand-woven in Vietnam.

Jute plants help to clean the air. During growth they take in three times more CO2 than the average tree, converting this CO2 into oxygen. As these plants grow fast, they are often used in crop rotation. The leaves and roots left after harvest enrich the soil with micronutrients, maintaining soil fertility.These coasters are sold individually, so you can choose to match or ‘mix & match’ to suit your colour preference. Jute plants are easy to grow, have a high yield per acre and, unlike cotton, have little need for pesticides and fertilisers. Jute grows during the rainy season in Bangladesh. The plants are ready to harvest in four to six months, after the flowers are shed. Blue refers to the marine environment, which refers to everything in the deep ocean, through to the land and areas that are influenced by the salty water of the sea, and the soils and sediments below them.

ReSOW UK will provide scientific evidence and a strategic vision for ecological renewal. It will further facilitate informed management and restoration of seagrass for sustainable social, environmental, and economic net gains for the UK. Seagrass is constructed of many leaves, roots and stems that create a network of fibres running through the water column. This slows down the flow of water as it runs past these habitats, and so material in the water is likely to settle in areas of seagrass and therefore in the sediments below them. With their unique patterns and styles, they’re perfect for eclectic and boho schemes, or anyone who wants to inject a bit of European sunshine into their own home. You’ll be able to choose between a few different design options. Seagrass and Jute Coasters Jute and seagrass are both sustainable plants due to their high yield and fast growth without the need for fertilisers or pesticides, making them eco-friendly materials.Seagrass is a marine plant which grows on the seabed. It is extremely productive, growing very fast and fixing a lot of carbon dioxide through the process of photosynthesis, the same way that land plants do. In recent years, habitats such as seagrass have become associated with the term blue carbon. What is blue carbon?
