This year my right shoulder restricted me from posting daily and it took me a many weeks to edit and produce my Plastic Free July 2022 video in English and translated in Urdu.
This year I participated in Plastic Free July for the 4th consecutive year and translated my posts in Urdu for the first year.
This year I was thwarted with severe pain in my right shoulder and struggled to post everyday.
I haven't edited my video yet and hope to post it as soon as I am able.
For those interested in my posts I have posted on my social media handles

اس سال میں نے مسلسل چوتھے سال پلاسٹک فری جولائی میں حصہ لیا اور پہلے سال اپنی پوسٹس کا اردو میں ترجمہ کیا۔
اس سال میں اپنے دائیں کندھے میں شدید درد کی وجہ سے ناکام رہا اور ہر روز پوسٹ کرنے کے لیے جدوجہد کر رہا تھا۔
میں نے ابھی تک اپنے ویڈیو میں ترمیم نہیں کی ہے اور امید کرتا ہوں کہ جیسے ہی میں اسے پوسٹ کروں گا۔
میری پوسٹس میں دلچسپی رکھنے والوں کے لیے میں نے اپنے سوشل میڈیا ہینڈلز پر پوسٹ کیا ہے۔
Will you?

Missed another post yesterday due to painful shoulders.
Could @DeepHeat_UK tell me if the plastic packet and protective films for their Pain Relief Heat Patches are recyclable, compostable or biodegradable?
Thank you in advance!

Question: Very tasty, but, why aren't these bars packaged in recyclable or sustainable packaging @marksandspencer?

Due to my three surgeries and Covid-19 I have found the challenge very difficult and challenging this year.
I'd like to reiterate that I hope to continue my plastic and zero waste journey and reduce my consumption of menstrual hygiene and cleaning products and learn how to make my own soap, body wash, bread, conditioner and compost my waste..
It will be a long work in progress one that I am very passionate to change.
I hope to continue with Plastic Free July as long as I physically can.
Thank you for reading my blog and supporting a world with less plastic and zero waste.
Love, peace and blessings...

This month my right shoulder is still very painful and I have struggled to record this vlog and type this blog.
This month I supported fairtrade fortnight 2024 and celebrated Fairtrade's 30th Anniversary.
Here is my Easy Fairtrade Cocoa and Fairtrade Bananas Recipe which I baked for Fairtrade Fortnight 2024.
I have tried my best to translate this recipe in Urdu.
یہ ہے میری ایزی فیئرٹریڈ کوکو اور فیئر ٹریڈ کیلے کی ترکیب جسے میں نے فیئر ٹریڈ فورٹ نائٹ 2024 کے لیے پکایا تھا۔
میں نے اس ترکیب کا اردو میں ترجمہ کرنے کی پوری کوشش کی ہے۔
