Trend Spotting – What We Spotted [MAY EDITION]
23 May 2025
During Earth Day week, one thing united our community more than recycled tote bags and solar panels: real, everyday green habits. From DIY compost bins to impromptu street clean-ups, everyone has that go-to eco-act that gives our planet a little extra love
So, we turned to our Xamble Community on Instagram and asked:
“What’s the greenest thing you’ve ever done — and who inspires you to keep it up?” 🌍
The response? A wave of 75+ heartfelt stories, actionable tips, and genuine “aha” moments. We combed through every comment and ranked the top green acts based on how often they were mentioned. When habits tied in frequency, we let the variety of techniques tip the scale.
Here are the Top 5 Most Loved Earth Day Picks that truly stole our hearts — and taught us some invaluable lessons:
