I was excited to see how @HP has made their Ink and Toner Recycling Program free and easily accessible to their customers! ♻️✨ It’s a collaborative solution that helps keep more e-waste out of landfills, but only works if we play our part.

Zero-waste mango syrup 🤠🥭💅 It’s almost impossible to get all the good stuff off a mango pit, but I have officially found the best way to ensure none of it goes to waste! Let me know if you try this… should I make a part 2 on how best to use it? #mangoseason #mango #minimalism #sustainability #zerowaste #lowwaste #plasticfree #sustainable #ecohome #environmentalist #foodwaste #minimalist #foodwastetip #foodwastesolution #foodwasteprevention #compost #cooking #recipe #slowliving #slowlifestyle #sundayreset #refill #refillable #plasticfreejuly

What is the Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt, and how might it impact you? 🌊This 5000 mile long wad of floating seaweed hangs out in the Atlantic Ocean and can be seen from space stretching from the Gulf of Mexico all the way to the Congo - and in recent years it has grown larger 🐠In the open sea, this mass of algae is a great habitat for marine life and functions as an excellent carbon sink, 🏝️However when it reaches shallow waters (which it typically will do around May, it’s a bit early this year…) it can smother coral reefs, deplete the water of oxygen resulting in fish death, block intake valves, and prevent boats from passing through 🥚And once it reaches the beach it begins to rot and smell like rotten eggs (hydrogen sulfide) which in high concentrations can cause certain health problems (especially if you’re pregnant) 🪴Ideally it would make an awesome fertilizer or soil amendment like other seaweeds can - BUT sargassum tends to have a higher concentration of heavy metals like arsenic which can make it problematic 📈Now this habitat is important, but the rate it is growing is alarming 🌳It’s fed by an increase in nutrients like phosphorous and nitrogen that come from fertilizer runoff, deforestation, soy farming, and other human activities. And increased flooding from climate change doesn’t really help either. 👩🏼‍🔬Scientists are working to find solutions, such as sinking it into the deep sea as a form of carbon storage, removing the arsenic and using it for fertilizer, biofuels, or even biodegradable plastics 🤿Tip for you if you see it on your beach - Don’t swim in it - it may have little organisms living in it like jellyfish larvae that may sting you #sargassum #scicomm #marinebiology #environmentalist #sciencenews

NATURE IS BEAUTIFULLY DIVERSE 🌈 queer ecology is about challenging our assumptions of right and wrong. it asks us to interrogate the values that underlie our decision to deem one thing natural and another thing not. it makes space for us to re-imagine the relationships between humans and non-humans, between different species in our ecosystem. queer ecology is cool <3 #queerecology #ecology #ecotok #queer #science #biology #stem #scicomm #butterfly #naturefacts #sciencetok #sciencefacts #bugs #entomology #insects #environmentalist

Let’s turn food waste into a simple botanical dye project 🥑🎨 Gather all your avocado pits and skins in a container in the freezer & hang onto them until you have enough to fill a pot (you don’t need this many) then cover with water & bring to a boil. We added baking soda to make the pigment stronger. Some people encourage you to use a mordant, but we don’t find it necessary. The longer your pot simmers for, the more color is able to be extracted from the avocado pits & skins. We let ours go for over an hour. Once it’s cooled down, thoroughly strain out all the solids & transfer your dye into a large bin, preferably with a lid. Add in your pre-washed & pre-soaked fabrics, fully submerge them in the dye, put your lid back on, & let it sit! Ours sat for 5-6 days. Stay tuned for part 2 (coming tomorrow 👀) to see the final result! #minimalism #sustainability #zerowaste #lowwaste #plasticfree #sustainable #ecohome #environmentalist #foodwaste #minimalist #foodwastetip #foodwastesolution #foodwasteprevention #diy #ecoreset #botanicaldye #naturaldye #avocadodye #dyeing

To all my fellow clean freaks out there, meet these zero waste & non-toxic Clorox wipes, inspired by my internet friend @Kasha 🧼🤍 Real deal Clorox wipes contain harsh chemicals & are a single-use product— they go straight to landfill after you toss them, & since they’re made of synthetic fibers, they will never truly break down. Choosing reusables is always the best way to go, but when it comes to bacteria, a standard eco cleaning spray just won’t cut it. Enter these DIY wipes! All you need is a large upcycled jar, reusable cloths of any kind (these are from @ZeroWasteStore.com) & some 70% concentration rubbing alcohol. Fun fact: the CDC recommends 70% because it takes a bit longer to evaporate, which leaves more time for the alcohol to kill any germs 🦠 This is more cost-effective, too— rubbing alcohol is cheap & the cloths are a one-time purchase that just get tossed in the washer when the time comes 💕 Let me know if you give this a try! Happy sanitizing 🙏🏽 #minimalism #sustainability #zerowaste #lowwaste #plasticfree #sustainable #ecohome #environmentalist #foodwaste #minimalist #foodwastetip #foodwastesolution #foodwasteprevention #compost #cooking #recipe #slowliving #slowlifestyle #slowlifestyle #cleanwithme #diy #ecoclean #cleaning

EATING GARBAGE is back 🤠🤠🤠 If you cook or bake with apples, this one’s for you! Throw any apple scraps (peels, cores, etc.) in a mason jar, cover with water & a spoonful of sugar & let sit.

Now this saves me from one of my weekend task, that's cleaning my grown up teenager's ears. Not one but 2 of them has dry ear wax and imagine having to put a small torchlight in my mouth, shining in while cleaning their ears. With Otoscope Visual Ear Wax Removal kit, they can simply clean their ears themselves. It's also safe for toddlers too.

A few more unique ways to use up any leftover citrus (lemons this time) in a sustainable way— we don’t even let the peels go to waste in this house 🍋🫙 I’ve been loving lemon ice cubes for sparkling water (you could use lime or even grapefruit or orange too!) and I’ve been making this citrus vinegar cleaner for years now with no issues!

Didn’t you hear we’re boycotting @Starbucks ??? You don’t need to give a massive corporation (whose ethics don’t align with yours 👀) ANOTHER $7 for a lavender iced coffee, ESPECIALLY when it’s this easy to make your own at home! Buying coffee every day really ends up costing you a lot of money and wasting tons of single-use plastic. I love a good coffee date every once in awhile, but once you master the at-home iced latte, you realize how wild it is to spend $30+ a week at cafes! Also, contrary to popular belief, you don’t need a bunch of expensive equipment to make a good coffee at home. Lavender cold brew takes only a bit of thinking ahead and a few minutes of prep to make. Just grind your favorite beans with some culinary-grade lavender (certainly beats artificial flavors and colors), add to a French press (bought this one for $7 five years ago), top with room temperature filtered water and let sit overnight on your countertop. In the morning, pour over ice with a splash of homemade plant milk and optional sweetener— see my simple syrup video from last week for a budget-friendly option! This is truly my favorite method for at-home iced coffee, and that’s coming from a former barista! I truly use this method five times more often than I use my espresso machine. You don’t need a fancy cold brew maker either! Sometimes, simple is best. Let me know if you try this. I love you!

I needed a duffel-like bag for my trip. My first thoughts are not to Google “sustainable travel bags” and swallow the cost, they’re not to find it on Amazon and promise myself I’ll use it enough, they’re not even to go out and try to thrift it. My first thought is to look around my home for something I already have. Luckily, this giant IKEA bag has been reliable for many trips. 😂❤️ (P.S. this was just a joke and no one *actually* made fun of me for using this bag. Proof that sustainability is cool. ✌️) Your life isn’t more valuable with overconsumption. I know I will reminisce on the memories made and not what travel bag I brought with me. Cheers to teaching ourselves how to consume less for ourselves and for the planet in 2023. 🥂✨ #overconsumption #reuse #upcycle #ecofriendly #ecofriendlyliving #sustainability #sustainableliving #minimalism #consciousconsumer #environmentalist
