I present to you: my garden 🍃🍃🍃 I’m working on building up my garden in my apartment’s balcony. Waiting to see if I’ll get lucky and no aphids or other little creatures come attack my small herb garden or if the winter will keep them away! What plants do you love to have in your garden?
Cyber Monday is a pretty wasteful day in general. This year try to be mindful for your spending and if you actually really need what you’re buying. Try to buy locally and maybe try to buy from online secondhand websites like eBay and OfferUp. 🍃🍃
I love being back home and seeing my garden box. I wish I could take this back with me to my apartment, but I don’t think it would actually fit. I need suggestions on having an apartment garden!! Do you live in an apartment? How do you have your plants at home? 🍃
I got these beautiful *100% recycled* glass cups at the thrift store today! they are exactly what I was looking for. I’m going to be putting these on my vanity to hold makeup brushes and such. Oh! And the best part is that they were just a dollar! • • • #thriftstorefinds #thrift #recycled #green #eco #ecofriendly #thrifting #makeup #vanity #vintage
This has me dying! Because it’s the truth! Let’s refocus on what’s important here: climate change!! Share anything you know about the effects of climate change to those around you and make sure everyone is aware of how our actions will affect our future!!
Spent the whole day trying to reduce my internet waste by unsubscribing to tons of email lists. Cloud servers waste so much energy! Data centers use around 6 to 12 percent of its electricity to actually compute things. 90% of the electricity is simply wasted. I also think receiving hundreds of useless emails everyday isn’t healthy for your mind either and the clutter it causes in your inbox is ridiculous. When was the last time you unsubscribed from email lists? 🌿
today, for the 4th day of #PlasticFreeJuly, I decided to try making some rose water + witch hazel toner! 🌹 I boiled (on low) 5-6 rose-worth of petals in filtered water for around thirty minutes. Then I poured it into this Sangria bottle and mixed equal parts rose water and witch hazel. The recipe I was following suggested leaving it in the fridge for at least a week, so that’s what I’ll do next. It’s a great way to use dying or wilting roses or roses from your own garden.
Did you know @adidasoriginals and @parley.tv are making strides to make shoes that are still fashionable and made from recycled plastic? I know reducing the consumption of material things is important, but if you’re going to buy new shoes, try to do it from a company that is making strides to better our planet! 🍃🌿💚
Some pretty (relatively) simple tips for anyone starting out in the zero waste lifestyle! 🌿🍃 What’s your best tip for anyone struggling to reduce their waste???
