This isn't even half of the potato crop from the garden. And just like that I suddenly have a huge glut problem.

Am beginning to regret not planning this out better.....

This photo does illustrate the importance of the home vegetable grower though. About 60% of this crop would not meet commercial standards and would be thrown away. The home grower uses everything. Zero food miles, zero waste and maximum value from water inputs.

One really annoying thing about going minimal/zero waste that they kind of don't warn you about is if you were NOT a backpack/tote/bag bitch WELL YOU ARE NOW!!!

Brauchst du weniger als zwei 35 Liter Abfallsäcke pro Monat für deinen Abfall?

"Die Schweiz gehört bei der Menge der Siedlungsabfälle pro Person weltweit zu den Spitzenreitern. Der globale Materialaufwand beläuft sich in der Schweiz auf aktuell 47 Tonnen pro Kopf und Jahr. Die Wirtschaftsstärke der Schweiz sowie die Kaufkraft der Bevölkerung begünstigen den hohen Rohstoffbedarf und Konsum. Im heutigen Markt- und Regulierungsumfeld fehlen für viele Hersteller die Anreize, Produkte langlebig und reparierbar zu gestalten, beziehungsweise auf ihre Weiterverwendbarkeit zu achten. Viele der Rohstoffe (Mineralien, Biomasse, fossile Energieträger und andere Materialien) werden aufgrund der oben genannten Faktoren rasch zu Abfall. Mit der Inkraftsetzung der Abfallverordnung VVEA hat der Bundesrat bereits im Jahr 2016 ein starkes Zeichen für die Kreislaufwirtschaft gesetzt. Auch im Aktionsplans 2021–2023 zur Strategie Nachhaltige Entwicklung 2030 zielen verschiedenste Massnahmen auf den Konsum und die Produktion ab. Dazu gehören beispielsweise Massnahmen gegen die Lebensmittelverschwendung, die Überarbeitung der Aussenwirtschaftsstrategie oder die Stärkung des Monitorings der Auswirkungen von Freihandelsabkommen."

I'm going through my entire storage:

I found about 30ish pages of FNAF PACK stickers (biblically accurate sun n moon heads, sl jacket, both drop candies, pickle monty, superstar freddy) in a binder and I've discontinued most of them and they're no longer compatible with my machine since they were printed with old guidelines before the Cricut update

However I feel like trash if I just throw them away cause,,wasteful so I'm gonna cut them out by hand and sell them for 50% off in kofi store later today (there was also some IZ pages but I haven't counted them yet)

I'll also be putting together miscuts/misprint baggies again, I havent counted how many there will be but there is a LOT of miscut/misprint of the Reaper Moon from October. I will also be throwing Miscut and Misprints prints into the sticker bags with the corresponding fandoms this time, I have a lot of 4x6s...so, free miscut/misprint print with your miscut stickers? lmao

#sara shush #hi im going through my entire room storage! its very messy #we dont waste in this house if we can help it so i hate throwing away stickers that have like a minor detail wrong with it #or its slightly too yellow or something #but yeah im trying to minimize my storage right now! a lot of these are stuff from last year

🚨🚨 HEY YOU. YES, YOU. 🚨🚨

DO YOU LOVE A GOOD DEAL? DO YOU HATE FOOD WASTE? ME TOO.

I feel like I am obligated to shout at each of you about a new app I've just discovered. Let me tell you about Too Good To Go. This app aims to minimize food waste by allowing restaurants, convenience stores, bakeries, food trucks, etc to sell perfectly good food that would otherwise be wasted at a discounted rate. Each restaurant sets a price for their Surprise Bag that you can reserve to pick up at designated times of the day.

I got my first Surprise Bag today from one of my favorite local cupcake bakeries. One cupcake usually costs $4, but I got a box of 9 "naked cupcakes" for $4.99. I just grabbed a tub of their frosting for $5 to frost them here at home, and for $10 I have what would ordinarily be a $36 box of cupcakes!!

There are a ton of different places participating in my area, and it's not just here in the US! Check it out and do your part to minimize waste. 😊

Anyone else have near-perfect executive function at work; but at home, have literally no energy or motivation to do anything except lie in a dark room, with something in or on your ears for several hours?

#It’s got to be the schedule keeping me on task at work #I love microdosing strict routines (not having an actual routine for the day; but having routines for small tasks #which piss me off if I can’t carry them out precisely the way I planned) #For instance: If I’m asked to paperclip a bunch of stuff together with multicolored paperclips of various sizes #I cannot just indiscriminately pick paperclips from the container because that is WRONG and ILLEGAL #The colors must fit the theme of the assignments; and the colors must alternate in a specific order #and the paperclips must all be the same size #If I’m asked to dump out and clean containers of writing utensils I am going to sort them by type and color #whether you like it or not #Black permanent markers have their own container in a different section from the blue permanent markers #Dry-erase markers are not to be mixed with permanent markers because they are easily confused and it is WRONG and ILLEGAL #Do not fuck with the system. It’s the only organizational skill I have and by fucking GOD I’m going to use it in EXCESS #I stuff and fill out envelopes the exact same way every time because if I do it any other way it is WRONG and ILLEGAL #The stamp always goes on last to minimize monetary waste if there is a mistake #Now you’d think my room is squeaky clean and organized because of how particular I am about these small tasks #Right? Right? #NO IT IS NOT. It looks like a bomb went off. Cleaning the room is a big task which cannot be accomplished within two hours #therefore I have discarded it as anything I need a routine for because it would take too long to come up with #and it is very hard for me to do things like that without instructions or a sense of consistency #So I simply don’t #“After five years the dust doesn’t get any worse” correct; but the mold certainly does #I am convinced half my problems with organization as a kid would have been solved if I just had a hamper #“We have a clothes chute; you don’t need a hamper” Maybe you don’t but I DO #I want one now; but I’m going to use it as incentive to get an apartment #because that’s another thing I need to smuggle and I have too much already

Easy zero waste tip no. 5: Paradoxically, you need to throw things away sometimes.

When I first went to college, I bought kitchen supplies for my dorm room. When I moved out of my parents' house, I bought some more. When I moved to a house, I bought even more. I was gifted more. I inherited more. More more more.

My kitchen became absolutely stuffed full of things, most of which I either didn't use, couldn't find, or didn't like but dealt with because hey, I already had it and didn't want to buy another.

Eventually, I sat down and pulled everything out of the shelves, the drawers, the baskets, the cabinets, absolutely everything. I was shocked to discover I had dozens of wooden spoons, but no pasta utensil. Seemingly a billion glass containers and only half of their matching lids. Like 6 pairs of tongs? For some reason?

I picked out the things I knew I used, and the things I knew I would use if I actually knew where they were. I was able to sell a few things, donate about half the rest, and the remaining, I unfortunately had no choice but to throw them away. I filled an entire trash bag, and then some, and felt terrible about it.

Then the most miraculous thing happened.

Since then, I haven't bought a single new thing for my kitchen. Meal prep has been easy. Making food in the moment has been easy. I love spending time in my kitchen, it's clean, organized, and fun. There's no stress anymore- and no compulsive need to buy when I couldn't find things, because hey, I know where everything is.

My waste has been significantly reduced by cutting the clutter out. And this is a principle that can apply to every aspect of your life.

Declutter your closet, you'll only wear outfits you love, and you won't feel nearly as much of a need to buy better all the time.

Declutter your bookshelves, and you'll only be surrounded by books you actually love and/or want to read, without feeling the need to buy more that will just end up being tossed out without ever being cracked open.

Declutter your bathroom, and you'll actually use all of the products you have with far less waste that goes bad before you can use it.

Et cetera.

Surround yourself with things you love, rather than just with lots of things.

I planted far too many seed potatoes last season and have been struggling with a produce glut ever since. My freezer is well stocked with frozen mashed potato portions!

These little odd bods are the last of the great glut event. They are soft and were sprouting. They were a bugger to peel. But I hate food waste. So tonight they found their way into a potato and leek soup. Simple to make and delicious to eat.

For the first time in months I am now a household without potatoes.

Hooray!!!!!

been trying to do core workouts (cant do situps but i found some other things i can do) and im surprised to report my midsection had actually thickened out a little. its subtle, but i feel closer to how my body looked on T. a little less hourglass, a little closer to tree trunk. it makes me wonder what could happen if i continue

#been working out very minimally but doing what i can. else i feel like im wasting away #and being active is supposed to help lower inflammation. so! we're back at it

STATIONERY RAMBLE AHEAD IM AUTISTIC SO BEWARB

i really wanna make shitajikis (writing boards) for my store and for conventions but its such a weird specific thing!!! i only just learned about how theres like collectors out there for short runs of shitajikis with anime art on em and i really like using mine for writing and drawing so now i really wanna make them with MY art on em!!!

BUT ough auhgijk is that too  specific. is that too niche. like ik theres folks that just collect them to display them so its kind of like an expensive plastic print and like. ive SEEN lenticular prints at cons before so i feel like there is at least some evidence of plastic prints being something worth making but. stationery fans help me rationalize my need to make this

like ok for those of u that arent sure what this is: its like a flexible but sturdy plastic sheet that you can use under the page you’re writing on to create a nicer writing surface and stabilize the page (esp if ur near the end of the book and dont have a lot of paper to rely on for cushioning) PLUS they can have rulers or grids on them to help line up writing or measure stuff and ahh i love them. i like the little tab that hobonichis have too like a bookmark/page keeper

im still struggling with how to make them (plastic printing is expensive) and im kinda figuring out either some sort of print-at-home brand of plastic or doing a sticker on some plastic sheets that i then cut to size or something but my goal is something solid and waterproof that’ll last and grr i’m gonna figure it out aaaah

#i want it to be something i do at home so i can minimize waste and make them exactly how i want #and also because plastic printing calls for larger MOQs than i can manage #i'm not big enough for that and i don't think art always has to be big wholesale made #i dont need everything i do to become big yknow #its like plushie making id rather do them by hand than have them manufactured #shitajiki #writing board
