A lot of stuff I hear in sustainability circles is oh, I still live at home what can I do?

Besties there is so much you can do.

You got chores? Dishes one of them?

You can fill up the sink with water and wash with just that. Less water than constantly running

I find that gross but my grandma does it. When I do dishes I use a jar with a drop of soap, fill it with water, and dip my scrub brush in that so I'm not wasting soap.

Dry dishes with a towel

Air dry your dishes

You can also ask if you can keep a potted plant (edible plants are bonus points) or a garden

Also bonus points if you use food scraps for a garden. That's a whole topic for another post another day but seriously look into it

Or you can trade plants with friends and neighbors

Or steal cuttings

You can wash your clothes on cold, ask if you can hang dry your clothes

You can use eco friendly laundry detergent, or just start using the actual amount needed. That stuff is so concentrated it isn't even funny

Use reusables whenever you can

Try to eat less processed foods

Try to eat more plant based

Try to limit your car trips

Take walks and pick up litter

Go to the beach and pick up litter

Bonus points for separating recyclables

Learn to repair your clothes, a basic sewing kit should be all you need for simple mends

Shop at yard sales, thrift shops, second hand, or local

Shampoo bars

Soap bars

Yes including hand soap

Weave baskets out of toilet paper rolls. No idea how you do it but I've seen it and they look pretty cool

Learn an "old fashioned" skill, like spinning yarn, canning, gardening, basket weaving, wood carving, etc

Try to be creative!! So much about Solarpunk and sustainability is about being creative with your solutions

Zero waste

Mai if you’re like me and you’re thinking of ways to be zero waste, but you aren’t really sure where to start, it’s all good! I’m learning to and I’ve come up with some ideas of how to do this without breaking the bank or throwing things away before it’s time! So if you’re like me and you love to read and you have a tablet or iPad or iPhone, I believe Samsung also has this option but I don’t have Samsung so I’m not sure (let me know if you do) but books on them! There should be an app called “books” on your apple device and it is what it looks like, a book store! Or you could borrow books from your local library, or buy them used from thrift stores market place or a used book store, that way you can still get your books while cutting down on waste!

Next! Instead of plastic single use water bottles, get a reusable one (prices can vary on these) you can get them used as well, or if you buy them new it’s a one time purchase (with hopefully no plastics) I use mine all the time and I love it!

Also bathrooms! Did you know deodorant can come in a cardboard container? If not now you do!! Zero waste and you don’t have to skip the deodorant, especially if you work in a hot building, and toothbrushes there are bamboo biodegradable toothbrushes that are soo much better for the environment!! And safety razors, I love mine (bambaw not sponsored) buy the blades and you’re set! You’ll never have to spend $15 on new razor blades again, the pack I got of enough to last at least two years, was like $5 !

And bamboo hair brush, it’s a great option and again biodegradable! And toothpaste and mouthwash tablets!! They come in little glass jars and there’s so little waste involved with all these all you have to do is just bite them and brush like normal or bite them and sip some water and swish like normal!!

Now ladies this one is for you, period underwear, menstrual cups/discs, or reusable pads! All of these are great options and don’t use any plastic and no chemicals like formaldehyde!!

Also a great and easy switch is instead of using plastic silverware just use regular silverware! I know you’re thinking “what about washing it how is that zero waste?!” Dishwashing soap but it’s bar soap (yes that is a thing) and instead of a sponge use bamboo scrub brushes! And lastly (for now) instead of paper towels use old shirts or towels or wash cloths that are reusable and washable.

I know I made this long, and I still have more ideas, but for now I’ll leave you with these ideas and if you’re interested in asking questions or learning more please feel free to contact me

Zero waste Lifestyle

  Zero waste is a philosophy and lifestyle that aims to minimize the amount of waste sent to landfills or incinerators by reducing, reusing, recycling, and composting materials. The goal of zero waste is to redesign systems and processes to eliminate waste generation at its source, rather than simply managing or disposing of waste after it’s created.

Hey Tumblr fam! We need to have a serious talk about food waste. Did you know that wasting food also means wasting the resources that went into producing it? 💧🌱 Here are some ways you can help:

Store leftovers: Use airtight containers to extend the life of your food.

Composting: Turn your food scraps into something useful.

Meal planning: A little planning goes a long way in reducing waste.

Let's be the change we want to see in the world! 🌍

I think my most toxic trait as a Zenos enjoyer is wanting to 1v1 everyone who says that Zenos actively wants to kill his opponents

Like, completely disregarding that it is actively ignoring the text even in StB there (and that he consistently wants the WoL especially to live), he, uh, is written as having a desire for more the opposite to happen. Very, very consistently. His drive to live is solely linked to brief moments of pleasure-from-struggle and when that drops he explicitly wants to die so he can preserve the moment (and like. *looks at the end of 6.0* if he wanted to kill the WoL he would not be disappointed when they fall before the game allows it, nor would they have lived after given his will was strong enough to bring them back if they bite it). He wants struggle and lacks the ability to give enough of a shit to hold back if someone walks up and says they're going to go for his head.

Like, death is a side effect of what he's after, it's not the goal and he explicitly considers it a waste of life. Even fighting isn't the goal, the goal is to struggle, to need to put effort in. The WoL is just the only person to put him in that state as he currently is, hence his obsession.

#final fantasy #zenos yae galvus #zenos viator galvus #like there's plenty of readings i find irritating but ignorable bc it's stuff about the grey areas he lives in #but he's very consistent about... not valuing life in itself but considering needless death to be wasteful #and it's a trait the game takes you aside and tells you directly as part of the msq multiple times #there's zero implication the game comes out and says this #in several places including z's own dialogue #the end result is the same but it matters a lot for discussions of him as a character that the motive is to struggle #the end result is irrelevant to him #vs like. omega. omega's after the end result of ultimate victory #the process doesn't matter to it except as a way to remove flaws from itself #now his definition of needless could definitely use work and he is still a bastard #but getting the motive right means you stop being the people who ignore the game text bc you don't like him

Here's how my grandma and I try to live a low waste lifestyle in the city

First thing is we reuse everything. We have a portion of our shelves dedicated to holding plastic food containers we have washed and are waiting to be used to hold leftovers, dried foods, as seed starting pots, etc. We also save any and all jars to hold dried herbs and food products.

Actually reuse is a big thing for us. We shop at places that use paper bags, which I then cut up to use as scrap paper for grocery lists, etc and then compost after that. We also have a small container with rubber bands from products, bread ties, etc.

If you can afford the start up costs and have the space, preserving your own food is excellent. We have a really small garden that produces a lot of food every year. My favorites are dehydrating (using a dehydrator that is at least 30 years old from back when my grandpa was into making jerky), freezing, and canning.

Also, use every bit of food. Right now in the freezer I have bags of apple cores and peeling, pear cores and peeling, and peach peels along with bags of bones and veggie scraps for broths. The fruit scraps will go towards making big batches of jelly when canning season is over. I'll probably use the pulp leftover to dehydrate and powder to add to baked goods following a success with crabapple jelly pulp. I've also made spaghetti sauce out of tomato peels. Anything rotting or absolutely unusable gets tossed in the compost.

Reusables!! Obviously in today's world you can't avoid plastic but you can reduce how much you use. We use reusable produce bags that I made out of scrap Tulle, reusable grocery bags, water bottles, ziploc bags, etc.

If you have a yard or space, composting is a big one! My grandma says she never realized how much food we tossed until we started one. You don't even have to spend money on it! I know people who use totes they drilled holes into, just toss it In a hole in their garden, etc. The one I use is an old hose winder (one of those cube ones( that broke and my work was going to toss. All I did was cut out the hose winding part and paint it pretty and it's held up for 2 years and counting so far.

Hang dry clothes. In summertime we almost exclusively dry our clothes on a line or on a clothes drying rack I found at a yard sale.

Keep your heat or ac a few degrees higher or lower depending on the season. This helps save energy being used to heat or cool your house.

Wash clothes in cool or cold water. I've been doing this for years and haven't noticed a difference.

Repair. You don't have to be a sewing genius to quickly repair a small tear, especially if it's just for household wear. A great winter time hobby to pick up when gardening season is over.

Trade! This can be as simple as hosting a clothing swap all the way up until trading items u grew/made for items they did! I barter with my coworkers all the time, just talk to them! I never would have known my coworker kept bees if she didn't really like my jellies and proposed a trade. I also trade any of my soft produce I don't have time to do anything with to my coworker with rabbits in exchange for poop for the garden.

Try to be in season from local sources such as garden stands, or just a local grocery store. One of our local farms grew bell peppers and was selling then 2 for a dollar! So we stocked up and dehydratedand froze lots of peppers for winter stews

Blended pumpkin guts makes an excellent pumpkin puree, even if you're just adding little bits of it to your dog's food :)

You can freeze a lot of stuff! Leftover spaghetti sauce, pumpkin puree, etc can all be frozen in a muffin pan and then put in bags for future use!

Forage! I personally mostly forage for greens and a few mushrooms I am confident in my ability in but that still bulks up your food supply as well as medicine supply! I made a salve using bartered beeswax and spring purple dead nettle and summer plantain (and some tea tree EO) for cuts and scrapes and it works miracles! My coworkers love it as well as friends and family

We really try to live by the waste not, want not and use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without phrases. Just figure out what works best for the life you live! Be creative!

Really interesting finds!

On my walk to the bus stop today I came across some stuff that the neighbors had put to the side of the road. The metal shelf/rack is what really caught my eye before anything else did; if you can’t tell it’s a very dark green with leaves all over it.

The white stand was the second thing to catch sense I’ve been looking for a drying stand for clothes so the dryer doesn’t degrade the designs of my tshirts or wear out the elastic bands in my boxers. It might need some really light repairs like paint touch up but I’ll have to really stop back by and look. I literally did a drive by look as I was walking and only stopped for the few seconds it takes for my camera to focus the best it can on it.

The poor lady in the car… I think I scared her or made her nervous by taking a picture. I didn’t even notice she was there until we locked eyes 😅.

The 999 cast is very important to me and there’s so much good about them but I think one big thing they have is that they’re all smart and contribute to the story

#zero escape #999 #this is where the other ze casts really lack I think #like all the 999 characters are there for a reason they were hand picked by zero #and all of them were really smart and they all worked together to solve the mystery #in vlr we got characters who just willingly participated in the game for shits and giggles #even more so with ztd like they didnt even try to make the q team important #plus just like so many of the characters are wasted and pointless #quark contributed nothing. alice was needed only for a math problem. tenmyouji was just screwed over #clover is the one who really makes me mad cuz they did the aini thing where they erased her whole arc #and reduced her to a ditzy joke of a character #shes not fucking ditzy shes smart and her bond with junpei is literally why everyone survived 999! #without her your ass would be dead #makes me so mad 😤 #they only added her to vlr just to get people interested in the first place since she was popular #ztd is the same like none of the new characters introduced mean anything #and all the stuff they do with the old characters is just awful none of it is good #honestly 999 is too good of a game to be attracted to the other ze games #in my mind 999 ended and everyone lived happily ever after and idk quark can magically be there somehow cuz hes a good boy

Okay but I'm feeling deprived of certain subs now that I'm Tumblr exclusive. Can anyone give me blogs or tags to follow that are like r/simpleliving (that are NOT tradwives, something i appreciated about that sub was that it didn't seem like a right wing cestpit), r/zerowaste (followed the tag already), r/anticonsumption, and r/shoppingaddiction

#zero waste #simple living #reddit tumblr dual citizen. i used them for different purposes but now they gotta fuse
