20190524 Started A Thing
This past year or year and a half ish
I mean, who’s counting?
I have been
doing my best to
reduce or eliminate
the amount of plastic that enters this house
bring a vessel if I KNOW I am going to a tea shop
and ask them if they would please use my cup/bottle/vessel instead
bring containers IF I KNOW I am eating out
because I usually won’t finish everything
and of course
giving my stuff or selling it to whoever thinks they are cool
because stuff is better somewhere where someone will appreciate it
rather than it sit or hang in my closet being hopeful of being worn
and it never happens
I had a few other posts in my other blog
BUT
I have decided
I should make a separate page
and also ensure my material is mine
ie buy a domain.
lol
(yay google domains and squarespace btw!)
This blog will be my
continuing journey
towards a more
zero-ish waste lifestyle.
I still buy things.
Outside of groceries and food
and the occasional KPOP/Hip Hop/Miyavi concert
I missed BabyMetal- I KNOW #InfiniteSadness
(which is honestly surprising to most.)
But I try to reframe a few times
wait
and also think about its extended life
because
let’s face it
we usually buy stuff for specific occasions
rain, weddings, work clothes.
also,
where will all the packaging go?
I feel conflicted when I buy kit kats.
because of the packaging.
But We will go on and on
AND ON
about
success stories
fails
feeling conflicted
finding happy mediums
living with seniors while trying to be zero waste
flexitarian grocery spends
and more
in future episodes!
thanks for joining me for this adventure!
see ya next time ;)
I have a lot of interests
but to make sure I don’t get off track
this page will be about the zero waste journey
PPS I still buy things
I just try to refuse more, reduce, and buy less often.
When I make a purchase I reframe it, let the items hang out in the ‘cart’ for a while, and think about its possible after life (can it bio degrade, can we re/up cycle or sell it?)
I was definitely a huge consumer.
I am trying to change.
One day at a time.
Hang out for some fun stories, ey!
