🧶🧤🧦🧣Hey knitters and crocheters! Check this out!💚 I love this idea because if you want to be creative, but you can’t use everything you make and you aren’t sure who can use what you make, this gives you a goal and a place to support.🧶Wool-Aid campaigns are primarily item-based rather than geared to a specific…
Berry baskets can be recycled. Trash the pad. Rinse and dry the container. I get this question fairly often so I hope this helps and please share this information. Berry boxes tend to be #1 clear plastic so most recycling providers/contractors will accept that color and number. Remember the chasing arrow () doesn’t mean recyclable.…
Encyclopedias re-homed! @buynothingproject saves the day again! I’m helping a neighbor to downsize their home and declutter and one of the things they needed to rehome was a 1976 set of Encyclopedias. Now as far as my neighbor, her friend the original owner of the books, and myself new, people just used these to cut…
Lotion from home in a glass bottle is going to be greener than a travel tube, any tube, or a pump. I found a small glass jar at the Guadalupe @wheatsville location. There are plastic jars at @naturalgrocers if you want something smaller, and lighter, but they are plastic. My grocery store doesn’t have anything…

Strawberry Smoothie experience. This is what works for my son and we can control the ingredients and materials of his smoothie. We also can choose greener products that are recyclable. We are using a Miir cup here, but reusable silicone food pouches also work great with this smoothie recipe. Can you tell we like Costco?!…
Aluminum Foil Recycling: a lot of lids, particularly for dairy, are aluminum foil and once clean and dry, can be balled up and recycled in single stream once your ball reaches 2 inches. Check that your recycling provider allows for this because they don’t all do that yet. #aluminum#aluminumfoil#recycle#smoothies#atxrecycles#yogurtStonyfield@icelandicprovisions#sourcreamDaisy Brand#yogurtdrinksActivia#zerowaste#greenliving#kids
