A Little More Green: It’s a Journey: Juice
A little step, a little more forward, maybe a little backwards, but keeping the goal in mind. I did buy a single use juice bottle today, I did ingest. Microplastics, I did take it home to recycle. I am not strong all the time. It’s a process… #babysteps#inprogress#juice#microplastics#noglassbottle#plasticbottles
Homemade Strawberry Smoothie: Kid Approved
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: Balls & Lids
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

Drip out all oil before washing dishes
Drip as much oil out as possible into compost before washing. We leave the oil bowl for roasting in the compost collector until it’s as done as possible then use a paper product like a napkin (saving your napkins from restaurants is great for this) and then compost the napkin/tissue as well before washing. #oliveoil#oil#compost#roasting#kitchentips#zerowaste#sustainableliving#greenliving
Corn Holders for Picky Eaters
Corn holders help kids eat corn. I know it’s another thing to have, but if it helps picky eaters and new eaters, it’s worth it. These are common enough to fin secondhand and at antique mall, or check with family and friends who may not eat fresh corn on the cob anymore. #kids#cornonthecob#corn#pickyeaters#neweaters#secondhand#antiquemall#reuse
Compost Corn Husks, Silk and Cobs
Compost your corn husk and silk. HEB has a bin where you can do it in the store but I don’t know if they compost or what they do with it. If you can bring it home and shuck it yourself you can compost this plant matter. It can be composted in Austin curbside compost…
SodaStream Sparkling Water: Refills & Savings
My dad lives on sparkling water. He loves it, all the brands and most flavors. Five years ago we got him a SodaStream for Christmas so he could make his own. He can control the amount of bubbles and I was hoping to reduce the amount of glass bottles in the recycling and the shopping…
Replacement: Pyrex 233-PC 3qt Lid: Brownies
So it has been about 19 years and one of my plastic Pyrex lids finally had to move onto the next life. In this case it will be a demonstration item at my tabling as to what can happen to plastic as it ages. This is not the lid in this post, but it’s a…
