Water for wildlife, especially pollinators! Reuse wine corks or bottle lids for floats in your birdbath and a birdbath can be a bowl or plate on some kind of stand, it doesn’t have to be officially a birdbath. Rethink items. This way bugs can float and not slip/ drown. Thinkery, the Austin children’s museum, DOES…
Plastic Coolers can’t recycled so please take care of them, donate or share them if you aren’t using them, and keep them maintained and in use. NOTE on the Featured Image: The exterior crack does not affect the cooling aspect of the example cooler so we still use this cooler. TIP: I do not recommend…
Buy Nothing Give – silicone pot holders: success! My mother cleaned out her drawers and gave them to me. I had them for several months and I just don’t use this type. I prefer my cloth square potholders so I posted these and I had an immediate response so these definitely moved well. Buy Nothing…
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.…

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
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

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
