Julian at Plastno reached out to ask me to review his products. I’ve been asked to do this by other companies, but Julian was the first one to have a good answer and it was on his website, “Save thousands of bags from clogging up oceans and landfills.” As anyone who has seen pictures of…
I couldn’t get any takers on the 2 drawer new filing cabinet in my Buy Nothing Facebook group or the Austin Zero Waste group. “Brand new, the handles aren’t even installed, standard size tan 2 drawer filing cabinet with handles, hardware, lock and 2 new keys” That’s good right? I posted in my neighborhood’s own…
Recycled Reads drop-off. RR is part of the Austin Public Library and all proceeds from sales go back to the library so I love to donate here. This place is especially helpful for large donations. If I had the inclination and time I would put little handfuls and all the Little Free Library in my…
I’m finally okay to share this video. I went through my papers after my grandpa died since I’m pretty on top of everything else. I’ve been working on minimalism, simplicity, having a kid (they have so much stuff) and moderation for years. It is an ongoing process so don’t feel like you are behind. I…

We also had quite the family debate on if Cherry really should be a cherry or an apple and we decided to stick with the…
Wire Hangers/Dry Cleaners: Take your wire hangers back to the dry cleaner you got them from as soon as possible so as not to stockpile them. Most dry cleaners are full of hangers and seem to only want their brand. If you can’t find a local dry cleaner that won’t take them back, find recycling…
I’m combining two video posts into one post here to keep things together. I’ll include both videos for listening. Trash Receipt Paper. Most receipt paper is thermal paper, which is coated in chemicals and sometimes even BPA. So you’re going to want to throw that in the trash can, especially in Austin, Texas because that’s…
