Rethink baskets. I can’t take credit for this idea but I’ll do the whole “R” thing here as a sustainable blogger. “Cottage core” includes hanging baskets like these and I’ve been wanting some for years. I just fell in love with the concept of doing something with these and I finally found some at The…
Stock containers, soy milk, and some alternative milks, these mixed material containers: composite, these go in the trash. If you can find glass or plastic those are going to be recyclable but these cartons go in the trash can. If you’re unsure: milk cartons, the square ones, they also go in the trash can. They’re…

Let glass go. Don’t stockpile glass for reuse or collect, especially if you don’t or won’t actually reuse it. If you just keep moving your stash around it’s not helping you but it could help someone else. It makes me sad and frustrated to see “zero waste” or “sustainable” influencers pull out tubs, bins or…
The first time I saw a bone anchored hearing aid (BAHA) I thought it was a headband. I told the little girl I loved her headband (purple & pink!) and her mom told me it was a hearing aid. I had no idea! My son goes to a school for kids with speech, language and…
Pencil shavings go in the trash. The color on the outside is paint. Don’t compost them. #pencils#pencilsharpener#trash#paint#schoolsupplies#art#artsupplies
