We had three bags, two garbage and one grocery, to drop off at the Austin Wildlife Rescue Center on this day. This is a catch up post so it’s out of date order. It is important to share it because there is so much material out there that can be reused and appreciated, we just…
Thank you Mueller neighborhood! Minecraft Fox is just along for the ride. #zwbl#zerowasteblockleader#zerowaste#green#sustsinability#recyclemore#atxrecycles#neighborshelpingneighbors
Reuse small containers for trash & compost in the bathroom, office, etc. Research has shown that the larger the trashcan, the more likely you are to fill it up, so in reverse try smaller or no containers. We have 13 gallon kitchen bins and tiny bathroom bins. No other rooms have bins; you have to…
Don’t forget to go through your summer supplies and re-home what doesn’t fit anymore. We have toddler goggles that need a new home that we in fact reused from those left and forgotten at the neighborhood pool. My family has created a rule for our neighborhood: if it’s left in the same spot for three…
Library Haul today! Food is always interesting in our house: how to reduce waste, eat healthier, food as fuel, etc. Our neighborhood hosts a big Eid event so I’m working on learning and explaining more about it, especially to my 7 year old. He’s also on spring break so he’s doing a lot of building…
I found a seam ripper! Austin Creative Reuse had a seam ripper! I broke mine trying to remove handles from luggage. They also had all three colors of thread I wanted for mending. I walked around and looked at everything for ideas for Easter basket egg filler and basket filler. I will use the ribbon…
Sharing is caring! I don’t purchase items for my videos or posts. It either comes into my spheres naturally or I will ask my neighbors or my Buy Nothing group to get something that I’m getting questions about or dealing with. I have gotten rid of a lot of things over the years and so…
It’s St. Patrick’s Day today. Make sure to reuse your green! Reuse green that you already have for St. Patrick’s Day, don’t buy new. And stay away from shamrocks, they tend to be a single-use/single holiday symbol. If you want to buy/borrow/find green, find plain green that is more general use. Having general green that…
Pair your donations. Make sure to tie shoelaces together on shoes, or rubber band shoes together. For socks, roll them in each other. Bag and label other sets of items. If I took a tag off and I know what the size was, I like to permanent marker the size in the neck or waistband…
