My Yogurt Tub Trash And Compost Cans
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…
Free Goggles: Summer Supplies Clean Out
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 Book Haul 03-18-25
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…
Austin Creative Reuse 03-18-25

Borrowing and Return the Green/Beads/Swag
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…

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 Donations, Especially Shoes
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…

Most Party City’s are Closing – 100th Day
I was in charge of our class’ pinata for the 100th Day of School. Most of the Party City’s are going out of business and we have one near our house, which is where I actually like to get things for school so that will be sad. While getting the pinata and contents, I saw…
