The hoarding of the toilet paper rolls finally pai The hoarding of the toilet paper rolls finally paid off. ⁣🙌⁣ ⁣⁣ I feel like they could be used to make some cute ornaments too.⁣ ❄️⁣ ⁣ Lmk what DIY decorations you’ve been making this year!⁣ ⁣⁣ #holidaydecor #diychristmasdecor #reducereuserecycle #treetopper #ecofriendlytips
Did you know that food doesn’t break down proper Did you know that food doesn’t break down properly in landfills?⁣ ⁣ It’s something I wish I knew wayyyy earlier on in my sustainability journey. Food waste did not register as something I should be concerned about for a while because I thought it would just biodegrade in the landfill. 🤷‍♀️⁣ ⁣ Turns out though, it actually lacks the proper light and oxygen in the landfill to decompose in the right way. Instead it ends up releasing methane, a greenhouse gas even more potent than CO2. 😒⁣ ⁣ Once I learned that, I realized how much of an impact I could make by reducing my food waste, especially since in the US, food waste is estimated to be between 30-40 percent of the food supply (Can you imagine how much lower that would be if we could get municipal composting systems up and running in every city!?)⁣ ⁣ So I found a composting service in my area and started taking greater care to make sure I was using up the food in my fridge and only buying what I needed.⁣ ⁣ Make sure to follow along for more tips on how you can reduce your food waste!⁣ ⁣ #foodwaste #sustainabilityjourney #ecoliving #lowwasteliving #slowliving #noplanetb
Susty gifts for your outdoorsy friend 🌳⁣ ⁣ Susty gifts for your outdoorsy friend 🌳⁣ ⁣ 1️⃣ A coffee table book or anything else from @parksproject. I just especially love the coffee table book because it’s not only beautiful to look at, but also has some really great tips for hiking / exploring the national parks in a sustainable way, but no matter what you choose to purchase, part of the proceeds will go toward preserving our national parks.⁣ ⁣ 2️⃣ A beach towel from @nomadix: A portable, quick dry towel is a must for anyone who love the outdoors and these ones are made with certified post-consumer recycled plastic.⁣ ⁣ 3️⃣ Backpack cooler from @hydroflask (yes it’s expensive, so it’d have to be a very good friend, but it’s well worth the price). Great for taking to the beach on a picnic or short hike. They keep food super cold and are really durable so it’s a piece of gear they can keep for a long time.⁣ ⁣ 4️⃣ Portable campfire from @uncommongoods. It’s made from recycled materials and is super easy to set up. Much lower maintenance than an actual bonfire and they last for 3-5 hours.⁣ ⁣ 5️⃣ Socks with a purpose from @consciousstep: Everyone needs socks, so why not gift some that have a purpose. From planting trees to protecting the polar bears to saving dogs, there’s sure to be a sock that supports your friends’ particular passions.⁣ ⁣ Follow along for more sustainable gift guides and holiday tips. PS full gift guides are also available on my blog if you’d like to check them out 👀⁣ ⁣ #giftguide #ecofriendlyproducts #christmasgiftideas #sustainablegifts #outdoorsygirl #giftsforfriends

✨ Some things to consider before you buy new hol ✨ Some things to consider before you buy new holiday decor ✨⁣ ⁣ -Could I find secondhand decor?⁣ ⁣ -Could I ask family or friends if they have any decorations they’re not using anymore?⁣ ⁣ -Could I forage through my backyard to find some natural decor to use?⁣ ⁣ -Could I make my own decor with leftover cardboard, fabric, or other materials I have lying around?⁣ ⁣ -Could I make some compostable decor out of food I can find at my local grocery store?⁣ ⁣ -Would making DIY decor with my family be more fun than buying everything off the holiday shelf at Target?⁣ ⁣ Decorations are fun, but they don’t have to be brand new to be exciting and magical. 💫⁣ ⁣ How are you decorating sustainably this year? 🎄⁣ ⁣ #sustainablechristmas #holidaydecorating #christmasdecor #diychristmas #lowwastelifestyle
