https://detrashthemillennials.wordpress.com/2015/09/07/the-beauty-of-zero-waste
The Beauty of Zero Waste. September 7, 2015. September 7, 2015. As acknowledged by one of today’s most up and coming Zero Waste spokespeople, Bea Johnson, many have this misconception that zero waste means more mess, complication, spending, and stress in a person’s life. Personally, I think my jar of water is prettier than bottled water…. I was able to order a sandwich at a Mediterranean restaurant. They still put tinfoil. Compliments at the store, the jar makes the food look a LOT prettier. It’s s...

Easy Bathroom Swap #4 – Detrash_the_Millennials
https://detrashthemillennials.wordpress.com/2015/10/14/easy-bathroom-swap-4
Easy Bathroom Swap #4. October 14, 2015. One thing many of us zero wasters will have to give up one day or another is store-bought deodorant. They either come in aerosol containers, which are terrible for the environment, or some other plastic that’s difficult to recycle. Conventional deodorant has also been linked to several severe health problems. Including early puberty and breast cancer. So what can you do, lean into the stereotype and become a smelly hippy? 1/4 cup of coconut oil. Mix all the ingred...

No Need For A Dryer: Carbon Reduction Tip #1. September 10, 2015. September 11, 2015. Although it seems illogical, a lot of the new technology we use for household chores, such as dishwashers and washing machines, are actually a lot more environmentally friendly than doing those things by hand. With new demands for more efficient appliances, companies have been able to make products that use significantly less water and energy, which is great! Except for one . . . According to an article by The Guardian.

Use It Up – Detrash_the_Millennials
https://detrashthemillennials.wordpress.com/2015/09/26/use-it-up
September 26, 2015. September 26, 2015. Anyways, last week I noticed that our herbs were about to go to waste. There were two bunches of dill and parsley as well as some kale sitting in the fridge waiting to go bad. So instead of throwing them in the compost, I decided to make my own pesto. While it didn’t taste like your typical pesto, it was delicious and added a little extra nutrition to my family’s meals for the week. 1/4 cup of nuts(traditionally one would use pine nuts, but I used walnuts and.

Zero Waste Setback – Detrash_the_Millennials
https://detrashthemillennials.wordpress.com/2015/10/05/zero-waste-setback/comment-page-1
October 5, 2015. So today I decided I would buy lunch. At my high school, they let upperclassmen leave the building, so I went out to a pizza place in hopes of getting a panini. It was mobbed with students. I came prepared, with a container, knowing exactly what I was going to order. I went up to the counter, and requested the cashier put my panini in my container and that I didn’t need a bag or anything to go along with it, which he agreed to. Easy Bathroom Swap #4. October 8, 2015 at 1:03 pm. I would j...

Markterfolge | Weniger Abfall
https://wenigerabfall.wordpress.com/2015/05/08/markterfolge
Mein Weg zu weniger Verpackungsmüll. Der Markt, der Samstags bei uns stattfindet, ist ein Bauernmarkt. Dort dürfen nur Erzeuger verkaufen, man ist also sicher vor Ständen, die die Ware vom Großmarkt teuer weiter verkaufen. Die Auswahl ist natürlich kleiner, aber es gibt eigentlich alles, was man so braucht. Es gibt:. 2x Gemüsebauern, die auch Brot verkaufen aus ihren Hofläden. Käsestand (mit Käse von Wasserbüffeln! Imker (Honig aus der Region), der Honig im Pfandglas verkauft. Neuere Beiträge →. Herzlich...

Mikroplastik | Weniger Abfall
https://wenigerabfall.wordpress.com/2014/07/04/mikroplastik
Mein Weg zu weniger Verpackungsmüll. Heute fiel mir dann auf, das ich gar nicht weiß ob z.B. die Scheuerpartikel in der Viss Scheuermilch auch Mikroplastik sind oder ob sie viellecht natürlichen Urspurngs sind. Da werde ich mal recherchieren. Ich habe sie jedenfalls sicherheitshalber entsorgt – waren ohnehin fast leer. Nun habe ich bei Rossmann nachgefragt und folgende Antwort erhalten:. Die Tabs sind gemäß der Ecolabel Kriterien hergestellt. Deshalb haben die angewendeten Inhaltsstoffe eine geringer...
