ideas for reducing my waste in 2025

using what I have!

reusable bags, reusable produce bags, using plastic free packaging when possible, reusing items for art or in my home, being selective when purchasing new items (will I actually use it?), eco bricking!, and composting.

~an introduction to ecobricking~

hello fellow solarpunks! i've been interested in ecobricking for a while but i recently invested some time into researching them so here's a guide! it's a responsible way to sequester plastic from the environment, but making them is slightly more involved than just stuffing plastic in a bottle, if you want to use them for construction or weight-bearing projects like furniture. I'm mainly using information from GoBrik, which had the most comprehensive guide, but feel free to comment or rb with supplemental information.

FAQ:

Isn't it better to recycle plastic rather than ecobricking?

There are many plastics, such as food wrappers or packaging, that can't be recycled and end up degrading rapidly. Ecobricking sequesters those kinds of plastics from the ecosystem and also reduces the surface area exposed, which limits plastic degredation over time.

How do you use ecobricks?

You can use ecobricks in many applications, from furniture to structures. The long-term environmental impact of using ecobricks is still speculated on, but responsible upkeep mitigates their potential environmental impacts, which are still far less than the impact that plastic would have were it not sequestered.

How To Ecobrick:

Find a plastic bottle. The bottles that you use for ecobricking should all be the same variety, which will help in any building projects that you may choose to use them for.

Find some plastic! Make sure to wash and dry your plastic, as any food residue or moisture could make your brick moldy or structurally unsound. You can cut up larger pieces of plastic, like food packaging (think bags of shredded cheese or frozen berries, or the plastic bags inside cereal boxes)-- just pack em in. If you want to be fancy, GoBrik recommends making the bottom layer of your ecobrick all one color, for aesthetic purposes later on. But it's really up to you. Please avoid putting biodegradable material, such as cardboard or paper, as well as glass or metal, in your ecobrick-- it'll affect the density and preferred composition. Plus, you can recycle those!

Calculate the density! This is the only part that involves math, I swear. You want to aim for a density of about 0.37 grams per milliliter; it shouldn't be under 0.33 g/ml or it'll be structurally unsound. It's also good to aim for a density less than 0.7 g/ml, or your bricks might be too heavy to move comfortably. The equation is just the weight in grams divided by the milliliters of the container you're using, so, for example, if you used a bottle than was 1250 ml, you would be aiming for about 475-500 g of plastic (including the bottle). (a kitchen scale is great for weighing, and you can thrift them pretty easily) Of course, if you're ecobricking to sequester plastic and not necessarily to build, you don't need to worry too much about the density, but if you wanted to donate your ecobricks to a project in the future I would encourage you to try to keep track of density.

Cap your bottle tightly, leaving 1-2 cm at the top of the bottle (basically, you don't want the cap to bulge, because it will make the cap degrade rapidly and crack). Label them with the density of the bottle (if it's relevant) and the date (so you know how long the brick has been around so you can maintain it if needed)-- nail polish works the best. Keep them out of the elements (especially the sun) and off the ground until you plan to use them.

There are tons of ways to use ecobricks! I'll link a few ideas below.

I will say, as a long time Ecosia user (I’ve been using it for a while now, more than a year) sometimes you really do just hit a wall and have to break out the big guns and use google (ecosia just straight up doesn’t understand some things for whatever reason)

If that happens i definitely recommend using udm=14

I also recommend getting into ecobricking! I personally found it a lot of fun!

Or just start a club and make new friends, honestly that helps so much

25 ways to be a little more punk in 2025

Cut fast fashion - buy used, learn to mend and/or make your own clothes, buy fewer clothes less often so you can save up for ethically made quality

Cancel subscriptions - relearn how to pirate media, spend $10/month buying a digital album from a small artist instead of on Spotify, stream on free services since the paid ones make you watch ads anyway

Green your community - there's lots of ways to do this, like seedbombing or joining a community garden or organizing neighborhood trash pickups

Be kind - stop to give directions, check on stopped cars, smile at kids, let people cut you in line, offer to get stuff off the high shelf, hold the door, ask people if they're okay

Intervene - learn bystander intervention techniques and be prepared to use them, even if it feels awkward

Get closer to your food - grow it yourself, can and preserve it, buy from a farmstand, learn where it's from, go fishing, make it from scratch, learn a new ingredient

Use opensource software - try LibreOffice, try Reaper, learn Linux, use a free Photoshop clone. The next time an app tries to force you to pay, look to see if there's an opensource alternative

Make less trash - start a compost, be mindful of packaging, find another use for that plastic, make it a challenge for yourself!

Get involved in local politics - show up at meetings for city council, the zoning commission, the park district, school boards; fight the NIMBYs that always show up and force them to focus on the things impacting the most vulnerable folks in your community

DIY > fashion - shake off the obsession with pristine presentation that you've been taught! Cut your own hair, use homemade cosmetics, exchange mani/pedis with friends, make your own jewelry, duct tape those broken headphones!

Ditch Google - Chromium browsers (which is almost all of them) are now bloated spyware, and Google search sucks now, so why not finally make the jump to Firefox and another search like DuckDuckGo? Or put the Wikipedia app on your phone and look things up there?

Forage - learn about local edible plants and how to safely and sustainably harvest them or go find fruit trees and such accessible to the public.

Volunteer - every week tutoring at the library or once a month at the humane society or twice a year serving food at the soup kitchen, you can find something that matches your availability

Help your neighbors - which means you have to meet them first and find out how you can help (including your unhoused neighbors), like elderly or disabled folks that might need help with yardwork or who that escape artist dog belongs to or whether the police have been hassling people sleeping rough

Fix stuff - the next time something breaks (a small appliance, an electronic, a piece of furniture, etc.), see if you can figure out what's wrong with it, if there are tutorials on fixing it, or if you can order a replacement part from the manufacturer instead of trashing the whole thing

Mix up your transit - find out what's walkable, try biking instead of driving, try public transit and complain to the city if it sucks, take a train instead of a plane, start a carpool at work

Engage in the arts - go see a local play, check out an art gallery or a small museum, buy art from the farmer's market

Go to the library - to check out a book or a movie or a CD, to use the computers or the printer, to find out if they have other weird rentals like a seed library or luggage, to use meeting space, to file your taxes, to take a class, to ask question

Listen local - see what's happening at local music venues or other events where local musicians will be performing, stop for buskers, find a favorite artist, and support them

Buy local - it's less convenient than online shopping or going to a big box store that sells everything, but try buying what you can from small local shops in your area

Become unmarketable - there are a lot of ways you can disrupt your online marketing surveillance, including buying less, using decoy emails, deleting or removing permissions from apps that spy on you, checking your privacy settings, not clicking advertising links, and...

Use cash - go to the bank and take out cash instead of using your credit card or e-payment for everything! It's better on small businesses and it's untraceable

Give what you can - as capitalism churns on, normal shmucks have less and less, so think about what you can give (time, money, skills, space, stuff) and how it will make the most impact

Talk about wages - with your coworkers, with your friends, while unionizing! Stop thinking about wages as a measure of your worth and talk about whether or not the bosses are paying fairly for the labor they receive

Think about wealthflow - there are a thousand little mechanisms that corporations and billionaires use to capture wealth from the lower class: fees for transactions, interest, vendor platforms, subscriptions, and more. Start thinking about where your money goes, how and where it's getting captured and removed from our class, and where you have the ability to cut off the flow and pass cash directly to your fellow working class people

Building Sustainable Futures with RMS EcoBricks

In the ever-evolving world of construction, sustainability is no longer just a buzzword—it’s a necessity. As the demand for eco-friendly and cost-effective building materials rises, companies that innovate with sustainability in mind are becoming industry leaders. One such pioneer is RMS EcoBricks, a brand committed to transforming the way we build—without compromising strength, durability, or environmental responsibility.

Based in India, RMS EcoBricks has emerged as a trusted name for environmentally friendly construction materials. Whether you're working on a large commercial project or a residential space, RMS has solutions that combine quality, innovation, and a green approach.

The Power of Eco-Friendly Construction

For years, the construction industry has relied heavily on traditional materials like clay bricks, cement, and concrete. While these materials are effective, their production methods often harm the environment. Excessive clay mining and emissions from conventional brick kilns have contributed significantly to land degradation and air pollution.

That’s where RMS EcoBricks comes in, offering an environmentally conscious alternative. Their modern products—made with precision and innovation—provide strong performance without the ecological damage of older methods.

Innovation from a Leading Fly Ash Bricks Factory

One of RMS EcoBricks' most innovative contributions to the market is its fly ash bricks factory. These bricks are not only sustainable but also technically superior to conventional clay bricks.

Fly ash is a byproduct of thermal power plants and is often discarded as waste. RMS has turned this waste into a resource by using fly ash as a key component in their bricks. These bricks are manufactured under controlled conditions in modern facilities, resulting in products that are uniform in size, highly durable, and resistant to water and pests.

Unlike traditional clay bricks that consume fertile soil and require high energy for firing, fly ash bricks are cured through steam, making the process much more eco-friendly. This not only helps in reducing carbon footprints but also makes use of industrial waste in a positive and responsible way.

If you're a contractor or a developer looking for reliable and sustainable brick solutions, working with a reputed fly ash bricks factory like RMS EcoBricks is a smart move.

Aesthetic Meets Function: The Beauty of Paver Tiles

While bricks form the skeleton of a structure, the surface elements also matter—especially for outdoor areas. RMS EcoBricks has expanded its offerings to include high-quality paver tiles, designed to enhance the look and feel of any space.

Paver tiles are used widely for pathways, gardens, parking areas, sidewalks, and driveways. Their interlocking designs not only add beauty but also improve functionality by offering better drainage and durability. Whether you're designing a commercial landscape or beautifying a residential patio, these tiles are a great addition.

RMS EcoBricks offers a wide variety of colors, patterns, and textures in paver tiles, giving builders and homeowners the freedom to create spaces that are both attractive and enduring. Plus, these tiles are manufactured with sustainability in mind, using recycled materials wherever possible.

The best part? They require minimal maintenance and are highly resistant to wear and tear—even in areas with heavy footfall or vehicle traffic.

Quality You Can Count On

One thing that sets RMS EcoBricks apart is their unwavering focus on quality. Each product goes through rigorous quality control measures to ensure consistency, strength, and longevity.

Whether it’s fly ash bricks or paver tiles, RMS doesn’t cut corners. The team constantly researches and tests new materials and production techniques to stay ahead of industry standards. This commitment to excellence ensures that customers receive top-tier construction materials that stand the test of time.

If you're someone who believes that every brick laid is a long-term investment, RMS EcoBricks should be on your radar.

Tailored Solutions for Every Project

What’s impressive about RMS EcoBricks is their ability to customize solutions based on the needs of different projects. Whether you're working on an urban housing project, an industrial warehouse, a landscape design, or a private villa, RMS offers products that can be tailored to your design, scale, and performance requirements.

They collaborate closely with architects, engineers, builders, and real estate developers to ensure that the materials align with the vision and structural needs of the project.

From modern aesthetics to heavy-duty strength, their offerings are designed to match different environments and expectations.

Eco-Consciousness at the Core

Beyond the technical features and product lines, what really defines RMS EcoBricks is their deep commitment to environmental responsibility.

Recycling Industrial Waste: By using fly ash and other recycled materials, they significantly reduce landfill waste and prevent environmental contamination.

Water and Energy Efficiency: Their manufacturing processes consume less water and energy than traditional brick kilns, helping conserve resources.

Reduced Carbon Emissions: Their non-fired bricks and tiles emit fewer greenhouse gases, contributing to cleaner air and a healthier planet.

This eco-conscious approach doesn’t just benefit the planet—it also adds value to projects. Green building practices are increasingly appreciated by clients, stakeholders, and even government regulators, often leading to certifications and incentives.

Affordable Without Compromise

Sustainability often comes with a price tag—but not with RMS EcoBricks. One of the major advantages of their solutions is that they offer premium quality at highly competitive rates. Thanks to efficient manufacturing processes and scalable production, they’re able to keep costs down without compromising quality.

This makes eco-friendly construction accessible for a wide range of budgets—from large developers to small contractors and individual homeowners.

So, if you’ve been hesitant about switching to sustainable materials because of cost concerns, RMS EcoBricks is proof that you don’t have to choose between quality and affordability.

Customer-Centric Approach

RMS EcoBricks believes in long-term relationships over one-time transactions. Their customer service is built on transparency, timely delivery, and reliable after-sales support. Whether you need guidance on product selection or help with logistics, their team is always ready to assist.

Many clients have praised them for their honesty, professionalism, and willingness to go the extra mile.

In the construction world, these are rare qualities—and they make a huge difference.

Final Thoughts: Choose RMS for a Greener, Stronger Tomorrow

If you're in the market for high-performance, sustainable building materials, RMS EcoBricks is the name to trust. With advanced solutions like fly ash bricks, aesthetically pleasing paver tiles, and a commitment to eco-conscious manufacturing, they are paving the way—quite literally—for a better construction future.

Whether you're an architect, a real estate developer, or simply someone building your dream home, you’ll find in RMS a partner that aligns with both your structural and ethical values.
