Wrapping gifts in cloth: Did you know that “[If] every American family wrapped just 3 presents in re-used materials, it would save enough paper to cover 45,000 football fields.” It’s what some call low-hanging fruit for waste reduction! Five-pane scroll. Sources and tutorial at end. Eliminating waste will reduce methane emissions from landfills. Methane is a potent gas with high global warming potential (GWP). #GreenHacks #MitigateWaste #MitigateAnthropogenicClimateChange #ActOnClimate (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDNLz54HFHm/?igshid=4xpzjwu16bc5

Repurposing: Working with dough? Use an old spice shaker to flour your working surface. Divert from landfill (at least temporarily). #GreenHacks #MitigateWaste #AnthropogenicClimateChange https://www.instagram.com/p/CAll47Wn7FH/?igshid=10olc70scsncu

Implementing “zero waste”: Remember the glass jar of “zero waste” hair conditioner from earlier? I transitioned its contents to an existing plastic dispenser for easier use. Let’s see how long this sourcing-transfer process keeps up - looking to divest from plastic for at least one item for #plasticfreejuly. @plasticfreejuly #GreenHacks #zerowaste #zeroishwaste #MitigateWaste #MitigateAnthropogenicClimateChange (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CComxVHHyB6/?igshid=1a48owg9fe91m

More micro-activity: glad to use some reusable fabric gift wrap from a fantastic mother-daughter duo small business for Mother’s Day! Furoshiki is a neat way to divert paper gift wrap waste from landfills and also start some conversations around waste. Because one gift definitely isn’t saving the planet, but the conversations on big policy ideas and continued implementation actions can. #GreenHacks #MitigateWaste #AnthropogenicClimateChange (at Los Angeles, California)

Micro activity - urban gardening: May 20 on the left, May 27 on the right. Neat little bok choy growth. May this micro activity be paired with strong demands for climate- and equity-centered structural changes. #GreenHacks #UrbanGardening #MitigateWaste #AnthropogenicClimateChange (at Los Angeles, California)

Mission, Values, and Data (emphasis on data): I’m taking a step back to reaffirm some key drivers regarding why GreenHacks exists in the first place given today’s current state online and offline. Truth, justice, and the not-always American way. You can see the Mission, Values, and Data page here: https://www.greenhacks.org/missionvaluesdata It might change occasionally to reflect updates. I will be better about providing sources in digestible formats. #greenhacks #mitigatewaste #actonclimate #mitigateanthropogenicclimatechange #combatmisinformation (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCrEMRCHqxp/?igshid=12317ddiba1t6
