#reduce waste

[thepastisalreadywritten]

Since its emergence as a symbol of Remembrance after the First World War, poppies have taken on various shapes and sizes.

From handmade silk and cotton poppies to wartime poppies, 2023 sees the biggest change in the poppy’s design for a generation.

Made entirely from paper, the new plastic-free poppy is available alongside stock of the existing poppy to reduce waste and can be recycled in ordinary paper recycling collections.

As we approach Remembrance Sunday, please wear a poppy to show the Armed Forces community you care and help us raise vital funds to support Serving personnel, veterans, and their families all year round.

this year im trying really hard to look after my things and not throw them out at the first sign of damage. these vans have been through hell and back but i love them. so i darned the holes.

doesnt seem like much but feels like this has opened so many doors in terms of reducing my waste

I signed a petition on Action Network telling Home Depot, Lowe's, and Walmart to abandon dirty ships. These companies ship their products on cargo ships that pollute the air we breathe with the world’s dirtiest fossil fuels.

Fossil-fueled ships traverse our oceans and emit harmful air and climate pollution into the atmosphere. Retailers are among the top maritime shipping polluters, they have a responsibility to their shoppers and to our climate future to clean up their act. Join me by signing Ship It Zero’s petition to urge Home Depot, Lowe's, and Walmart to abandon dirty, fossil-fueled ships and commit to zero-emission maritime shipping!

Thanks!

argh must wait until sunday for my new gerbils....

(i want them NOW! *cries*)

in the meantime, distracting myself by uploading some of my old completed projects....

this t-shirt was too tight under the arms, so i added gussets. first time doing it so i guessed on the shape. ended up very comfy and only a little noticable (shape wasnt quite right so the shirt didnt lay quite right). --good enough!

seamripped the sleeve seam and 2 inches down the side seam.

now pinning the gusset into the side seam (so that the side seam splays open into a v), and first side stitched (backstitch, to last):

both sides now stitched to side seam, now looks like this:

now sewing gusset to underarm sleeve seam:

1 side done, other side pinned; oops sleeve is so short that gusset is longer than the sleeve--have to tuck that bit under:

and finished!

Been trying reusable period underwear for the past few months. Thinx is garbage and leaked within a few hours. Period.co is great and I recommend highly.

Cooking take that I actually practice more often than not. Peeling vegetables is usually unnecessary food waste, and you rarely need a peeler. It doesn't work for things like winter squash and pineapple where the peel isn't food, you need a knife for those, and for carrots, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, just leave the peel on and give them a good scrub. Cucumber peel can cause stomach upset and many potato dishes are better sans peel, but for most soups, bakes and stir fries my peeler stays in the back of the drawer.

How to submerge something without wasting a lot of what you need it in.

- Put thing in plastic bag

- Put in cup

- fill cup (not the bag) with water to above thing

- fill bag until thing is covered

(I'm sorry if liquid/object density makes this not work for you. Beware chemical reactions! Stay safe!)

10 Effective Ways to Save the Planet and Restore Mother Nature

Shaina Tranquilino

November 17, 2023

In recent years, concerns about climate change and environmental degradation have reached an all-time high. As responsible citizens of this planet, it is our duty to take action and strive towards sustainable living practices. By making conscious choices in our everyday lives, we can collectively make a significant impact in preserving the Earth's natural resources for future generations. Here are ten effective ways that each one of us can contribute to saving the planet:

1. Reduce Energy Consumption: One of the most impactful steps we can take is to reduce our energy consumption. Opt for energy-efficient appliances, switch off lights when not in use, unplug electronics when fully charged, and consider using renewable energy sources like solar panels.

2. Conserve Water: Water scarcity is a growing concern worldwide. Be mindful of your water usage by fixing leaks promptly, collecting rainwater for gardening purposes, taking shorter showers, and opting for low-flow fixtures.

3. Embrace Sustainable Transportation: Reduce your carbon footprint by choosing eco-friendly modes of transportation whenever possible. Carpooling, biking or walking short distances instead of driving alone helps reduce emissions significantly.

4. Adopt a Plant-based Diet: The meat industry contributes heavily to greenhouse gas emissions and deforestation. Transitioning to a plant-based diet or reducing meat consumption can help combat climate change while promoting healthier eating habits.

5. Support Local and Organic Products: Choose locally sourced products that require less transportation and support local economies. Additionally, opt for organic produce as they minimize exposure to harmful pesticides while promoting sustainable farming practices.

6. Recycle and Reuse: Create a habit of recycling materials such as paper, plastic, glass, and metal whenever possible. Also, embrace creative reuse by repurposing items rather than throwing them away.

7. Minimize Single-use Plastics: Plastic pollution has become a global crisis endangering marine life and ecosystems. Avoid single-use plastics by opting for reusable alternatives.

8. Plant Trees: Trees play a vital role in absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen, making afforestation crucial for the planet's well-being. Participate in tree-planting initiatives or support organizations that focus on reforestation efforts.

9. Practice Responsible Tourism: When travelling, choose eco-friendly accommodations, reduce waste generation by carrying reusable bottles and shopping bags, respect local wildlife and ecosystems, and contribute to local conservation efforts.

10. Educate Others: Spread awareness about environmental issues within your community. Engage others through discussions, workshops, or social media campaigns to inspire positive change collectively.

Saving the planet requires collective action from individuals across the globe. By adopting these ten effective ways in our daily lives – reducing energy consumption, conserving water, embracing sustainable transportation, adopting a plant-based diet, supporting local and organic products, recycling and reusing materials, minimizing single-use plastics, planting trees, practicing responsible tourism, and educating others – we can actively contribute towards preserving the Earth's precious resources and restoring its natural balance. Remember: Every small step counts; let us join hands to ensure a greener future for generations to come!
