These weathered, broken plastic remnants are found on the beach near Maui Harbor, not even that remote from civilization. PLASTIC OCEAN is real and still growing. These broken down little plastic pieces become food for marine species. There are evidence of feeding on most of them. The sights are devastating. 😔😔😔 #plasticocean #thereisnoaway #thewaywewaste #thewaywetrash #plasticage #caremorewasteless #throwawayculture (at Kahului, Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuuExa6ngml/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fn3bhat2jdzd

And then there were #buckets.... I know it may seem completely insane for an #agroforestryfarm to start their first ever #plantingseason on #plantingpots let alone plastic ones. However, we have debated back and forth and after much consideration, we thought our most viable option for this year were the #freebuckets we were able to #recycle from our own #superfoods #plantincalifornia (huge thank you to @vitaforte_inc for them) and with the absolute #invasiveplague we have of #groundsquirrels (our property truly is overrun with thousands of them), and all of other considerations like #predators #quantityofcompost we have turned into #precioussupersoil, #weather etc etc, we have decided to choose this option for now. Our best friends came to our rescue with extra hands, and @gothooves lined them up to perfect #ocdstandards measuring in between them milimetrically. #lovethatgal thank you to our true family #framily who came to our aid with magical loving hands. And if you’re asking yourself if this is ok for a sustainable farm to start of as, I reply to you with another question: what do you think is better for the planet? If we toss all this plastic “out” (remember, #thereisnoaway) and buy brand new nettings and cloths to surround it with, or if we reuse smtg that was being #trashed to produce something healthy for the Planet? #justasking #ididntwanttouseplasticeither believe me, but #reason finally spoke louder than #pseudomarketing #herewego #kickingoff #reuse #recycle #upcyclefarm PS- Have anything around you think we can use? Please feel free to send it our way. We are on an #upcyclingmission and would love to have you on board. #recyle #reuse #giveadamn (at Carmel Valley, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/COG1Qz4sSSG/?igshid=bsrm0nm41ody

This is so sad. Don’t forget that there is no “away” when throwing something out or getting rid of something. Everything winds up somewhere else. #eatplaylivewell #eatplaylivewelleveryday #thereisnoaway #keepourplanetclean https://www.instagram.com/p/ByXCTlfH6KE/?igshid=1dh4u8yik4hs7

Australia is on 🔥and the scale is unimaginable. It might be a good time for Australia to stop mining and exporting coal to China. The extraction, sale and subsequent burning of Australian coal in China is fueling the very fires they are trying to put out. #thereisnoaway #wearetheasteroid #australiafires (at Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B68G37ol42n/?igshid=1sazr6emtrr5o

Last week, I went on a public tour of Hartland landfill, which services the Greater Victoria area. I was surprised to learn that, despite extensive recycling programs and citywide compost pickup, Hartland still receives 480 tons of garbage every DAY. That’s 68+ truckloads. See where the tree line starts towards the top of the screen? That’s how high the trash will be piled up by 2048, when the landfill is projected to reach capacity. Talk about scary. In the spirit of Halloween, here are some other scary facts to consider: - 1/3 of all landfill waste is packaging material. - When your kitchen scraps & food waste go to the landfill, they produce methane and contribute to global warming. - Americans produces more trash per person than any other country in the world (although Canadians apparently waste more food & water). - Global solid waste is expected to triple to 11 MILLION tons per DAY by the end of the century. #thereisnoaway #trashisfortossers #reducereuserecycle #zerowaste #fightfoodwaste #leaveitontheshelf #plasticfree #trashtalk #landfill #globalwarming #victoriabc #zerowastevictoria #zerowastecanada #happyhalloween🎃 (at Capital Hartland Landfill) https://www.instagram.com/p/BplIrcwhHDb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=yqflylsh7mbu

The Dirty Mind of Disposability

Part I - “Corner of Durability”

Most of us are familiar with the slogan “think global, act local,” and we do a good job keeping this as a guiding principle. At Serendripity Spot we act hyper-locally, starting with ourselves and giving space for things to ripple forth. It may go no further than our little corner, and in this peculiar and frenzied world, that is enough.   

At the center of all our activities is the notion of durability, which we think is a direct antidote to disposability. We try to be enduring in relation to people and materials and we want things to be lasting. We believe in making an investment and earning confidence and our keep. We avoid things that are unhealthy, cheap, and poorly made. And, we build and create within the local hub and economy, and do our best to sidestep big brands and low-cost, low-quality goods.

We talk to people and make a point to remember names and to make connections with them about where they live, what motivates them, and what they like to drink or eat. From these friendships, trust blossoms and we find ways to further engage. We want to reliably be here for others who want a comfortable space for creativity, conversation, or just a place to “sip and stay.”

Wethinks it is not too much for one little corner of community to commit to being a model of durability. We believe that “there is no away” and that building a virtuous upcycle is better than a vicious downward spiral. In order to do this, we need friends and neighbors to participate, and they are. Right-size is everything. It is okay to establish limits (grab-and-go is hard to do here), welcome feedback, and be willing to improve.

And so it is that this corner is becoming more sustainable. Together we are not creating excess. Rather we are contributing to resiliency and reusability by getting to know one another and becoming a small section of consumer culture that refills, revisits, and revitalizes together.
