Replying to @m 🌱♻️ Q&A Time: Ditching paper towels? Here are some FAQs answered! 🌿💧⁣ ⁣ 🔍 Q: Why give up paper towels?⁣ 💡 A: Cutting down on paper towel use reduces waste, saves trees, and minimizes environmental impact. Plus, it's budget-friendly! 💰⁣ ⁣ 🌍 Q: What do I use instead?⁣ 💡 A: Opt for reusable options like cloth towels, dishcloths, or bamboo towels. They're washable and eco-friendly! And for those of you asking, yes, I know this is the norm in so many countries and cultures. I’m not claiming to have invented this swap, just trying to promote it in a society obsessed with single-use! 🌱🧻⁣ ⁣ 💧 Q: But aren't the cloths less convenient?⁣ 💡 A: With a little planning, reusable alternatives are just as convenient and effective. Plus, they're softer on your wallet in the long run. 💪⁣ ⁣ 🔄 Q: How do I wash them?⁣ 💡 A: Simply toss them in the laundry with your regular wash. Easy! I never find they take up too much space, as the cloths are all very small. I use natural cleaners and detergents, so nothing to worry about there. If it bothers you to wash them alongside clothing, throw them in with a towel load. 🔄🧼⁣ ⁣ 🌟 Q: Any tips for making the switch easier?⁣ 💡 A: Start small! Replace paper towels in one area of your home first, then gradually expand. Progress over perfection. You can always keep some paper towels on hand for really gross messes or days when you simply do not have the bandwidth. You got this! 💚⁣ ⁣ Any more questions??? Drop them below!

Reducing food waste by transforming surplus veggies into delicious, gut-friendly treats 🌿♻️ Lactofermentation isn't just about preservation; it's a sustainable way to reduce food waste. By fermenting veggies like cabbage, carrots, and cucumbers (and these wilted turnips!), you can extend their shelf life and enjoy their goodness for longer. I simply combine 4 cups hot water with 2 tablespoons of salt to make my simple brine, then pour over my prepped veggies alongside any flavoring agents or aromatics. Sometimes I use airlocks or fermentation weights if needed, but for most cases, they’re not necessary. I love this fermentation method because it’s so accessible and user-friendly. Just let your jars sit for 1-2 weeks, burping every day or so. Once the fermentation magic has happened, you’ll have nutrient-dense veggies to snack on. Let's embrace this age-old technique to cut down on waste and savor every bite 🤍 Fermentation questions?!? Happy to answer!

I’ve said it once, I’ve said it 20262648 times… prioritizing sustainability often also equals saving money 💰 50 BILLION paper cups are estimated to end up in US landfills every year… it’s time to make the switch to a reusable Emotional Support Coffee Cup ™️ that will last you years and years and help keep so many single-use cups out of landfill! Does your local coffee shop incentivize you bringing your own cup?? My friend @Alyssa Barber hosted a coffee run in her city that helped cafes develop programs which promote customers bringing reusables— should we do one in south florida?!? Shoutout to @Klean Kanteen & @Package Free for providing me with my favorite cup ☕️ #minimalism #sustainability #zerowaste #lowwaste #plasticfree #sustainable #ecohome #environmentalist #foodwaste #minimalist #overconsumption #consumerism #deinfluencing #deinfluence #earthmonth #earthday #april #SustainableLiving #ReduceWaste #gogreen

Hi, welcome to the side of social media where cooking from scratch & growing your own food does not equate to alt-right ideology 👋🏽 I’m just an environmentalist who prioritizes self-sufficiency & resourcefulness— hold the traditional gender roles tho 🙏🏽 Thanks for being here 🤍
