Green Goblins

I went to a VRBO cabin in Ely, MN with family this weekend (17 people) - It didn't have recycling or compost - so I set up bags & asked everyone to separate (& I removed/reminded if trash got put in recycling). Long story short - We had 5 full bags - BUT 3 were recycling, 1 was compost & only 1 was trash! (I took the recycling...

A reused backpack filled with recycled tins from Christmas cookies, mix matched silverware that was going to the thrift store, old dish towels turned napkins, and parmesan cheese containers for drink refills made a free kit for leftovers for the whole family.

Zero waste mascara! Everything old is new again. I remember seeing such as a child on my grandmother's makeup case. I had completely forgotten that this is how makeup was before plastics: in cake form!

I mostly use reusable containers but have just discovered bees wax wraps and find those useful too.

I use a screen protector and shock absorbing case for my cellphone. I use cord protectors to keep my cords from breaking.

I'm going a step further & buying cardboard, glass or aluminum packaged good instead - example - I bought organic garlic in glass jar instead of plastic squeeze tube (next to each other on shelf same price too)
