I Dream Of Living A Zero-Waste Life, Here Are The Struggles I Face (31 Comics)

I love that motto. I wish all tourists were like that (and throw their garbage in garbage cans)

Unless you get those plastic wrapped bananas from a few days ago..

What a tragedy ;)

Me

I sew my clothes from people's old curtains, table cloth etc. Nobody has the same clothes as I.

Me too!

And produce as much as you can of what you use. Humans take better care of things they have done themselves.

Cloth Bags!!

Grandma always said, "You'll catch more flies with sugar than with vinegar." Greta is right, but her delivery needs work. She's preaching to the choir, while alienating the congregation she hopes to reach.

yes it is normal for the climate to change BUT not that fast and not that extreme!

This is very familiar

i always try to take a little plastic bag with me when i go into the woods or at the beach and collect trash that i find on my way, so i can dispose/recycle it all.

Everything they told me was a lie!

Holy c**p!! A million bottles a minute?!?

Leather from pineapples and mushrooms? That's really cool. 👍

You can buy stainless steel cutlery at the thrift store for just a dollar or two. It doesn't harm the environment because it already exists - you're just re-using it. Get a couple of sets and wrap them in a cloth napkin to take with you. If they accidentally get lost/thrown out it's not a big deal.

My carpool is called the bus. lol

I do this with Christmas and birthday gifts. My family thought it was really weird at first and some even scoffed at me, but now my family accepts it, sometimes even welcomes it, and nobody complains about not having to throw all that paper away anymore. I use pretty bandanas or reused fabric pieces that I put away every time and the recipient can keep it if they want it.

As I've said before, trees are my favorite things ever. I appreciate what they do for us and they are so beautiful! Especially in winter, I call naked trees cemetery trees.

I get people hate ads and people don't like bills- I see no reason to have it in paper form, imo. For books, I like actual paper books, if they're for fun to read, but for everything else, just email it. Easier to sort, easier to clean up, and delete when done! No mess. Also that better for the environment thing. When they email us they ALSO send paper! I don't want to see the same thing twice, and deal with it, twice.

no it's from a building instead of it being washed our with plastic into the sea it is filtered cleaned and put into pumps like that one

Remember the big chain shops employ teams of psychologists to make us buy more. Try taking a list - and a pen. As you shop write the prices on the list. Add them up as you go along. Repeat the first sentence to yourself as you shop.

Also check if you really have to wash that item. If we only wore it for a few hours, it could well be fine to wear again.

Paper straws force you to use multiple straws in one drink, they cut down trees to make them, and they aren't even biodegradable. Metal straws are probably the best ones.

Last year I put my small Rosemary in the living room as my Christmas tree

Is it a good idea to put our decorations on the christmas trees outside? what if animals eat them and get sick?

my family don't go tree shopping too often, we had this one plastic tree we had for years. We had it my older sister's whole life if not longer, then had to replace it when she was about fourteen because it started shedding. It was sad, I loved that huge tree.

I dream about this possibility every Christmas when so many trees are wasted.

Aww this is more heartwarming than being inside in my opinion ^_^

I see Trump with the idiot hairdo's silhouette.

Silk is murder...

My family does the popcorn thing and I have to restrain myself before eating it off the tree!

Yeas they do I am Recycling cans and bottles to fundraise for my 8 grade trip and i am almost halfway there!

According to my chemistry teacher anything will work as long as it's an alkali so it can neutralise the acid. And then breath mints do the rest.
