  • This is our #zerowaste #groceryhaul for this week! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 • It’s not as much as usual because we won’t be home much this week. We have 2 speaking engagements (not public, sorry!) and appointments in other cities so we’ll have to travel. We do plan on prepping food and bringing our own meals along as often as we can though, but we will have to eat out too. • For my followers in Germany: We do have a few public talks coming up! 👇 April 26 Mühlheim an der Ruhr @fairflairmh May 7 Dortmund @tu_dortmund May 18 Calw (close to Stuttgart) May 23 Jena @jeninchen.unverpackt June 8 Dresden @permagold June 9 Magdeburg @frau.erna.31 June 10 Hannover @lola_der_loseladen June 11 Braunschweig @wunderbar_unverpackt • Do check the events page on my Facebook page for more details (link in profile). Some of these events aren’t on there yet, but I will post them as soon as all details are confirmed! • I will also keep you posted when the events draw closer of course 😊.
  • HOW TO PROPERLY DISPOSE OF YOUR BAMBOO TOOTHBRUSH • As to date and to my knowledge, the only compostable toothbrush options are the ones with pig hair (not vegan obviously). Some brands thought their bristles were compostable, but turned out it wasn’t the case. You can test this yourself by burning the bristles. If they burn clean, they are compostable. If they melt and smell plasticky, it’s because they contain plastic. • 👉I have an in-depth article on this on my blog (clickable link in profile).👈 • So the best way to dispose of your toothbrush is to separate the bristles from the all-natural, compostable handle using pliers. The bristles are held in place by tiny metal staples. • Many manufacturers’ bristles are recyclable, but usually not via your regular curbside recycling♻️. And many recycling facilities don’t bother with small, lightweight plastics because it is easier and more profitable to sell it as fuel substitute (= it gets burned in the end 🔥) or to just send it to landfill. The machines separate lightweight plastics from hard plastics by blowing air at the trash. Whatever gets hurled up will be sucked into another vent. • Some municipalities will accept the bristles at collection points or maybe your local recycling facility accepts them. But most likely you will have to dispose of them in the general waste, where it will go to landfill or be incinerated, depending on the waste management infrastructure where you live. • The handle, however, is 100% compostable. Before you compost it or bury it in somebody’s backyard 😇, do consider reusing it before you do! @brushwithbamboo suggests to reuse them as labels for your herbal garden or other plants!
  • Wahhh, can you tell I’m really excited??!!My book’s been out for a week now, and I finally got my own copies 😻😻😻!! • “Zero Waste: Simple Life Hacks to Drastically Reduce Your Trash” (@skyhorsepub), as well as the German edition “Zero Waste: Weniger Müll ist das neue Grün“ (@freyaverlag) 📚 are available in any bookstore or online (both paperback and ebook)! Support your local independent bookstore, don’t buy from amazon if possible. Clickable links to the ebook versions in my profile. 💚 • It is printed on sustainably sourced paper with soy-based ink and doesn’t come in a plastic wrapper. • 👉If you have already read it and liked it, please consider leaving a review on amazon (sadly, it’s important to get the word out) or goodreads.com! It’s much appreciated 💚👈 • I wrote this book with the voice of one my best friends since high school in mind. She is a career woman with a busy schedule and a long commute. She always said she’d love to have a more sustainable lifestyle but simply lacks the time to do the research and to DIY everything. • She wanted a preferably skimable guide with simple hacks that she didn’t have to read cover to cover. So I came up with the very visual beginner-friendly cookbook-like concept. It helps you get into the right mindset and provides background information, much like the introductory section of cookbooks explaining the particularities of a cuisine.😊 • There is also a chapter on zero waste helpers so you know what equipment will be helpful for your zero waste endeavours. It’s helpful and very practical information, but if you don’t have the energy to deal with it, that’s fine too! You can just jump to whatever you feel is manageable for you at the moment, or whatever you feel drawn to when flipping through the pages, and try one or two easy swaps or a one-minute recipe!
  • This is the groceries we bought for this week! I bought two chili peppers 🌶 (not seasonal nor local) to make my own chili flakes so I can start making kimchi again 😋🌶❤️! • I don’t know why, but I have been into eating cabbage raw lately. I managed to almost finish an entire red cabbage by myself in not even two days 🙈. Have 5 portions of fruits and veg they say. I say: Can I devour 10 portions of cabbage instead? 😂 • Anyway, some of you have seen the unpleasant plastic surprise with the plastic bag HIDING in the paper bag of nutritional yeast in my story last week. Turned out I should have just asked the owner of the store! She knows very well which products are hiding additional plastic bags inside and which ones do not! • I always thought matcha always comes in a metal tin or paper bag with another plastic bag inside. So I quit buying matcha maybe two years ago, and I ran out of matcha more than a year ago. But as you can see, I bought a tin full of organic (Korean) matcha! And there was indeed no plastic surprise inside! • And this is why I love going to small owner-run stores. They care and are usually a lot more flexible than chain stores where not even the store manager has the authority to let you use your own container at their deli counter. Whenever you can, support your local businesses, where the money they make also stays local for the most part, e.g. buying their kid school supplies or financing dance lessons!
  • ZERO WASTE EQUIPMENT FAQ 😊 ▶️Where did you get your containers/ water bottles/ cloth bags from? From zero waste bulk stores in Germany. If you live in a German-speaking country, check out my German blog for a map of where to find those stores and also sustainable online stores. Outdoor and health food stores are also good places to find stainless steel goodies. Check out @lifewithoutplastic or @ecolunchbox for #plasticfree containers. @onyxcontainers once told me they were testing plastic-free packaging, but I am not sure what came out of it. Check out @tinyyellowbungalow for awesome cloth bags. ▶️ Do you always carry these things around? Isn't that heavy? Nope, I don't always carry these things around just in case. I grab what I will probably need before I leave the house much like how I dress according to the weather conditions for the day. It really is just a matter of developing the right habits. ▶️ What do you do when you forget your tumbler but you want to get coffee? Or a box but want to get takeout? Or are thirsty but forgot your water bottle? This rarely happens, but if it does, I just have coffee/tea/food "to stay" or not at all and save the money 🙃. Or I just borrow something from ppl around me like friends or family. But even coffee shop owners of shops I used to frequent have lent me food containers when I didn't bring one bc I didn't expect I would want to buy something that day. Health food store employees have offered to lend me their personal shopping bag, and bakeries have offered to lend me a plate if I could return it the same day 💚 ▶️ Do you get turned down a lot when you bring your own container? Surprisingly, I almost never get turned down. I think it's bc we have learned to pre-select. We never go to places like McDonald's and intuitively prefer places that have real plates or cups. I always ask nicely but in a way that makes saying "Sure!" easier than saying "No", like "Oh, I don't need that, just put it in my container, please 😁" I try to make small talk and to make ppl laugh, bc it's always more pleasant when you can
  • TIPS FOR GETTING TAKEOUT IN YOUR OWN CONTAINERS ➡️Avoid peak hours. During peak hours most places struggle to get the orders out anyway. They often just don’t have the capacities for special requests and are more likely to reject them. ➡️Do NOT call 📞 to order in advance (unless all you have to say is “the usual plz”). Chances are that they prepare it, don’t have a place to put everything in the kitchen to wait for you and your containers to arrive. So they’ll end up pre-packaging everything for you into their disposable containers just to get it out of the way. ➡️Bring more containers than you’ll probably need so they have something to choose from. ➡️Try places you frequent anyway first. Most restaurants will be more accommodating if you’re a regular/returning customer. ➡️The first time getting takeout in your own containers at a place can be rocky. They might put condiments in another small disposable containers, throw in some napkins/disposable cutlery or put your containers in a plastic bag. That’s usually not because they want to upset you, but because they feel a bit at a loss. Explain why you don’t need those things and politely return them. GO THERE AGAIN. Learn from it. Bring a small jar for condiments next time, hand them a cloth bag with your containers, remind them you don’t need cutlery. It took us a couple of times to “train” our favorite restaurants. Now we have returned to where we use to live in Germany and they STILL remember, and are all like: “Nah, no need to explain it! We got you covered!” I’m so friggin moved!! 💚💚💚 ➡️If they say they cannot put the food into your containers for whatever reason, just order the food “for here” (on a real plate and all) and transfer it to your containers yourself! This way they are not liable and you still get your food, win-win! • Did I miss anything? What are your tips for successfully getting takeout in your own containers?
