Tee mit Shia: Ein paar Fragen zu Zero Waste

Kommentare 10
  • I think it was almost three years ago when we decided to only buy locally grown seasonal produce. It was one of our new year’s resolutions 🎉, and guess what? We failed miserably 🤪! • We had no clue about what was when in season. Besides, starting in the middle of winter ⛄️ was the worst timing we could have chosen! Winter just isn’t the season of rich harvests after all 😂… • What we also didn’t take into account was: access. We quickly realized even health food stores (and we were lucky there were health food stores to begin with!!) usually source their produce from all over the globe. Back then I was working night shifts at a sports bar until 4AM, so going to the farmers market (where farmers were mostly reselling produce anyway) was difficult for me, and without a car ❌🚗 we couldn’t join any of the local CSA farms 👩‍🌾. • We decided to not get discouraged, and downloaded a seasonal produce calendar. Meanwhile, we found a health food store that made sure to put the name and address of each farm next to the produce, so we went for what was “most locally grown”, which sometimes meant another country. • Granted, Germany’s not that big of a landmass—only half the size of British Columbia and about the size of Montana. Fun fact: Due to smaller country sizes what’s perceived as an acceptable amount of food miles in Europe is very different from North America or Australia. • My point is: It’s not about perfection. And sometimes it’s just beyond your control. Be kind to yourself and don’t let it discourage you! Do your best—and who knows, you might discover an option out there you hadn’t known about, like urban farming or a grocer that sources from local farmers!
  • It’s the time of year again: the GET YOUR FREE LAUNDRY TIME!! 🤪 • These are horse chestnuts —aka buckeyes or conkers. 🌰! THEY ARE TOXIC WHEN INGESTED!! • Horse chestnuts contain saponins, the same chemical compound found in soap nuts. So if you live in an area where you can literally pick horse chestnuts from the streets — congratulations on having your own local soap nut! • I have an 👉FAQ👈 on using horse chestnuts as laundry detergent, link in bio. You’ll also find a link to the tutorial in the first paragraph of the FAQ 😉. • So who of you is as nuts as we are and already uses 🌰🌰🌰 to do your laundry 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️??
  • It’s getting colder now 🍂🌧! But instead of cranking up the thermostat, we simply put on our hantens 😉! 📷# 1 @saqui01, 📷# 2 @utatane_yukata 💚! • Reducing your environmental footprint can come in different forms, not only reducing waste! It can be your diet (e.g. opting for more local and plant-based foods🌱), consuming more mindfully in general (e.g. buying less, and if so buying used/ ethically and sustainably produced), conserving water💧—or saving energy⚡️🔥!! • So this is a hanten (はんてん), a traditional Japanese winter coat that was widely worn during the Edo period (18th century). 👉Swipe to see how it can be worn elegantly and how I wear it IRL LOL 😜 • Traditionally, it is padded with thick layers of cotton for warmth, and the collar is made from black sateen. Hantens are still worn in Japan today, mostly at home when it’s cold. However, nowadays they are usually made from polyester instead of natural materials. • We love our hantens, because they are so incredibly comfy and it’s easy to move in them, even when doing housework! Making one yourself is actually very simple! • I’m not Japanese by the way 😉. I only spent a year in Kunitachi, Tokyo during grad school, writing my thesis (on the nation state and nationalism) and learning the language (not very well to be honest 🙈). It was there that I discovered my passion for baking🍰—which sent me on my path to becoming a food blogger (@cakeinvasion), which led me to blogging about zero waste! • During that year we also worked on an organic farm🌿 and came in contact with other Japanese traditions that have later helped us on our #zerowaste journey! Wrapping things in cloth (furoshiki 風呂敷) for example. Many traditions we learned there weren’t just Japanese obviously, like canning and pickling, using small (reusable) bamboo spoons to clean your ear, or using the water from washing rice to do the dishes. We also learned how to make sake 🍶 and miso on the farm by the way #lifeskills LOL 😈 • If you want to learn more about many of these things, head over to youtube and watch @milliefreckles’s videos!! 💚💚💚
  • I say this a lot in my posts, but I feel I cannot emphasize this enough: Screw the “zero” in “zero waste” 👻! It is so not about the darn zero! I feel the “zero” puts so much pressure on many of us, when in fact, there is no such thing as “zero” waste in real life! Not in the economy we live in right now at least. And hey, nobody’s perfect, why should we be when it comes to zero waste?? 🙃 • The term “zero" waste also puts many people off because it feels so unattainable (which, as a matter of fact, it is!). Another thing I don’t like is that it often makes people focus on what isn’t zero yet (= being deficit-oriented). • If you don’t have access to the according infrastructure, or you have needs that prevent you from cutting plastic from some aspects of your life, the term “zero waste” can make you feel frustrated or that you might be a bad environmentalist. • This is a gentle reminder to all of you earth-loving compassionate folks out there to not just spread awareness and kindness to others, but to be just as kind to yourself ❤️! • I have and will continue to use the term “zero waste”. Not because I like it, but because of the amazing community surrounding the movement that established itself as the “zero waste movement”. I feel I have found my tribe here, and I am very grateful for that!! ☺️💕 • It is so not about being zero or perfect. It is about making better or sometimes even the best choices whenever you can. We’re all human. We come in different shapes, sizes, with different needs, and we have to navigate different challenges in life. We also have good days and we have bad days. Some of us have better access to things required for a “zero waste” lifestyle than others. • If I had to chose a name, I’d call it “minimal waste”. Because “zero” is absolute, but “minimal” is relative and different from person to person, and can even vary from day to day!
  • I get asked a lot by students about eco-friendlier options to or for pen and paper 📝. • Here’s what we do! Hanno and I actually share the fountain pen 🖋 you see in the picture! It’s not completely plastic-free, but close enough. It was also manufactured in Germany by a workshop supporting people with disabilities using local wood. The fountain pen uses a refillable cartridge and we buy the ink in a glass bottle. We only use the fountain pen when signing contracts or books, so the ink will probably last us a decade. 😂 • We take notes with pencil only. We used to only have one pencil each. But we got four new wooden pencils with seeds at the end (how cool is that??😍) as a present by @astarub, and my mom also gave us two used pencils she found at home. • We also bought a pencil extender/lenthener recently at our local #zerowaste shop @tanteolgakoeln, because my pencil is obviously becoming as much of a shortie as I am LOL 😂! There are also erasers made from natural rubber by the way, so you won’t have to worry about micro plastic when using your eraser. • Most of the time, we take notes on the computer or with our phones for convenience (and because my handwriting is really bad 🙃). However, whenever I need to sort my thoughts, brainstorm, or feel I need a to-do list that I can check without getting distracted (this happens a lot with lists on my phone!), I write on paper. • I like to use the back of envelopes for quick notes or lists. Our notepad is simply a stack of old envelopes clipped together LOL! For pretty much everything, we use GOOS (Good On One Side) paper, usually letters we get or whatever Hanno can get from the bin next to the copy machine at his office 😇. • I also started journaling recently 📓. I started out on my laptop 💻, but got distracted all the time. So I bought a notebook in a store yesterday! I went to the school supply section and got a plain notebook made from 100% recycled paper. • //Werbung (unbezahlt, unaufgefordert), da Verlinkung
  • Thanks so much for all the tips you shared on my last post!! 💚💚💚 • I asked for your tips for maintaining a healthy diet and not going way over budget for the month when on the road. (We hardly ever go on vacation, but we do travel a lot for our talks and other work appointments.) • I actually get asked a lot how we manage to travel both #zerowaste and vegan 🌱 ! • So we do usually bring some food, but prefer to buy food as we go because we only use public transportation 🚃🚌, and often we have to walk🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️ up to 25 minutes to get to the accommodation booked for us, and that’s heavy enough as is. • If there’s a zero waste shop, of course we prefer to stock up there! But usually we hit health food stores and buy bulk bread🥖, a vegan spread for it, and fruits 🍎and veggies 🥕that don’t need to be prepared. • So here’s the food we brought for this little 5 day tour! Bread 🍞and muesli for convenience (breakfast is normally taken care of, so bread & muesli are usually for on the road), and pasta, dried tomatoes, and egg plants to prepare dinner with 🍝(enough for two meals). • We eat out too, often for social reasons and because we usually have a pretty tight schedule. So even if we have an accommodation with kitchen access, we often don’t have any time to cook. We get back way after dinner time (most talks are in the evening) and instantly pass out. • Always check the options beforehand! Hanno looks up ZW shops and bulk options on the ZW map on my blog. He checks the city websites for farmers markets, searches for health food stores and bakeries on Google maps, vegan restaurants on Happy Cow. • Also make sure to check out the comments on my last IG post with all of your great tips!! ☺️💚
