  • What's your favorite #zerowaste beverage? I'm a big (herbal) tea drinker, my partner Hanno pretty much only drinks tap water and a black coffee from time to time. I just made my own barley tea (a summer staple ☀️ in many East Asian countries, called e.g. mugicha 麦茶 in Japanese, da man cha 大麥茶 in Chinese, bori-cha 보리차 in Korean) ! All I had to do was to roast some almost locally-grown organic barley we bought directly from a farmer in a 5 kg/11 lb paper bag last fall. Check my story for more 😊! • #PACKAGEFREE BEVERAGE OPTIONS 💦 Tap water🚰, if possible. If not, sometimes certified filters or even bottles with built-in filters can help. I like to add mint or fruit to spice up the tap water. 🌿 Herbals teas (infusions), preferably locally grown. You can even grow herbs on the windowsill! 🍵 You can usually #bringyourowncontainer to buy loose leaf teas in tea shops or Chinese Medicine shops. We use a reusable stainless steel tea strainer. 🍎 Smoothies from fresh fruits instead of juices. This way you benefit from all the nutrients the fruit has to offer! Just keep in mind smoothies are also high in (natural) sugar, so enjoy in moderation 😉. 🥛 We make our own oat milk by blending oats with water. We make almond milk for guests. We're lazy, so we don't strain our mylk 😝 (unless we have ppl over). ☕️ We used to buy coffee from coffee roasters in our own tins, but now we don't even have coffee at home anymore because we hardly drink coffee anymore. 🥃 I brew my own kombucha with organic black tea and locally grown organic sugar I buy in bulk. 🍺 In Germany, we buy local organic beer in flip-top glass bottles. We can return the bottles and they'll get refilled. It's a very common system. In Canada we used to go to breweries to have them fill up our growlers. 🍷 We don't drink wine, but I heard you can ask wineries to fill the wine into your own bottles during bottling season. • As always, we try to make the more sustainable option our staple and treat the other options as a treat 💚.
  • Our most recent #zerowaste #groceryhaul from the #farmersmarket ☺️💚!! Lots and lots of greens 🥬🌱🌿!⠀ •⠀ Did you know you can eat beet, carrot, turnip, and kohlrabi greens? Many people at the farmers market want them removed. We, on the other hand, ask for the greens. Why waste perfectly fine food? And it's free too 😉!⠀ •⠀ If you feel uncomfortable asking for these greens, say it's for your (probably imaginary lol) rabbit 🐰!⠀ •⠀ We like to use carrot greens to make pesto (simply blend carrot greens, nuts or seeds of your choice—I like sunflower seeds or cashews—, salt, olive oil, nutritional yeast is optional). Beet greens are perfect for green smoothies (yum!), and turnip greens make a great stir fry or are an amazing kimchi addition (I have a vegan kimchi recipe on my blog, link in profile). We like to add kohlrabi greens to soups.⠀ •⠀ Give it a try and let me know how you liked it!!⠀ •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ #beawastelandrebel #wastelandrebel #plasticfree #savetheplanet #savetheoceans #plasticfreeoceans #sustainablepractice #sustainability #notrash #wastenotwantnot #noplastic #bulkisbeautiful #gogreen #zerodechet #zerowastevegan #govegan #zerowastelife #zerowastelifestyle #nomoreplastic #wastefree #unverpackt #lowimpactmovement #minimalwaste #goingzerowaste #lowwaste #lesswaste #organic⠀
  • This is a DISPOSABLE-FREE coffee vending machine ☕️💕!!! It’s the one in our public library 📚! You guys know I’m a HUGE fan of public libraries!! This just makes me love them so much more LOL 😻!!! • You just take a clean cup from the right shelf and put the used cup into the left shelf. Simple as can be!!! • A fellow zero waster (whose name I unfortunately don’t know) once told me: “Faced with the same challenge, some people find ways, others find excuses.” • How often do brands, restaurants, and big stores tell me reducing their plastic packaging or the use of disposables is “unfortunately” impossible, because [insert list of excuses] 🙄. (I like to write emails with eco suggestions 😝) • While other—usually small and progressive—shops instantly get creative and find ways to make it possible!! 👏👏👏 • This is a great example of how simple solutions can be—provided you are open to it!
  • I’m a HUGE tiny living enthusiast!! (Yes, I do see the irony 😂 LOL) And one of the things I have always dreamed of was a Murphy bed 😻🛏! • Hanno and I share a 323 sq ft/ 30 sq m studio apartment—with a Murphy bed, whoohoo 🥳!! • We’ve actually been sharing tiny spaces ever since we started living together. Back then (in college) I asked if I could stay at his place temporarily until I found a new place. And that’s how I moved into his 210 sq ft/ 19.5 sq m studio apartment 😝. • Long story short: We somehow really liked living together and even though we said we wanted to find a larger apartment, we were too comfortable and too lazy to do so 🤪. • The reaction we get a lot even today is “Man, you guys must REALLY like each other!” 🤣 If you ask me, I think it’s the other way around! Living tiny forces you to learn to communicate and to be brutally honest with each other—something a relationship can only benefit from❤️, at least in my humble opinion. There’s no way you can ignore problems when sharing a shoe box day in day out after all! • I won’t lie, this can be very difficult in the beginning, especially if you’re not used to sharing your space or somebody else being in your business. • I had just graduated from (a public) boarding school, so I was still very used to having a room mate, and to things like hearing somebody else breathing at night 👻. Hanno, too, was very open to it and had never been one to beat around the bush, so we got used to it quite quickly with less drama than I expected LOL 😝 • Living this small (and being as lazy as we are), a bed that you can put away quickly has always been on our list. And finally, after 13 years of cosiness, we’ve got one!!!
  • Does anything here feel out of place in our #farmersmarket #groceryhaul? To us, it's the squashes 🎃!! We were extremely surprised to see a farmer sell squashes from their own farm this time of the year!⠀ •⠀ We had a really nice chat with them, and they told us it's a kind of winter squash with an edible, thick skin that stores forever. (Well, obviously not literally "forever", but forever like for a surprisingly long time LOL 😜!)⠀ •⠀ We were worried the squashes had been sitting in a refrigerated warehouse, which wouldn’t have been very climate-friendly either. But nope! They explained storing squashes too cool was actually bad for them! So they just kept them in a barn that they neither cool nor heat. And they told us to store them in a dark, not too hot corner at home.⠀ •⠀ When they said that we remembered how a farmer has once told us a customer of theirs took the same advice, and wrapped a few squashes in towels and shoved them into their closet. They forgot about the squashes until they decided to declutter their closet—in the summer ☀ of the following year 😳! To their surprise the squashes were perfectly fine 🤣!!⠀ •⠀ A lot of produce can actually be stored for many months—if you know how to and have the necessary space in your home!⠀ 👉 Potatoes 🥔: dark, dry, cool, but not refrigerator cool, well ventilated place⠀ 👉 Onions: dark, dry, cool, but not refrigerator cool, well ventilated place away from other produce including potatoes!⠀ 👉 Apples 🍎: cool (close to freezing but not below), dark place with high humidity (the in crisp drawer of your fridge works well)⠀ 👉 Squashes: let them sit out at warm temperatures in a well ventilated place for 10-14 day (=curing), then store them in a dark, dry, cool (but not refrigerator cool) spot⠀ •⠀ Please note that how long these things store will also depend of the kind you have, e.g. sweet onions spoil quicker, acorn squashes store for only 4 weeks, while butternut squash stores for 6 months.⠀ ⠀
  • If u do need to line your bin (i.e. for collecting organic waste), you can origami your trash bag 😎! (Swipe to see a step-by-step 💚) • All u need is—newspaper! We cancelled all our newspaper and magazine subscriptions when we went #zerowaste. But we don’t need any subscriptions to get newspapers! You can get old newspapers anywhere really—on trains, busses, at the end of the day in cafes, or ask friends and family 🙃! • If you happen to still have 🍑loads of old plastic or paper bags—use these instead! Or ask friends/family members with kitchen drawers full of single-use bags! • It’s always more sustainable to reuse the heck out of what you already have 💪💚!! (Unless it’s a product containing micro plastics!) • I used to buy trash bags until one day I thought how crazy it was to waste precious resources AND my hard-earned money to literally manage my garbage 😅! • While I’m at it: you can also re-use these things (newspapers, single-use bags) and packaging like chips bags to pick up your doggie’s 💩!
