So, this article mentions some really interesting things that #China is doing to #ReduceWaste.
Excerpt: "Various restrictions on single-use, nonrecyclable objects like disposable slippers in hotels and disposable tea cups in offices came into place. This resulted in a boom for companies specializing in manufacturing #EcoFriendly disposable products.
"One, Bluepha, utilizes used kitchen oil or 'gutter oil,' a disgusting and rather unique source of urban pollution from street food vendors, as a source of carbon for the production of polyhydroxyalkanoates, or #PHAs, which can then be used to make disposable tableware like take-away containers and flatware. The oils in this case are replacing #petroleum products."
The article doesn't say specifically if the containers and flatware are eco-friendly, but it would be pretty cool if they were...

Toy Swaps are happening across Australia in all year round
- Melbourne
- Perth
- Sydney
- Wollongong"Toy Swap Australia is an initiative by the Joy of Giving Network, created to spark a movement around swapping. It's about rethinking how we utilise resources like toys, fostering community connections, and minimising our impact on the planet.
Toy Swap brings families and children together to exchange preloved toys, share stories, and enjoy the joy of giving. Each swap is more than just fun — it helps keep toys out of landfill, saves resources, and teaches kids the value of reuse and caring for the environment.
Everyone can be part of it. Whether you're a school, local council, community group, or a parent who wants to make a difference, you can host your own Toy Swap. We’re here to help with ideas, tools, and support.
Join the Toy Swap movement and help build a future where sharing is normal, waste is reduced, and every toy gets a second life."

Well, I just emailed our Town Manager with information about discount #RainBarrel and #Composter programs. I know one of our neighbors (who is on the Selectboard) had mentioned how composters cut down on the amount of garbage, and how many folks have home gardens and could benefit from both rainbarrels and composters! Local #SolarPunk vibes!

Food scraps may not be good for birds (though the local corvids would disagree with that), here are some recipes for humans that involve food scraps! (And I intend to try making banana bread using banana peels!)
19 Recipes That Use Food Scraps To Make the Most of Your Ingredients
March 26, 2024
"Our Best Ideas for Repurposing Food Scraps
It never feels good to throw food away. Whether you're tossing scraps from a batch of mashed potatoes or peels from bananas Foster, it’s always a win to stretch those pennies just a little bit further. It might come as a surprise to find all the ways that you can use odd bits of waste, from ingenious appetizers to creative sauces and sides. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite tricks for using various scraps headed to the compost bin so you can perform feats of culinary magic and save a buck, too. For example, many people toss the tough broccoli stems in favor of the dark green crowns, but the stems have a lot of flavor and a great texture if prepared right. Peel away the hardy exterior and include them in a creamy, cheesy potato gratin."

I didn’t ask for this catalogue.
I didn’t subscribe to it.
I even tried to unsubscribe - more than once.Most of us just drop it straight into recycling, and then forget about it.
Let’s stop normalizing silent waste.

Are you fed up of buying endless paper towels? If so, then this is the answer for you, these will act just like paper towels, but look pretty, and are totally re-usable, meaning you only have to purchase the materials once.
