#Homemade #BananaPeels #fertilizer.
I throw in spent banana peels into a large bucket of water, with a bit of cane sugar(you don't need much) to speed up the breakdown of peels. If you leave it in sun for 5 days, it looks like this. Strain out & use as liquid fertilizer. You can either bury peels in garden beds or toss into compost to boost biomaterial.#FrugalGardening #SaveMoney #Gardening #SolarPunk #ZeroWaste #SustainableLiving #FreeFertilizer #FeedYourPlants

Sowed watercress in 2 pots & 1 repurposed colander(lined with paper towel). I picked up 4 free colanders, on the weekend. They're all in a repurposed cafeteria bin, with water.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: ♻️🔥 #Chemical engineers at the University of #Surrey made a proof-of-concept #plastic that turns to gas at about 90º C and reassembles into a solid as it cools.
A #London-based lab demonstrated the polymer’s reversible behavior by coating paper and then heating the coating away. The team frames the material not as a fix for #pollution but as a step toward more recyclable plastics.

#Aotearoa / #NewZealand - #RepairFestival 2026
"The Aotearoa New Zealand-wide Repair Festival was launched in September 2024, successfully bringing together the many Repair Cafés, businesses, organisations, and Councils that are joining the growing Repair Community. In 2025, we saw an even higher and broader participation, leading to a strong desire for a month-long festival.
The Repair Festival 2026 runs from Saturday, September 5 to Sunday, September 27 (the first Saturday to the last Sunday of the month), as we host continuous repair activities and events all across the motu. We invite everyone to join the Repair Movement: communities, businesses, schools, universities and libraries, advocacy groups, and government.
Watch this space!
More events are on their way, they will be uploaded as they reach us!"

Here's the part worth knowing: the milk wants to do this. You aren't manufacturing anything. You're letting an acid finish a job that was already half done.
And the light in a kitchen where somebody just made cheese out of heat and a lemon is a particular light. It doesn't require anyone's permission or anyone's brand.

Off the heat, half a cup of lemon juice or plain white vinegar, stir once, then leave it completely alone for ten minutes while it breaks into white curd and thin green whey. Through a cheesecloth-lined colander, salt it, press it under a plate and a heavy can for twenty.
The whey goes into tomorrow's rice or the cornbread, not the drain.

Four dollars. About a pound of fresh cheese. Half an hour, most of it waiting.
One gallon of whole milk warmed slow to just under a simmer — 190°, or until it foams at the rim and stops sitting still.

Harvested a bunch of older Thai lemon mint & Vietnamese coriander from our repurposed bathtub planter. Allowing new growths to come up & fill the bathtub planter again.

City of #SpringfieldMO looks into starting new program to reduce #FoodWaste
By Billie Brightman
Published: Aug. 14, 2026 at 6:46 AM EDTSPRINGFIELD, Mo. (KY3) - "The City of Springfield’s Environmental Services did a study on landfill waste composition and found that 20% of waste being sent to Springfield’s landfill is food waste.
"The city already has #composting programs that have helped divert a lot of that waste and turn it into something that can help the environment.
"To make an even bigger impact, the city is looking at a grant to fund the new #FoodWise Initiative.
"Staff can apply for up to $300,000 from the #WorldWildlifeFund to pay for an educational outreach program to teach people about best #FoodStorage practices, how to prolong food life by #freezing and dehydrating, #MealPlanning, shopping smart, and using all parts of your food.
" 'How can we help people to better meal plan, especially meal planning on a budget,' said Environmental Services Market Development Coordinator Ashley Krug, 'which is something I think we all consider right now a lot with food being as expensive as it is. How can we think about utilizing materials in a new way that really lets us maximize the usage of them and not forget about the spinach that we have sitting in the back of our fridge every single time?'
"Some of it might seem obvious, but there are parts of it that you might not know about that can help you save food.
" 'Innately, we sometimes think like, ‘Oh, yeah, I understand how to handle this,’ Krug said, 'but oftentimes even our refrigerators aren’t actually designed sometimes in ways that are very intuitive for prolonging produce, for example. So when we can have those conversations with people, that kind of turns that lightbulb on.'
"Through education, the city wants to target families with kids under 18 and adults ages 18 to 35 because young people making change now sets everyone up for a stronger future.
" 'This also just enables you to take that into a long-term lifestyle,' said Krug, 'and those are the people who are going to be inheriting our landfill from all of us, right? So I want kids to think about having ways to preserve that landfill lifespan for as long as possible for themselves.'
"But most of the funds would help support food storage kits and workbooks so no one has a reason to say they can’t do it.
"City staff is finalizing the exact amount they will ask for so they can apply for the grant by September 1. They expect to hear back before the end of the year, as #WWF would like programs to start in January 2027."
