  1. 40% of the food produced in the US goes uneaten 🗑️ — nearly $3,000/year, per family of four.

    5 habits that fix most of it:
    📝 Inventory before shopping
    📅 Plan meals
    ❄️ Freeze before it spoils
    🏷️ Label leftovers
    🍲 One clean-out night a week

    Food waste = 8-10% of global emissions.

  3. This afternoon, I'm straw mulching around gardens & making some in ground vermicomposting stations in mixed crops bed. I'll be using takeout soup containers to make my in ground vermicomposting stations. If I can easily make them from materials in my home/recycling bin - there is no need to buy them.

    Students Are Turning Cafeteria “Waste” Into Community Nourishment

    🥫 Cabarrus County: Kids are learning to sort untouched food from true scraps, transforming school culture around food, responsibility, and care for neighbors.

    🌍 These small daily actions ripple outward: less methane from landfills, more meals for families, and a new generation seeing food as a shared resource rather than disposable surplus.

    🤝 Student‑led habits can reshape systems, reduce waste, and strengthen community resilience.

  10. Ça illustre aussi un truc que je disais déjà y'a deux ans : le mouvement zéro déchet a disparu des médias, des mots et des préoccupations, mais ses principes (refuser, déconsommer, réemployer) et son approche (ACV, critique du recyclage) se sont normalisées. Au-delà des apparences, c'est une victoire idéologique massive du mouvement. blog.whoz.me/zerowaste/le-mouv

  12. Paid post just released today, providing a framework for starting a zero-waste lifestyle using the kitchen as a starting point!

    We give a thorough examination of what our key waste-producing habits likely are and several concrete solutions for each -- considering which are going to ultimately reduce waste at all points in the process and not just help us reduce the amount *we* throw in the trash.

    Please remember that every paid subscription helps us keep the ranch running in lieu of other income, so that $5 a month means a whole lot to us! If you can, we hope you consider it. But either way, I hope those of you already paying get value from this one!

  13. Polymer Editing Can Upcycle Waste Into Higher Performance Plastics

    Adam Malin/ORNL, U.S. Dept. of Energy By editing the polymers of discarded plastics, chemists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have found a way to generate new macromolecules with more valuable properties than those of the starting material. Upcycling may help remedy the roughly 450 million tons of plastic discarded worldwide annually, of which only 9% gets recycled; the rest is incinerated or winds up in landfills, oceans or elsewhere……Continue […]

  15. #Aotearoa / #NewZealand - Free #LoveFoodHateWaste Workshop: Peels, Stems and Pulp – #DevonportAuckland

    Sunday, 19 July 2026
    10:30 am - 12:00 pm

    #DevonportLibrary
    2 Victoria Road, Devonport, 0624, Auckland

    "Join Sarah Williams at Devonport Library for this free Love Food Hate Waste Workshop – peels, pulp and stems.

    These are parts of fruit and vegetables that are usually thrown away or composted but are often edible. This would suit those who are already on their food waste reduction journey and want to learn more as well as those new to the subject. We’ll get hands on and explore some techniques that can easily be replicated at home.

    The workshop will also cover practical advice on how to avoid food waste in the kitchen including meal planning and how to store fresh produce to help it last longer.

    This Love Food Hate Waste workshop is proudly supported by Auckland Council, #DevonportLibrary and is delivered by #CompostCollective."

  26. Viele Gartenprodukte aus dem #Baumarkt sind schädlich für die #Umwelt und enden als #Sondermüll. #Blumenerde aus Gartencentern besteht größtenteils aus #Torf, der aus wertvollen Mooren stammt. Dabei sind bereits 99% der deutschen #Moore zerstört. Auch durch Terrassendielen aus Kunststoff und Teerfarbe zum Streichen von Zäunen, entstehen massenhaft Sondermüll, weil diese häufig schnell morsch werden.

    Gartenbesitzer und -besitzerinnen können nach dem #ZeroWaste-Prinzip ihre „Gartenabfälle“ wieder in wertvollen #Rohstoff verwandeln🔄🌱.

    Im heutigen Post findet ihr einige Tipps, wie euch dieser Kreislauf in eurem eigenen Garten gelingen kann.

    Lässt man seinen Rasen zur Wiese aufwachsen, stellt sich oft die Frage: Wohin mit dem Schnittgut? Daraus lassen sich Mulchwürste machen, die unter #Hecken oder in Gemüsebeeten für Nährstoffe sorgen und dem #Boden vor dem Austrocknen schützen.

    In einem sogenannten „Drei-Zonen-Garten“, der Natur- und Permakultur-Elemente verbindet, wird überschüssige #Biomasse sinnvoll im #Kreislauf gehalten: Material aus besonders artenreichen „Hotspot-Zonen“ wandert in die sogenannte „Ertragszone“. Dort werden durch die regelmäßige Ernte viele Nährstoffe entzogen – Nachschub ist also besonders wichtig. Die „Pufferzone“, beispielsweise eine Hecke aus heimischen Gehölzen, nimmt Laub, Astschnitt oder verholzte Staudenstängel auf. Gleichzeitig bietet sie Vögeln und vielen Kleinlebewesen wertvollen #Lebensraum.

    So entsteht ein funktionierender Kreislauf, der Ressourcen nutzt, #Artenvielfalt fördert und den Garten lebendig hält. Übrigens: unser Projekt „Vogelfreundlicher Garten“ zeichnet Gärten aus, die besonders vogelfreundlich und nachhaltig gestaltet sind. Wer auch eine Plakette möchte, kann sich bewerben unter vogelfreundlichergarten.de.

    Was macht ihr noch, um Müll in eurem Garten zu reduzieren? 🌱

  28. The July newsletter for paid subscribers is going to be an introduction to going zero-waste: what that means, some considerations for doing it, and why you want to keep food out of the landfill.

    Now, none of this seems very groundbreaking, perhaps, but I'm going to get into some of the deeper considerations of not just "what" to compost, but how to even go further and truly utilize everything to fill further needs in your own environment. As always, we're going to take our specific experience as a case study and offer some considerations for what might work even better for *you* in your specific situation.

    We're lucky enough to have had a significant amount of support come through from all of you, and to be steadily building some potential income streams here. However, we are no longer operating with a corporate job at all, so newsletter subscriptions, direct sales of our products, and tattoo bookings *are* what's keeping us going right now. So if you have $5, consider bumping up your free subscription to a paid one and helping us maintain an almost completely closed-loop farm and continue educating folks in a resource-stressed region how to better utilize resources and give back to the land while feeding themselves and surviving our harsh climate.

    This *is* the work that needs to be done right now.

    I look forward to getting this one out for you all! And thank you very much for your continued support.
