Every time I use a piece of “single-use” plastic, I remind myself that plastic is pretty much forever. Getting ready to chill empanada dough in this many-times-washed ziplock.

My very first blog post two years ago was about Purim and the amount of waste it can generate. Two years later, I am back with a few solutions… Link in bio.

Quick Low-Waste Tip! Every month or so I bake a cake that needs 3/4 cup orange juice. I don’t love buying a small plastic bottle but we never use up the larger amount that comes in a recyclable carton. This month, I bought the carton and froze baggies of 3/4 cup amounts, so I will have just the right amount when I need it. Baggies are either silicone or ziplocks being reused after a good washing. What do you use a little of you could freeze for the future? #zerowaste #lowwaste #zerowasteliving #zerowastelife #zerowastehome #lowwasteliving #lowwastelife #lowwastehome #lowwastefrum

Is my family clamoring for muffins made with dried fruit they’d been ignoring when it was in the pantry? Yes, they are. Link to full post in bio. #zerowaste #lowwaste #zerowasteliving #zerowastelife #zerowastehome #lowwasteliving #lowwastelife #lowwastehome #lowwastefrum

Now that (Mostly) No-Buy November is over, I can tell you how it went. TL;dr: pretty good, and my wallet is happy! Plus tips for resisting the siren song of marketing and advertising!

Saving nasturtium seeds to plant next spring couldn’t be easier. And seed-saving is a great low-waste activity because it saves the resources it takes to get the seeds to a store and from the store to your home *and* packaging. I was able to get enough seeds for next year just from what had fallen off my plants, but you can also pick seeds that are tan-colored off the plant. Set them on a piece of paper (junk mail is great for this) until fully dry. Store in a repurposed glass jar or business reply envelope you were going to toss in the recycling. Just be sure to label what they are!

Who is up for a challenge? Comment below if you’ll take the Mostly* No-Buy November pledge with me.

Work lunches don’t have to mean disposable dishes. A small tub holds two cups, two bowls, and two sets of travel flatware. #zerowasteliving #zerowastelife #zerowastehome #lowwasteliving #lowwastelife #lowwastehome #lowastefrum

I love kitchen tools that eliminate future purchases! This Misto Sprayer (I bought mine on Amazon) is a refillable spray bottle for the oil of your choice. Visit my blog (link in bio) for more low-waste swaps and tips.
