I think the metal baking molds are absolutely fine :) This was suppose to be a better alternative to the baking paper since it turns out it's often covered with a thin layer of silicone, so it can't be composted. It also can't be recycled, cause it's oily. So silicone baking mats can be a good alternative for that since you use them for many years.

I think it's wonderful that you've been using the same plastic brush for so many years! :) It's super unpractical and unnecessary to throw away something only to replace it with a new and shiny "eco-friendly" version. But when the time comes it's good to know what options we have to replace it with. :) The wooden brush actually survives surprisingly long if you put oil on it before you first use it in order to protect if from the water.

This is a super solid point, Tabitha, thank you for mentioning that!

This never actually happened :) But sometimes we imagine we put ourselves in different situation to try and make them funnier or more interesting. Don't worry I would never be so ungrateful to my boyfriend and I don't think he would be with me if I was :D

I'm so sad to hear that! Here in Bulgaria even if it's not broken when you throw it away, it definitely does once you drop it in the container. So there are no regulations of that sort. May I ask which country do you live in?

I'm Trying To Spread Awareness About A Zero-Waste Lifestyle By Making Comics (34 New Pics)

Absolutely! Because of that we actually made a little diagram with all different fabrics and there pros and cons :) Feel free to check it out in the post itself - https://www.instagram.com/p/CEqoVZRD88x/

Is it better though? Does the glass bottle make up for the extra energy needed to transport it?

Thank you Kay. I always feel upset about those balloon releases, but I only saw it on TV so no-one knew it bothered me. Now I need to make sure my family don't do this when I go. I dislike Chinese lanterns because of the fire risk as well.

Yep balloons suck.. one day my the staff of my office decided to launch 60 balloons for the bosses birtday.. couldn´t get them not too..sad.

Search for "dubai led lights" these lamps run on half power making them last much longer.

This is the reason you have to tell people when you don't like their gifts. I know it might sound rude, but otherwise they will keep wasting their money, their efforts and some natural resources to give you things which don't achieve their objective : to bring you joy. For years, my mother used to buy lychees, and I ate them so they would not be wasted, but I hated it... and she kept buying them because she thought I liked them. So much pain, for so long, and for no reason...

I'm Trying To Spread Awareness About A Zero-Waste Lifestyle By Making Comics (34 New Pics)

I am like that, too... And people call me a party-pooper. But why wasting money and materials on literal useless trash?

Wonder if the idea came from Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

For expensive items that makes sense, but for things like coffee it's not usually worth it. Several places I go to have an option for a digital receipt.

Often the best costumes are from what you already have lying around the house.

I'm Trying To Spread Awareness About A Zero-Waste Lifestyle By Making Comics (34 New Pics)

I guess, we should think about giving gifts like--food, something that is reusable, compostable, or thrifted

I don't have a garden anymore :[ but our city picks up our brown matter to make its own compost--and you can include Pizza boxes!

we make our own costumes and then hand them over to my friends and they do the same and it's just a chain

Don't use tea bags unless you know they are enviro-friendly. A lot are plastic or rayon, toxic and leads to deforestation. Loose tea leeves for me!

Biodegradable balloons still take YEARS to decompose. Plenty of time to maim and kill wildlife.

I'm Trying To Spread Awareness About A Zero-Waste Lifestyle By Making Comics (34 New Pics)

Yes!! Balloons make me so angry. Disgusting wasteful destructive abominations. I'm being serious. People throw parties in my local park and I find balloon bits all over the trails. F*****s. Sorry. I hate balloons.

I'm Trying To Spread Awareness About A Zero-Waste Lifestyle By Making Comics (34 New Pics)

We try to gift usefull stuff that the person needs or wants (personalized cutting boards or wine glasses, cake forks once since my friends did never have enough of those) or food :-)

I'm Trying To Spread Awareness About A Zero-Waste Lifestyle By Making Comics (34 New Pics)

Put it in a box- I never had that problem.

I'm Trying To Spread Awareness About A Zero-Waste Lifestyle By Making Comics (34 New Pics)

But they always ask if you want the receipt, AS they are printing it. If you could say NO before they hit 'print', then no problem.

I'm Trying To Spread Awareness About A Zero-Waste Lifestyle By Making Comics (34 New Pics)

I prefer making my own and keeping them as a sort of trophy.

5 years later and he's still reading the same book? Lol

In the post in Instagram we actually show different alternatives for eco-friendly period products and give tips on how to choose from them. :) I personally use period pants at the moment and totally love them.

Why are silicone baking mats and molds better than a wooden kneading board or the metal baking trays and molds?

French pressed coffee is also tastier than most coffee machines make...

Yup, that's why I will grab a cone over a cup any day when out for ice cream. No plastic spoons, either!

I don't think it's supposed to represent chocolate and white it's supposed to represent how the glass bottle is better for the environment and the cartoon is worse because it's plastic

I like to choose e-receipts when offered. I wish this was more available in shops.

We need the option to refuse it. Most small businesses ask, most customer decline, ends up as waste.
