That's real recycling, hooman

This is helpful

In a Slavic country, babushka would pickle them and they'd last for the whole winter if needed ;)

This is a great attitude, sometimes it feels like you are not making any difference but every little bit helps, and just being conscientious about it is a good start

Secret power of Asian parents exposed.

Good advice

Where can i get this

My mom has always done this it definitely saves some money on paper towels and rags!

Or you can bake/toast the stale bread and eat it as a crispy snack.

And keep old overripe fruit AWAY from new fruit, especially bananas, unless you want them all to ripen way too fast

You can replace almost every single-use item with reusable stuff, though

They jumped from incandescent to LED? We've had fluorescent since late 90's (which means we only had to buy them twice) before switching to LED more recently

reusable bag is better because they are more sturdy than cheap plastic one.

Or just chop and freeze them as soon as you buy them and skip the oil. I don't need oil for everything and herbs freeze really well.

Old me never ate kale

When life gives you lemons squeeze them in peoples eyes

Newer me: Knew washcloths just spread it around.

Ragú is $1.77 and Yo Mama's is $6.28. So it's easier said than done...

I’m sure they’re much better than store-bought but I assume we’re talking about an hour plus of work to save a dollar and a plastic bag.

But these are both the same really?

never heard of that!

How is it that your onions spoil fast? Whenever I buy onions, they can lay on the shelf for MONTHS (I don't know if 8 months, since I always eat them sooner, but 3-4 months for sure) - without any tights or any other equipment. Isn't every onion like that?

They are very uncomon in my country - I don't even know how to use it. Do you really get clean? How do you dry your skin - do you use a towl or paper? What do you do in a public restroom?

Hold on....what happened to the Bidet?

Rechargeable batteries were a thing more than ten years ago. I remember when I was about 10-12 and my dad made my whole family using them. So much more economical than single-use ones!

Or just buy the correct amount of leafy greens and eat them all before they wilt.

Or just use a towel/washcloth...

I prefer to put the cores out for the birds, they love them

...that doesn't look like tea on the right.

Unpackaged soap is fine, but how can I clean my skin with a dried blueberry or flower?

Well, good luck with that. I agree, this mixture works in MOST cases, but sometimes... sorry, sometimes you just need to use something with detergent if you want to clean the surface properly.

again here… how much? people tend to forget that the price of that stuff it's not for everyone. it's easy to be eco-friendly when you can affort that stuff. if i had the choice between 3 toothbrush at the dollarstore of one who cost 10$ and be do the job for a month… my choice is easy to make. when this kind of choice it's what decide if you eat or not...

What kind of psycho keeps the avocado sliced, instead of just eating them within seconds?

Or better cook those in a steamer so it won't loose so much ingredients

I switched to an aqueous ozone laundry gizmo and don't use detergent at all anymore. I have teenage boys and this is the first time their underwear don't smell like perfumed funk. They finally smell clean now. Plus, it works best in cold water, so no plastic containers, no environmental impact from detergents, and we reduce our power consumption all while getting cleaner laundry.

I just use tupperware for sandwiches. They go in the dish washer like everything else.

Beeswax food wrap is $18 per roll (on average) and you can use it five time before pitching it. Saran wrap is $3.00 per roll and you get about 10 times as much on a roll. Beeswax does not keep food fresh as long so you are wasting money and resources by buying it.

Why?

Again....why is composting the "bad" option? At least we're putting something back into the soil. If we eat it those nutrients are never making it back to the soil.

My mum reuses all the old wrapping paper every year. She hasnt bought new paper for over 15 years. Last year i "stole" her box of used and reused paper and wrapped it up for her for Christmas since its what she wants every year. She loved it and couldnt stop laughing

cake is cake. but cake already make in a plastic case form any place is not the same as the one you make in your oven.

Why is everyone making it seem like composting your unwanted fruit parts is a bad thing? Compost is good.

again… money… what's the price of that? make them affordable and easy to find and i'd buy that with pleasure.

Dont think this bar of dishsoap agrees with my dishwashermachine:))

So you have removed the bruised, dry or damaged leaves from your wilted herbs...news alert...you are left with nothing!!!

Solid shampoo is so very bad for dry or curly hair types

I hope none of those ingredients come in plastic containers...

OR you go to a bakery and buy a fresh bread without plastic packaging...

This one depends on many things. It takes longer for long hair, especially if you need conditioner. Also, if your water heating system takes a bit for the warm water to come out, a couple of minutes (and some water) will be wasted on waiting for the warm water alone. You may still turn it off while applying soap/shampoo/etc. and turn it back on to wash it off.

Ice is not without environmental impacts of its own, which is worse - the energy needed to freeze a cupful of ice, or composting a few pieces of strawberry?
