Takin' out the trash for the first time in 2019; actually, for the first time since December. • I'm still learning a lot about reducing my waste (damn my deep love of chips), but this feels like a moment worth celebrating. • What have I noticed since making a conscious change to lower my footprint on this planet? I spend less money, i cook more and am learning so many new skills to repair and preserve what I already have. • Understanding my personal consumption is one thing, but living within a system that is fuelled by consumption and operates on a waste-for-ease mindset is hard. It's also hard navigating sustainable practices when living in a place where the winter is so harsh and requires more resources to do things like eating a nutritious meal and keeping your home warm. But I thank the creative, radical and caring folks who teach me so much. Folks like @_wastelandrebel_ @zerowastedork @zerowastehabesha @fortnegrita • And in the spirit of helping this movement grow: if you're thinking about finding ways to reduce your impact and you have questions, I am always happy to help!
