July 10 at 8:59 AMI switched to bar shampoo, conditioner, and soap that all come in cardboard or compostable packaging over a year ago.

July 10 at 8:56 AMI switched to the Cora reusable disc over a year ago and have had zero regrets. The disc and vegan leather case that it came with cost me about $30.

I already own reusable produce bags made with recycled plastic, and even though the carbon offset of producing reusable bags is dubious, at least I'm using what I already have.

July 3 at 10:37 AMSomeone can express themselves without buying new clothes by upcycling their existing wardrobe, making repairs and alterations, and using their clothes for longer until replacing them is really necessary. Thrift shopping might work as well.

July 2 at 7:45 AMI spent most of my day yesterday working in the garden to plant more vegetables. I am excited to start canning things later in the season.
