Quick update:
I know I havenāt been posting, but my life has been crazy, Iāve had a ton of uni work and ~exciting news~ Iām going to apply to an amazing masters on one of the main areas of sustainability ššæ
Iām a bit afraid I wonāt be chosen, but if I am it will be like a dream come true, because Iāll be following my passion š
Iāll update you when I know more
Send good vibes pls! š„°š„°
it's (almost) my birthday!
here's my paypal / ko-fi / wishlist
here's the charity of my choice
here's my most recent creative endeavor
and here's a link to radicalize your relatives over holiday dinner
;)
I just saw the link for radicalizing relatives. To those who havenāt checked it out, it shows wealth put into scale. And yāall it really SHOULD radicalize people. We hear all the time about wealth inequality but the link really puts it in perspective
seriously click the radicalize your relatives link. seeing the insane wealth really blew my mind
where tf can i buy a guillotine this shits crazy
iām SO glad you asked, bc now you can 3d print one!
So. You want to garden.
For whatever reason. Right now as of uhhhh Friday March 27, of 2020, within the quarantine of COVID-19 you are most likely want to garden in order to feed your family as you want to save money from the grocery store. And to ya know. feed your family.
SO. Hereās some YouTube videos. Mainly from this one YouTuber since she runs her own farm. She talks about what to grow and how to grow as well as saving seeds. (Trust me, saving seeds is better in the long run.) You can also regrow kitchen scraps too if you feel like youāre unable to get any proper seeds. And for fun have a post apocalyptic type garden.

So, one of the things that annoys me the most about school supplies are these mechanical pencil leadās cases...
Theyāre just big chuncks of plastic that just hold those 12 leads and then theyāre thrown away... š”š”
Like, why not sell big ass cardboard boxes of leads with a life time supply instead of these little ones? Or why not have the option? I search everywhere, even zero waste shops, but no luck š
Maybe on day school supplies will be less wasteful šŖ
Hello there
This is going to be more like a venting post, different from what Iāve been posting
Even though my boyfriend likes vegan food and we eat it together, he really doesnāt want to stop eating any animal products. This worries me a bit because once we live together (it wonāt probably be that long at this point, weāve been dating for over 3 years), Iām really worried that he wonāt be okay with eating vegan.
Right now, I thinks he kind of thinks Iāve been brainwashed by the vegan community and that Iām making a very radical change without thinking it...
I donāt really know how to respond to that, because even though I tell him my reasons, he low key discredits them and tells me to be careful with brainwashing and radical ideas (a bit if I didnāt have rational thinking and couldnāt tell between facts and beliefs)
Iām a bit worried about this and not sure how to proceed
Thank you for reading my vent!
And if you have any advice, Iād like to know!
Hey guys! Sorry Iāve been awol.
Iāve just been with a lot of uni work lately and i found out Iām gonna be an aunt!
My immediate reaction was to run to the craft store and get some sustainably made yarn to make some things for my future nephew/niece š„°
This is what Iāve got so far, what do you think?
While media was reporting on ānames of vegan hot dogsā the EU Parliament signed away ā¬387bn to a new Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) that basically means destroying the EU climate target for 2030.
But this can still be undone. Members of European Parliament (MEPs) have not yet voted on the final deal, which is only a few hours away.
A link to email every MEP to #VoteThisCAPDown is below:
Artzy moment of the day (with materials Iāve had for years š )
What do you all think?
So yesterday I wento to a sustainable festival (with all the covid security measures ofc) and they had freebies for every guest (you had to get a ticket beforehand) and when I saw them I distrusted them, because usually freebies are not really sustainable...
Well, I was wrong. I got this shower flow reducer and I think it is the perfect freebie š canāt wait to install it on my shower!
So this is one of those āthere is no perfect zero wasteā kind of posts
Iām shortsighted, and even though I usually wear my glasses, I always like to have my contacts on hand for those days when I want to feel beautiful or when I have some activity where I have to move a lot š
I wear dailies because Iāve had a couple of bad eye infections with the monthly ones
So, I ordered new contacts and my heart tightened with all the packaging... this is really a lot of plastic that Iāll literally use once and throw out.
But I feel like contacts improve so much my life when I need to wear them and theyāre one of those things that I donāt think Iāll give up
But reduce? Oh yeah! I ordered 90 pairs of lenses, and these usually last me for about a year! Iāll try and make them last 13 months this time
Iāve had this problem for a long time: the shelf on my shower that holds my shower products always gets really wet when I take a shower, and all my soaps, including my solid shampoo and conditioners always get really wet. Before, when I used plastic packaged products this wasnāt a problem, and when I switch to solid products, and I started to leave them on their tins with the lids on during my shower and then forget to take them off... š¤¦š»āāļø
So, after I got my new solid shampoo with the string, I hung it up in the shower and itās been working really well āŗļø and now, as I needed a similar solution for my solid conditioner, I decided to make this little crochet bag with leftover yarn š„°
Itās not perfect but I think itāll do the job š
Do you guys like it? āŗļø
I bought a new solid shampoo and it smells soooooo good š
Itās from a small local shop and they sent some leftover soap from production as well that otherwise would have gone to waste š¤©š¤©

Iāve been trying to transition, but itās really hard when living with antivegans š
But Iām trying my best to do better every day šŖ
so my mum is a doctor and she's really anti vegan. I'm trying to slowly transition, but I wanted to tell her that I plan to reduce my consuption of animal products to the bare minimum. I'm going to try to convince her that I get enough nutrition and I'm going to suggest that I do blood work now and in awhile and talk to a dietitian. The thingis, there aren't still many dietitians that approve of veganism where I live and I'm afrait they'll not approve, and that my mum really makes it difficult
The thing to keep in mind is that you donāt actually need your Mum to support or approve, you just need her to accept it and tolerate it. She can say whatever she likes about optimum nutrition, despite the fact that most medical doctors receive very little training on nutrition, but at this point it just cannot be denied that it is possible to thrive while only eating plants. If sheās a practicing doctor she will have by now met vegans who are perfectly healthy,.
Ā We have athletes at the top of their respective fields who have been vegan for years, vegan strongmen, marathon runners, martial artists, NFL players - that it can be done is beyond doubt at this point. Show your mum the position of the American Dietetic Association on plant-based diets, for example - I have a bunch of links on health nutrition including that one here. Watching something like The Game Changers with her, or showing her this site showcasing vegan athletes could be a good move.
Getting blood work is a good idea and a reasonable accommodation for her doubt, and even if the dietitian doesnāt approve of veganism, they will not be ignorant of the fact that there are many, many healthy vegans and that it fairly obviously can be done. They should be able to offer you general advice at least on food you should be eating, if you make it clear to them that your diet will be plant-based no matter what, so what you want from them is to work with you to create a healthy plant-based diet.
Ā If itās safe to do so, you can always just insist on it and refuse to eat animal products no matter how she feels about it, though this may be more difficult depending on your position. I have a post on dealing with parents more generally here which may help with that.
Some help for those who may have trouble transitioning
Do you think we will actually combat climate change more seriously where it will be stopped?
Well a lot of scientists already tell us that the damage we have done right now is irreversible, soĀ āstopping itā seems like it may not be an option, what we are really aiming for now is damage control and then reversal further down the line. I donāt think that we will see concerted action until we are at the point where businesses and infastructure cannot function - this may sound cynical, but until it interferes with short-term profits on an international rather than local scale I canāt see intervention taking place on anywhere near the scale that is required.
Corporations and governments have long known this was coming, but capitalism is self-destructive by itās very nature, and prioritises short-term gains over long-term goods. Unless we shift away from capitalism, the state will never be able to bring corporate power to heel enough to curb the emissions, and individual consumers will just keep blaming corporations, as we have been doing rather uselessly for the past ten years. There is still time though and there is still hope - individuals can still do a great deal to reduce their individual footprint, and they should, but what we really need is radical, systematic change.
