Suistainable Methods in and Around the Kitchen

Suistainable Methods in and Around the Kitchen

Everyone knows about the notorious plastic grocery bag. This single use plastic gets found everywhere as it is light weight and can get carried long and wide. Whether that be roadsides, in the middle of our ocean, or even in the middle of the forest. Trust me, I have spotted a ton of them out on very secluded hikes where I would never expect them to be.

We use plastic in essentially all of…

I absolutely love this charcoal floss. I swear it works better than regular floss. Not to mention, zero plastic! Once you have purchased your reusable glass container, all you have to do is buy the refills which use all recyclable material. So worth it. #zerowaste #stopsingleuseplastic #lesswaste #suistainability #blogpost #blog #blogger #lifestyleblogger #charcoalfloss #noplastic #plasticpollution #environmentallyfriendly #floss #ecofriendly #zeroplastic #lovemotherearth #lovetheenvironment #environment #motherearth #reusable https://www.instagram.com/p/By4L6KnHfSC/?igshid=1t3v6rp932h2b

Sustainability as a new way of Living

Looking into the recent discussion of bio art and the the ethic surrounding it, I’ve come across the problem of acknowledging responsible design practice and how it goes in hand with the future of sustainability. From our group conversation this evening, I’m wondering why we as a species have the desire to make ourselves more and more permanent, and have things that will last longer in a world where culture and consumption walk hand and hand.

If you want to consider a sustainable way of living, I find that essentially you would have to downgrade technology, and maybe even comfort levels, which can be applied to our homes. Our house are made out of man made material now, dry wall and insulation. What has changed in Canada since the era of wood cabins is that we look to biology and science for materials that are better for the environment, and they decompose faster.

As designers and artists, I find that it is important to question as Bracha mentioned in our group meeting, that we are somehow responsible for where our material comes from and where it goes at the end of it’s life. 

To live sustainably, in order to continue as a species, we must make sacrifices to permanence, because there is not an endless supply of material on the planet.
