My paint can compost bucket and I are off to the Farmer’s market! Food scraps make up between 20 and 30 percent of what those of us in the US throw away. And food waste in general makes up almost half of all waste. Composting is a great alternative. I thoroughly cleaned the can before I started using it as my compost and luckily, the paint I used had no VOCs. ✌️🌎 . . . #enviromensch #sustainability #compost #composting #sustainability #eco #greenliving #gogreen #earth #reduce #reuse #recycle #zerowaste #lowwaste #lowimpact #greenliving #sustainableliving #zerowastenyc #zerowastehome #zerowasteliving #green #vegansofig #apartmentliving #zerowastelife #upcycle #trash #garden #vegan #sustainable

An eventful day running a plate station outside of 2 pizza places in downtown Manhattan. We had 65 people borrow plates from us and choose to not make trash when they sat down to eat. That's 65 less plates in the landfill and countless people who saw people bring their own and think about their impact. Thank you to everyone who participated. Also big thank you to $1 Pizza - $2 Beer on Mcdougal for letting us post up all day...specifically the awesome owner Jaime. We also hung out in front of 2 Bros for a little while on St. Marks but we made them nervous about food code. Next steps are getting proper permission so we can show proof that it's safe.
