What kind of soup is this?!? Veggie scrap broth! Rot is the last of the 5 Rs to reduce waste, meaning it is a last option. Many food scraps go directly to the compost in our home, but I do save the best of the veggie scraps in our freezer to make this broth! Link to the whole recipe in my bio along with how I make apple cider vinegar with apple cores! #refuseredusereuserecylerot #postyourcompost #compost #veggiebroth #diy #chattavegan #chattanooga #tennessee #chattanoogatn

Great idea @creativediscoverymuseum for a zero waste craft! #natureart involves collecting things from nature and arranging them like a picture. My 5 year old was proud of her creation! When done creating, you can put it all back into nature (or into a box for other kids to use in the case of the Creative Discovery Museum). Kids crafts often involve very non-zero waste supplies such as synthetic glue, plastic tape, and polyester yarn/beads/stickers/ect. It has been a fun adventure with my 5 year old to discover ways for her to be creative without creating a polluted world for her to inherit. #leaveitbetterthanyoufoundit #naturecrafts #creativediscoverymuseum #chattanooga_fun #chattanoogakids #chattanooga #tennessee

Getting stuff ready to go lead our first #ZeroWaste workshop at @beesonabicycle ! Excited to share what we’ve learned with and learn from!) the #ZeroWasteChattanooga community. #zerowasteworkshop #chattanooga_fun #chattanooga #chattanoogaevents

We started our zero waste journey almost 2 years ago with 5 rolls of paper towels. Now we are down to about 2.5 rolls. How have we made them last so long? We reserve them for cleaning up only two things: Poop and vomit (yes, I'm a mom and both those things are occasional found in our house!). One daughter had a stomach bug a few weeks ago and I was grateful we had been so judicious with our supply! To keep myself from absentmindedly grabbing them for another purpose, we now keep our supply on the bottom shelf of a closet not in the kitchen. What do we use instead of paper towels to wipe up spills? A real towel. #oldthingsarenew #unpapertowels #chatt #zerowaste #zerowastechattanooga #savethetrees #chattanooga #tn #chatttn
