Love the packaging of @beyondmeat sausages. See 2nd pic for their paper-based compostable trays instead of the normal styrofoam typical for sausages. They are wrapped in plastic wrap, but I’m fine with that for an occasional treat. Happy Memorial Day! #chattavegan #whatveganseat #grillday #happymemorialday #beyondsausage

What to do with ceramic and clay items when they break? They cannot be recycled. I have a container in my basement where I keep all our broken mugs, clay pots, stoneware dishes, etc. When potting up a plant, I use the broken prices for drainage in the bottom of the new pot. This is less expensive than buying pebbles for drainage, and it is one less thing in our waste stream. Sometimes the pieces need to be broken into smaller pieces, so I smash them with a hammer (wear eye protection!). It’s pretty fun 🙂 #zerowastelifehacks #zerowastechattanooga #reuse #zerowastegarden #zeroeastegardening

Strawberry season in Chattanooga is almost over! Simms Family Farm is still selling their strawberries each morning, although they aren’t doing u-pick this year. They open at 10am and sell out by 11am. The line starts at 9:30, but moves quickly! When we went last week they only allowed each person to buy 1 gallon each, but you could go through the line again and buy as many as you want! We bought 4 gallons 🥰! Bring your own container and it is a totally zero waste way to get strawberries, picked fresh that morning. I brought a plastic storage bin and they dumped it directly in my bin through the car window, I didn’t even have to get out of my car. Now we have our freezer stocked with strawberries for the year! #simmsfamilyfarms #chattanoogafarmersmarket #chattanoogafoodscene #chattanoogafarmers #chattanoogalocal

Happy Mother’s Day to the mother of all these crazy kids 🥰! Wish we could be with you in person today! @mary.corbett1 (I’m the one holding the baby in the first picture.) #happymothersday
