Thrift store find of the month! A ceramic lined pan to replace a non-stick coated one that is no longer non-stick (because it has all worn off into our food through the years...😟). I've always shopped at thrift stores for the 💲savings, but now I do it for eco reasons. Making a new product creates TONS of waste. Think about all the raw materials gathered, the making of parts that had to be shipped to the factory (wrapped in plastic), then the packing of the product and shipping it to you (all in more plastic). When you buy second hand, you not only avoid the packaging, but also all of the waste of creating a new item. Kitchen items are particularly good for finding second hand. Check out eBay or Amazons used section if you can't find what you want in a local thrift store. #reuse #chattanoogatn #thriftstorefinds #zerowastechattanooga #chattanooga #tennessee

Stop by our booth @reflectionriding this Saturday for a chance to win a reusable straw! We will be at the Reflection Riding Spring Plant sale and Earth Day festival this Saturday from 11-5! We have a fun know-your-trash quiz game as well as some info on easy zero waste swaps you can do at home to reduce your trash footprint. Come stop by and say hello! #zerowastechattanooga #reflectionriding #chattanoogablogger #chattagram #sustainablechattanooga #chattanoogafun #chattavegan #chattanooga_fun #chattanoogatn #chattanooga #tennessee

#smoothienight again! Also from the #hownottodie cookbook (it's the only cookbook I use). Here is the ingredients and how to get them zero waste in Chattanooga: •1 cup pumpkin or butternut squash, roasted (I roast a bunch at a time and freeze in mason jars) • 1-2 frozen bananas (any grocery store) •1 tsp or 1/2 inch turmeric (@crabtreefarms farmers market or powdered from the spices bulk section @earthfare ) •1/4 cup Your choice of nuts or seeds (bulk bins @wholefoods or EarthFare). Use a nut butter if you don't have a high speed blender. •Cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves to taste (spice bulk section at EarthFare) • 1 cup water Mix all on high in a blender for about 2 minutes. Enjoy! (And yes, my daughter is drinking it from a plastic cup. It's from our prezerowaste days and I wish they didn't love those cups so much! #notperfect ) #antiinflammatory #highfiber #zerowaste #zerowastechattanooga #smoothierecipes #whatveganseat #chattavegan #chattanooga #tennessee #crabtreefarms

Cheers to everyone who also waited until tonight to do their taxes😇. Filling a bomber is our fav way to drink beer these days. This one is from OddStory. Even though aluminum and glass are recyclable, it takes a lot of energy and natural resources for container that is only used once (and most are not made out of 100% recycled content!). Filling a reusable bomber is much better. It also saves 💲since each holds about 3 pints of beer--just enough to split with the husband and make our taxes more enjoyable but still accurate 🙂. #irs #taxday #oddstorybrewingco #bomber #squeaker #zerowastebeer #chattanoogabeer #chattbeer #chattabrew
