🌟MY FULL year is trash + how I do it! 💚😱
It’s my birthday and I’ve gotten so beautiful heart opening presents! 💝
I really enjoy giving back. So here’s a present for all of you and our collective future on Earth - these images represent my collective year of allllll of my trash from each month that I sent to a landfill. 🤯
Yep, you read that right! This is all of my household trash.
I was a traveling in Geneva, Bucharest, Rome, Dubai, Upstate NY and NYC… but in total I made 1 melon or basketball sized bag of trash per month!
How do I do it? Well, it’s EASY! 😜
1) I don’t consume much. Wayyyyy little shopping! It’s amazing what little you actually need.
2) What I do buy prioritizes local, sustainable, biodegradable, upcycled, BOPIC/ underrepresented and packaged free.
3) Lots of farmers markets!
4) Compost all bio-waste
5) If I’m done with something I first see if I can sell or donate it to continue its life, then I recycle it and finally last option - landfill.
6) BYOE Bring Your Own EVERYTHING! Less single use utensils, bags, drink cups…
See?! EASY!
You don’t gotta and no shade if you don’t, but do you wanna try it too?
I recommend you to start with one thing on my list above. Once you get that dopamine hit of contributing to the greater good with your consumption and trash, you’ll be eager to try the other ones!
Happy my birthday to you and all the world’s waterways, ocean and beautiful creatures!
