When I think about all the things the IE team has cultivated in the last year and a half, I’m *truly* astounded. Between seeing IE + @allbirds posters while walking around in SoHo, to our conversation with a @whitehouse climate advisor, to an Earth Month summit (featuring a keynote from Brenda Mallory, White House Chair of the Council of Environmental Quality!), to creating our first ever publication, to producing a mini-documentary, to in person events, IE School, and so much more; wow what an incredible community we’ve had the opportunity to build 🥺❤️ Currently, we are hosting our first ever fundraiser as a nonprofit, of which Facebook has graciously agreed to match up to $50k. If you’ve been touched or inspired by IE’s work, we would love your support to help us continue offering free programming, create community-building opportunities, and fund our operations. Whether it’s a donation, a share, or just a comment, we appreciate all of your support, and wouldn’t be able to do it without you 🦋✨ 🌿 Graphic by @graphicsandgrain for @intersectionalenvironmentalist [image description: graphic with green text that says ‘Good things grow where you water them’.

Has trying zerowaste ever turned you into a hoarder / almost hoarder?

Because that’s been my case lol.

“I can re-use this!” & it’s just been sitting there being unused for months or years. I’ll find a use for it “one day” & I feel too guilty to throw it out. Even taking out what garbage I do have makes me feel guilty. So I wait, and wait, and wait.

And I don’t use “hoarder” lightly. I’m already a messy person, so adding a pang of guilt anytime I had to throw something away, or not knowing how I could give my extra 20-30 glass jars to someone who wanted them was becoming a big problem.

My advice:

1.) do a trash audit, and write down what habits or actions are making this trash

2.) organize these actions in this order: easiest to change - can’t change (ex: medical waste)

3.) find your local no-buy, free stuff, eco-friendly groups so you can give stuff away that you aren’t re-using

4.) recognize that some zero-waste changes will also make you have to address other areas of your life (mental health, time management)

5.) make zero waste work WITH you, not against you. If you feel like you’re forcing yourself to do something that sucks, find another solution - otherwise you might give up altogether

6.) research different solutions for different actions - if the solution is expensive, try to find the cheap / free alternative until you can afford to use what you want (ex: re-using ziploc bags until you can afford stasher bags)

7.) take into account how your living situation impacts these habits (you might be successful at composting, & then move somewhere where you have to learn how you can compost in THIS situation, and that might be a few months and you feel awful for throwing away compostable items) something could be easy one place, and challenging / next to impossible in another. - so actions on the easiest to change - can’t change spectrum can change their places!

I’m sure I can think of other stuff later, but this is it for now. Thanks for reading, please share your advice & experiences if you can relate!

Found vessels

Moving into 2020 thinking about the spaces we fill. I spent much of this last year transitioning through spaces that weren’t quite the right fit, wondering why I was taking up space somewhere that didn’t align with my values. It was uncomfortable, it was slow moving, but each space was important. The opportunities of the past year may not have been perfect but I honor each experience as moving me closer to the work that matters. At the end of 2019 we consider our intentions for the next year, wanting to move on from the things we didn’t accomplish or places we didn’t get to. Intentions are essential but I encourage you to spend a few moments, before stepping into the future, to appreciate where you’ve been in 2019.

You showed up. It wasn’t always perfect but the spaces you filled this year matter. <3

🕯 | Today, like many days, I found myself sweating uncontrollably by our nurturing suns inescapable heat. As I reach into my bag for a handy-dandy handkerchief to wipe the sweat from my brow, I am horrified to discover I’ve left my whole prep bag at home. It’s okay to have a hiccup, so long as we learn from our mistakes. My current lesson is to prep my bag the night before at all costs! . . . For those of you who are wondering what is in my daily sustainability prep bag for my on-the-go adventures: Power bank Produce bag Water bottle Handkerchief Charger cord Prepped lunch Tupperware Fork/spoon Metal straw Journal Headphones Book Keys Mirror Fountain Pen Wallet . . .

This is my real medicine cabinet. No fakery. Yep there’s still disposable plastic in here. Until I can find a #lowwaste affordable toothpaste with fluoride, there will continue to be toothpaste in disposable plastic. I contacted the sellers of David’s toothpaste online recently. You know, the $10/tube toothpaste in aluminum, with no fluoride and an extra metal thingmabob that is somewhat wasteful. They proceeded to explain to me that fluoride was “poison,” despite the dental benefits of being in water supplies for the last 100+ years. My teeth are cavity prone and need fluoride. When will there be a #zerowaste toothpaste company that creates a fluoride version for a reasonable price?

Did you know that #teabags are not #plasticfree? Because they are compostable, we assume that they must be plastic free. Instead, a small amount of plastic is used to seal the bag. So next time you buy tea, make sure you buy it loose ☕️⁣ .⁣ Photo by Miti on Unsplash⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #slowliving #consciousliving #sustainable #sustainability #sustainableliving #environment #environmental #environmentalism #ecofriendly #greenliving #eco #ecoliving #minimalist #ethical #zerowaste #lowwaste #lowimpact #lowimpactmovement #lowimpact30 #learnminimalism #ig_minimalismo #minimalmood #fairtrade #soulminimalist #mindtheminimal #ic_minimal #zerowastehome #ig_minimalist https://www.instagram.com/greenverden/p/BvtXZt1givw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=182b8zu3dkvwj

I have found so many art supplies that I’ve purchased and half used over the years, so I’m using what I have and making myself handly reminders to hang up in my apartment.
