Use your own cup tomorrow, Wednesday 11th December and we'll take $1 off your coffee!!!! You don't need a fancy schmancy cup (but if you would like one, some schmancy ones will be available for purchase with a portion of the cup cost going to Waipu Evolution towards an eco incentive - beautiful cups provided by @dirtyhippieinsta ). No cup shaming here, any coffee holding receptacle such as glass jars are accepted - we'll even make a coffee in your shoe if you want! I mean you're the one drinking it 😂 Let's work together towards phasing out single use cups! #uyoc #uyocupday #environmentallyfriendly #coffee #nosingleuse #cafelife #waipu #northlandnz @useyourowncupday @uyo.nz @dirtyhippieinsta (at Logan MacLean) https://www.instagram.com/p/B54xLOoJFv6/?igshid=10qc2akqvueoz

Always keen to remove waste and single-use products, I always use loose tea, and have just ditched the herbal tea bags for loose tea from Taste Nature. The spearmint is refreshing and zingy #spearminttea #tastenature #nosingleuse #sustainablelifestyle #myenjolife @tastenaturenz (at ENJOJennifer with ENJO New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2VfTLIAxPA/?igshid=25b0nyk6f5zw

REUSABLE SANITARY PRODUCTS I’ve had quite a few questions from friends about this topic. ☺️ I’m very happy to help if you have questions too, so feel free to ask me anything. . Reusable pads can be used for 3-5 years. If you think about how many icky plastic, toxic, bleached disposable sanitary products we send to landfill (200,000 tonnes of waste per year in the UK)... it's a switch that can have a big impact. Disposable sanitary pads take 500 years+ to decompose & the toxic chemicals released into the earth & air are harmful to the environment, animals & us humans. Plus, think of the money you will save not having to buy disposable versions every month. 😉 🌿 Have you made this switch or are thinking about doing so? . . . #avoidsingleuse #doitforearth #lifewithoutplastic #nosingleuse #ecoconcious (at Primrose Hill) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxaNSiIH3vs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xi9tco514k6p

HANKIES~NAPKINS~FUROSHIKI WRAP These pretty, second hand bandanas serve many a purpose & have found a home in my bag. Why reusable cloth versions you ask? Deforestation. Trees. Animals in said trees. Water used to make paper versions. Transport & packaging of paper versions. The list goes on. Have you made this low waste swap? I usually keep a couple in my bag & if they are used during the day I chuck them in the wash basket when I get home. Hygienic, reusable & kinder to our planet. 🤗 . Uses for cloth napkins while out & about: - Wrapping fruit so it doesn't bruise - Handkerchief - Napkin when eating out - Wrapping ceramics/other purchased breakables - To save a bad hair day - Spot cleaning white trainers - Buying pastries - Waving down a cab in a movie from the fifties . Sidenote- I try to refuse napkins in restaurants, but if it's already on the table when I sit down I take it to keep in my bag because I have seen many an unused paper napkin thrown away as I leave a table. Fair enough- how is the wait staff supposed to know if I've used it? Anywho, when there's no napkin on the table, a trusty cloth version does the trick. . . . #avoidsingleuse #doitforearth #wastefreeplanet #reusable #nosingleuse #secondhand (at Hampstead, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxQA9dfnxt3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1uo8gykqhw1cr

Three to go, in my own container please. :) It's impossible to say no to the sweet treats when I visit @babylonstoren .  🥐 Baked goods are so quick and easy to buy zero waste. Some suggestions on how you can take your faves away sans single use packaging: 🥨 * A cotton bag. * A tupperware (single use plastic is the worst, but use what you have at home until it reaches the end of its useful carrying days). * A metal tiffin tin. * Your hand. Eating on the go in its purest form. * An old ice cream/hot chocolate/biscuit box. * A large jar. * A basket with a lid. * An old pillow case. 🍩 What about paper bags, you ask? A *lot* of energy goes into producing paper bags and this often includes the loss of beautiful old trees, so try to avoid any single use packaging if you can. Plus, if paper is covered with food it can't be recycled. Most bakery packets are lined to avoid oil seepage too, so they can't be composted. All in all, your hand is looking pretty good right now. ;) 🍪 Do you have a favourite local bakery you like to support, or place you always pop into when you travel back to the same city? . . . #nosingleuse #easyzerowaste #allconsidered #supportlocal #bakedgoods #packagingfree (at Babylonstoren) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs_FvqLnX3l/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2gcaico1nec8

#Repost @zerowaste_munster (@get_repost) ・・・ How much space do 72 people need for transportation? - in 60 cars: 1.000 sq.m (left foto) - on 72 bikes: 90 sq.m (center) - in one bus: 30 sq.m (right) . I also like this quote: "You are not stuck in traffic. You ARE traffic." . Next time you choose your means of transportation, choose the smallest one possible. Especially if you live in a city with constant traffic jam. There just isnt enough street space for everybody to ride in their own car. 🔹 This comparison picture was taken in my town in 1991, long before I lived here. It fascinated me since I first saw it. Last week I rediscovered it and decided to share it with you. Hopefully the quality is good enough to understand it. 🔹 #zerowaste #lesswaste #zerodechet #ceroresiduo #basuracero #müllfrei #münster #plasticfree #plastikfrei #conciousconsumer #gogreen #waronwaste #ecowarrior #bulk #unverpackt #bio #eco #organic #öko #nachhaltig #sustainable #degrowth #stopconsumerism #noconsumerism #nosingleuse #climatechange #cleanseas
