Hello! I love your blog and I’ve been slowly trying to reduce my waste production lately. It will take me a while because I’m an artist and produce a lot of paper waste that I do my best to at least recycle. Anyway! My question is where do you find low/no waste or bulk cooking oils? I know some coconut oils come in glass jars but what about olive oil or others? Thanks!
Hi there and thanks for the question!I know in my grocery chains, they offer olive oil (and other oils/vinegars) in glass containers with a small amount of plastic to keep it sealed. However, if that is not an option, then you can always check out online realtors (such as AmazonFresh or Instacart) and look to see if they sell the desired products online! If there is no luck on either, maybe check out your local farmers market/mom-and-pop shop and they may sell oils in glass! However, buying these oils in glass containers usually cost more, simply because of the better quality of oil. (For example, I buy extra virgin olive oil, which is more expensive but also comes in glass)Thank you and happy zero-wasting! 🌿
Amazon & Shipping Packaging
Hey earth lovers! Do you ever feel guilty about buying things on Amazon? Well, don’t fret! It’s not as wasteful as you would think, but you will need to put in a small bit of effort to create the near-zero waste shipping!
First, Amazon ships with cardboard with paper tape, therefor 100% recyclable! The cardboard is biodegradable, compostable, and recyclable, so do with this information as you please!
Second, Amazon has a 100% recyclable method of shipping called Frustration-Free Packaging. This means Amazon teams up with companies to create better packaging than that in the store. To find out more information, click here!
Third, Amazon allows you to have everything shipped in one box! So instead of having 10 boxes, all with different items in each, Amazon will hold all your items until they all come to their warehouse, put them in one box, and then ship it to you. You have to have all the items in one order, and there is a box that you tick that tells them that you would rather have all your items shipped in one box.
Fourth & Finally, You can email customer service and tell them to make a note in your account to avoid using plastic packaging/unnecessary packaging! (Email is [email protected])
I found out this information through Shelbizlee on YouTube!
**This is not a sponsored post. I was not aware of this information until I watched the video, and now I can produce even less waste!Â
Safety Razor Question
In my last post, I mentioned getting a safety razor. @heynells asked where they may get one. A quick google search revealed that the brand Van Der Hagen sells their safety razors at many big brand stores such as Target and at a reasonable price! Although I wouldn’t assume that this razor is sold zero waste, it is probably the last packaged razor purchase you would need. You can also search the internet for more expensive razors if you want to find some more! Thanks for the question!
Five Feesable, Solid, Zero Waste New Year Goals!
Need some solid and simple goals to help your zero waste lifestyle? Here are some tips that you can make happen within the next year (or sooner!)
1. Ditch the plastic straw. The paper wrapping around a flimsy plastic tube? Lame & super wasteful! Tell the server that you don’t want a straw! Still don’t want to put your lips on the cup? Get metal straws, where you can wash & reuse them!
2. Ditch bottled water. It’s probably the biggest scam out there. Buy a BPA-free reusable water bottle (or a hydro flask! I live in SF, I had to mention it.) Save tons of money on it. You can also buy bottled that have filters in them if you don’t trust your tap water!
3. Say no to handouts. You don’t need that business card; you don’t need the flyer for that event tomorrow; you don’t need that mediocre pen. These small things add up fast. If there is important info, take pictures or put it into your phone! Way easier and less mess in your places!
4. Every time you go grocery shopping, buy at least one thing in bulk! Drop packaged rice for for bulk rice. Switch packaged coffee for bulk coffee. Don’t stress about trying to buy EVERYTHING in bulk to begin with, do it one ingredient at a time!
5. Buy a safety razor. 2018 is the year you make that investment.
Those are 5 easy things you can accomplish this year!

i just saw the post about the post about buying meat and how it always comes in plastic... im a bit confused, like... butchers sell the stuff without anything if you ask them to. just bring a metal box, to store it in? if you really cant do that though your advice was really good.
Oh sorry! I just noticed this post. So if you don’t recall or are reading this for the first time, this is the post the person is asking about.Yes! Butchers can and will sell you meat in your own containers! But, for some, a butcher may not be accessible for whatever reason, and grocery stores (at least in the US) sell meat in pre-wrapped packages in freezers/coolers.
(image courtesy of a quick google search)So, if your only way of purchasing meat is like this, check the link out above on how to cut-back on your meat-buying waste!
Hello Earth-Lovers!
If you have any questions, let me know! My inbox is always open for both anonymous and non-anonymous questions! So feel free to ask away.
Hey Zero Waste friends! I recently got a resident assistant position and I made a bulletin board with these posters! If you need a small tip or needed some flyers, feel free to use these. Stay wasteless!
Zero Waste Moving Tips!
Moving into a dorm informed me of all the waste I generated! Not super cool. So here are some tips I came up with to help eliminate a lot of waste that comes with starting a new chapter of your life!
1) Don’t buy new furniture. Furniture generates a ton of waste! With plastic bags, cardboard pieces, styrofoam pieces, it all adds up quick with new furniture! Instead of buying new furniture, buy second-hand or refurbish some! Whether it be from a thrift store or from craigs list, this will reduce the waste that comes with new furniture while still feeling new! Changing the fabric or the color of furniture can make it feel new instead of used.
2) Don’t buy new clothes. Moving to a new place can lead to your wardrobe being outdated/not suitable for your new environment. Buying new clothes generates a lot of waste! Go to the second-hand clothing stores around! These stores will have the clothing suitable for that environment without the hefty price of new clothes and the hefty amount of waste created!
3) Pack Lighter. Requiring huge moving trucks or multiple trips can lead to a huge pollution problem. The more things you have to move, the more energy it requires to move it. So discard any old furniture, clothes, trinkets, or utilities that won’t serve you a purpose in the future. Not only will you generate less waste this way, you will feel a sense of relief getting rid of the old!
4) Leave the waste lifestyle behind. You’re moving into a new place, where it will be easier to leave those wasteful things you do behind. Don’t bring all those toiletries that have intense packaging, don’t bring all of those throw-away napkins or boxes of cereal. A new place is a new chapter in your life, and the more you bring from the last place, the more likely this chapter will be similar to the past one. A new place can lead to a new lifestyle, so take full advantage of it.
Hi, I hope you can help me with something. I live in Italy and we have a pretty efficient recycling system; we divide our trash into paper, plastic/aluminium, glass, organic and non recyclable. I was wondering if living zero waste in this case would mean just keeping my 'non recyclable' bin empty (because the rest is being recycled), or if I'd have to reduce all of my trash regardless of the type. Thanks for your time!
Zero waste is not recycling all your waste, it's not generating them at all! The reason for this is all the smaller bits and pieces to our waste system then we think about. For example, a truck has to come by to properly dispose of all the waste. This would lead to burning of fossil fuels (at least mostly in the US) and would require truck parts that do not get recycled/reduced to build the truck. Or, a recycling plant requires a lot of energy to recycle the used materials into brand new ones, then it uses more energy delivering the new materials to places that will use it, and then they will use a lot of energy delivering this product to consumers.Having a great recycling system is a great way to start your zero waste journey AND brings a sense of reusing materials sustainably. But, a zero waste lifestyle would eliminate the need for these materials in the first place.Thank you for the question!

Thank you for asking such a good question, @everydaydeeds ! So I haven't had to buy meat products as I've only been living "alone" for a year, and my meal plan usually covers my meat eating habits. But I am also an omnivore zero waster! So here are two non-answers to your question: You can cut back on you/your household's meat consumption! Instead of cooking a full piece of meat, cook 3/4ths of a full piece, so then you're making the same amount last a little bit longer, therefore producing less waste. Of course, replace it with protein rich vegetables or fruits, so that you're getting the full set of nutrients! The second non-answer is to buy meat in bigger portions. It'll use less packaging, and then you can place the meat into air-tight glass or stainless steel containers. You can then store them in a freezer, so it stays fresher longer. I only have one true answer, but may or may not be plausible based on your current situation. You can bring those airtight glass/stainless steel containers to the butcher and ask for them to simply put the meat straight into the container! Although it may take a bit longer and require talking to one more person on your long day of errands, it's a solution for purchasing meat on a zero waste lifestyle!
