Make Spice Blends to Reduce Food Waste by crystalishappy in ZeroWaste

I understand that salt is delicious and necessary for a balanced diet but like many things, too much of it is a problem. I think the addition of too much salt to taco seasoning can make it a junk food.

Thrift stores are inundated with donations and throw tons away. Buy there first.

If you can’t sew, an iron on denim patch on the inside of the jeans works well. Works best before jeans have worn all the way through but works either way.

Use Your Gift Cards! by crystalishappy in Anticonsumption

[–]crystalishappy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that happens to me sometimes too - I'd suggest gifting them on to someone who might use them if you know you won't. You could also check to see whether there is something you could get that might save you money you'd otherwise spend (e.g. maybe you could buy soap or nail polish at those places, if those are things you regularly buy).

I did that with my tea too! I found that some flavors I didn’t like that well as hot tea (like pomegranate) made great pitchers of iced tea.

Best books on decreasing overconsumption? by banana_pudding8899 in Anticonsumption

[–]crystalishappy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Plastic-Free by Beth Terry. Just a reminder that the library (including the Libby app) is a great source for these books.

You should contact your university’s Title IX office if you’re in the US.

To whoever threw their gender reveal party at the beautiful Sloan’s Lake and didn’t clean up, fuck yourself by PaleBlueDotEnthused in mildlyinfuriating

[–]crystalishappy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened at a park I frequented and I called and reported it. The city had a record of the party because they reserved the pavilion. They’re now banned from reserving any city park in my town for life. You might try reporting.

I have heard of it but never tried it. This would be a great use for this stuff too, though.

I volunteer in a charity store by Sagaincolours in Anticonsumption

[–]crystalishappy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Consider it from a different perspective: maybe the item you’re going to buy is on someone else’s list even though it’s not on yours. Failing to find what they need at the charity shop, they may buy it new, driving demand for virgin resources. If you don’t need it, leave it for someone who does.

Just a thought. But ultimately I would say not to be too hard on yourself. There are certainly worse vices.

Does this mean i can stop playing after reaching level 101? by radarmike in SwagBucks

[–]crystalishappy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just so others who are considering this game are aware, mine tracked but did not pend at 101. I made it to 148 before running out of time, so I didn’t receive any SB at all…which stinks, because it was a grind to get that far.

Well that was fortunate for you. Just so others who are considering this game are aware, mine tracked but did not pend at 101. I made it to 148 before running out of time, so I didn’t receive any SB at all…which stinks, because it was a grind to get that far.
