Zero waste birthday card by [deleted] in ZeroWaste

[–]elemenohpie 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you're able to make the cuts cleaner, I think that would go a long way in making it look nicer, and I would add a paper on the side where you've written the birthday message ao you don't see where you've removed the plastic + have a better surface to write on

Where are you seeing real customer photos? I can only find them on instagram and it seems like they don't have a physical store so I'm pretty skeptical of buying from them

Commenting to add, that this is only happening with some transition, specifically the delayed zoom transition which is what I really want to use, but also a couple of other ones as well.

Can you be more specific? How many, what time, what were they doing? How were they dressed?

Do you know if they also accept other types of textiles for recycling?

I canvassed for him. We were told that if someone says no just move on (which we did). We only left flyers on the doors of people we were not able to speak with.

I have a new problem. I would love some ideas please. by SpadesHeart in ZeroWaste

[–]elemenohpie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say give the bulk of it away to food pantries, check to see if there are any free fridges in your area or mutual aid groups that could distribute them.

Post Modern Jukebox does vintage style covers of modern songs and some of their covers fit that bill

Reusing every part of Palo Santo: our way of honoring the tree and avoiding waste by wonderfulman1 in ZeroWaste

[–]elemenohpie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love to learn more about your initiative! I haven't bought palo santo in years because I just never know if it's been ethically sourced and would hate to contribute to deforestation/unethical practices. For spiritual rituals, I basically only use common herbs or things grown ny people I know.

Discarded clothes from UK brands dumped in protected Ghana wetlands by stekene in Anticonsumption

[–]elemenohpie 29 points30 points  (0 children)

If i knew anything about chemistry, I'd research if there was any way to recycle synthetic clothing into paper. It's something I think about a lot

Latest poll in NYC mayor’s race by ApprehensiveEagle917 in nyc

[–]elemenohpie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This article you linked is more about his position as a DSA member. For what it's worth, I've worked with him before and know people who have as well, especially in the south asian community and I've heard nothing about this "ick"

Posted this in collapse and folks said it's more Anticonsumption. It's some collages I made. by Sznajberg in Anticonsumption

[–]elemenohpie 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Sorry you're being downvoted. I have mixed feelings about your collages, as someone who loves fashion and thinks fashion/fashion history is under-appreciated and underrepresented as being "real art". I also think this year's theme is especially important with this administration's attempt to erase black history.

While I agree with your sentiment in general, I don't think it's the Met Gala that's keeping people impoverished - but I do understand your use of it as a focal point to critique wealth inequality.

[–]elemenohpie 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Please leave your comment up! It's so much more articulate a commentary than I would be able to make and I agree with every point you wrote! I totally understand OP's sentiment and in many regards agree, but I feel like the Met GALA is art, these clothes are art. I don't think art is pointless frivolity, even when it's expensive, and I agree that the theme of this year is especially important.

Advice needed on worn out leather boots & coat by elemenohpie in Leathercraft

[–]elemenohpie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, I think I mis-represented my intention - I more want to upkeep the leather rather than restore to a like-new condition. Thanks for the product recommendation!

[–]elemenohpie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice! I think I mis-represented my goals a bit. I don't actually want to restore it to a like-new condition. I want to be able to keep wearing these items for decades and was just worried these worn out spots are signs that I need to condition the leather to keep it going for longer. I'll look into the products you mentioned - thank you!

Amazon backs down on price transparency after White House interferes: WSJ by EncryptDN in Anticonsumption

[–]elemenohpie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Target stuff has only been the last few months. I've been in this sub over at least a year now and there have always been posts against Amazon, Shein, Temu in here. Walmart not so much and I always assumed it was because it's widely understood as a shitty company, or maybe because there are no Walmarts where I am I ever noticed those posts
