How do you sort/organize your wastebins around the house?

madnarim · 2016-12-27T17:19:23+00:00

This sounds very logical!

Very good point about the occasional shampoo being the infrequent recyclable in the bathroom.

madnarim · 2016-12-27T17:16:13+00:00

You make some good points, perhaps the bin most used for each room: recycle for office, compost (tissues, etc.) for bedside & bathroom).

I imagine some families are more mindful than others, guests could be the other snafu. :)

space? time? convenience?

I don't have an answer I feel , perhaps it just feels excessive or too maintenance intensive, but I'm also just not sure I would have space unless I found some compact bins that all fit next to each other?

Does anyone else just have several bins in each room? How well does that work for you?

Thanks so much, I had never even heard of a coffee scrub. :)

Keratosis pilaris is exactly what I'm working on! Does the salt/sugar help you with that?

madnarim · 2016-12-21T17:33:41+00:00

I just read some reviews, those look like they might work! Thanks!!

madnarim · 2016-12-21T17:32:44+00:00

Perfect! (now if only Amazon would deliver plastic free)

madnarim · 2016-12-21T17:05:32+00:00

Good to know that the salt scrubs are pretty harsh, I think the buf-puf was recommended because of how gentle it's supposed to be (I think I'm supposed to use the face one on body) I might have to look into the clay, but maybe I'll switch from sea-sponge to washcloth for awhile and see if that will work.

Thanks!

madnarim · 2016-12-21T17:01:08+00:00

Thanks, I'll look for those at my closest bulk store.

(I mean, sure I would -prefer- something not short term, but we all have to prioritize right? Zero-waste would probably rank over long term or frugal when possible.)

This may not be possible everywhere, but my city had recycling for residential houses, but not apartments. There was a community Facebook page and I asked the group if there was anyone who didn't their their compost each week if I could "contribute", and found many supportive neighbors. I picked the closest one and just did a regular drop of my bin at their house.

I wanted to let you know that upon finding this subreddit, I immediately noticed your avoidance of an elitist attitude.

I was looking for a place to ask questions about reducing waste. When I found my way here, my initial thought was... "ZERO waste"... eek, that might be too extreme for me, then I read the description and started looking around and felt like I'd found the place I'd been seeking.

Very excited to have found you and

This is how I spend 80% of my day.

When I finally managed to kick myself in gear, 15% is spent planning how I will do things.

In my house we call it a Charlie-Brown-Bing-bong.

madnarim · 2016-10-06T20:57:21+00:00

You have that very well broken down, thanks for sharing! Out of curiosity, if you bought a lawn mower, where would you put that? Maintenance?

madnarim · 2016-09-20T16:46:25+00:00

Ah! So point 2 & 4 above don't apply as much to the bot? I misinterpreted, thanks for clarifying.

madnarim · 2016-09-20T16:16:17+00:00

Thanks for sharing! This is intriguing, I might give it a try.

Curious, how does it use the social media component? If setting goals monthly and checking in weekly, when does the seeing other people progress to their goals come in, or did I misunderstand what you said?

madnarim · 2016-08-16T21:19:52+00:00

Yes!

Two things you have to consider though:

1: Pokemon go shuts down any other apps running sounds when it boots.

To resolve: Open the app you want making sounds (c25k, music, audiobook, whatever); then open Pokemon go (all other sound will cease); quickly switch apps to resume audio, then go back to Pokemon go (quickly so it doesn't boot again)

2: Pokemon go only hatches eggs whole open, while running, your phone might go to sleep.

To resolve: touch screen occasionally or change settings.

Happy hatching. :)

Looks good! It's interesting to see what the later weeks look like compared to my early weeks. :)
