What is the worst invasive species in your local area?

​What if the best way to handle invasive species isn't just to clear them out, but to commercialize them? 🌍
Entrepreneurs, chefs, and artisans worldwide are transforming environmental headaches into high-value opportunities:

​On the Menu: Restaurants are serving up venomous Lionfish as a delicate white meat delicacy, while backyard foragers are turning invasive Garlic Mustard into a nutrient-rich pesto.

​Premium Materials: Destructive Water Hyacinth is being harvested and woven into eco-friendly furniture, and aggressive Japanese Knotweed is utilized as a source of skincare antioxidants.

​Sustainable Crafts: In Australia, toxic Cane Toads are being repurposed into remarkably durable, luxury leather goods.

🌿 Spring cleaning update:

I opened one drawer and found…
• a charger from 2012
• three mystery screws
• and the sudden urge to live a simpler, greener life

So here are my eco‑friendly spring‑cleaning rules:
- ♻️ If you haven’t used it in a year, donate it to someone who will

- 🌬️ Air out rooms before reaching for scented sprays
- 🧽 Use up the cleaning products you already own before buying new ones

- 🌱 Compost the forgotten veggies (we all have them)

- 🧺 Wash in cold water — your clothes and the planet both win

May your home be clean and your guilt minimal!

Are you shy about bringing your own container to a take-out restaurant or café and asking for your order to go in it?

If you see this green sign in the window of a business in Silicon Valley, you can bring your own containers to fill without feeling awkward—and avoid single-use waste. The sign is like a beacon!

After friends and I started Silicon Valley Reduces (inspired by Roncy Reduces) and posted about it on social media, people contacted me with questions about starting their own groups. Ten additional groups are now up and running in the US (with a few more working on launching):

✨ Ithaca and Finger Lakes Reduces, part of Zero Waste Ithaca (NY)
✨ DC Reduces (for drinks and dry cleaners... BYO is not allowed for food...yet!)
✨ Sacramento Reduces (CA)
✨ Long Beach Reduces (CA)
✨ Stillwater Reduces (OK)
✨ Louiseville Reduces (KT)
✨ Detroit Reduces (MI)
✨ Baltimore Reduces (MD)
✨ Columbia County (NY)
✨ New York City, Upper West Side (NY)

We also have an umbrella group BYO - US Reduces.

Would you like to start a similar program where you live? You need only one other person (it's easier and more fun with a buddy), a sign and an online presence (website or a social media profile or both). Go here for more info on starting a group: https://zerowastechef.com/2023/02/09/normalize-bring-your-own-containers/

BYO is one part of the solution to the scourge of plastic pollution. Let's normalize it everywhere!

First post of the year and not even a bouquet bag in sight. That’s because my resolution for you all this year is to take better care of your things and the planet. This is one of many many vintage bags in my collection, it’s PERFECT isn’t it?

It doesn’t matter if you bought it for 20$ at hm because thats all you can afford, AS LONG AS you take care of it and make it last as long as you can. That being said, if you can allow yourself, buy from local artists and designers. They (we) make the world a more beautiful place and they don’t harm the planet as much, in part because of the scale of their production.

That’s my resolution for us. Now the other reason this post is relevant is that it should hold me accountable to my other resolution which is to finally setup a vintage section on the website. I have so many good bags you guys!!

Im not at all here to preach, to prove it I will come clean and tell you I bought a pair of Ardene shoes for 18$ because that’s what I can afford right now lol - but I intend to take extra good care of them (considering they’re probably not of the utmost quality hahaha they need the extra care) and keep them a very long time.

That’s all, I think 🤔

Oh and I will go to the gym, eat better, have more s*x and not scream at my kid etc

Ta-ta for now my lovelies and a very happy new year to you all ❤️
