Things (uncompostable things) are going mouldy in my garbage can before it’s full. I already am only using a small bathroom garbage can in the kitchen with grocery store shopping bags in it- I can’t go much smaller! Any thoughts? Location:Prince George, British Columbia, Canada

1. I’d love to hear tips for plastic-free traveling. I will be going to PR for field work. I’m not sure rustic my accommodations will be, but I think I’ll be able to do my own cooking. My friends in PR have a hard time reducing plastics. Even produce is heavily packaged! Location:Berkeley, California, United [...]

I thought about making chips earlier in the week to be ready for the weekend, but wonder if they’ll lose their crispness. Any suggestions? Does anyone make homemade pretzels (not the soft [...]

I have yet to remember (in 14+ weeks) to ask for no straw when dining out. I have no idea why…. any tips? Annoying amazon.ca packing pillows: I had full intentions of commenting on my order for no plastic packaging to be included, but totally forgot at the last minute. Does anyone know if they [...]
