Hey earth muffins! On my recent vacation, I did a bit of day hiking. Hiking is awesome because you spend time in nature while exercising too! It is important to remember your sustainability values even when you are deep in the forest; there are plenty of ways to stay zero waste on your hike too! In today’s post, I will share some of the best ways to have a zero waste hike. Make sure to use them when on your late summer/early fall adventures! 🥾
Hey earth muffins! Being on a plant-based diet can result in low levels of important vitamins and nutrients if you aren’t careful. An easy way to ensure you are getting the nutrition you need is to take some sort of multivitamin. Enter Rootless – this seaweed bite is perfect for anyone looking to balance their nutrients! I was gifted a 30 day supply of these bites, so I wanted to share my Rootless review with you all today.
Firstly, these bites are made out of seaweed (which is super sustainable!). Seaweed only requires sun and seawater to grow… And it doesn’t require any added water, pesticides, fertilizer, etc. that land plants need. On top of this, seaweed also draws carbon out of the surrounding ocean/air. This is always a good thing in terms of sustainability!

By making some simple changes to the way your home’s exterior looks, you can help reduce your carbon footprint and make your home more sustainable. Here are some ideas:
Hey earth muffins! If you have been following this blog for a while now, you will know that I have quite the mason jar collection. It is super easy to opt for glass containers in the kitchen to avoid pesky plastics. When I tell people that I store food in the freezer in mason jars, they are often surprised that you can do that. And you definitely can! In today’s post I will be sharing all the secrets on how to successfully freeze food in glass!
Yes! As I mentioned above, I have very few non-glass containers in my kitchen. Mason jars are a great tool to prevent food waste in the kitchen by popping leftovers into the freezer. Unlike plastic, glass can crack (and even shatter) if it goes from hot to cold or cold to hot too quickly. While you can obviously freeze glass jars, it is important to follow these tips to ensure none of your jars break.

So let’s fix that! 😍 I’ve almost tried every single Lush shampoo at this point, so I figured I would continue my tradition of sharing what I think about the one I’m currently trying out. With the promise of giving you big, beachy hair, is the Seanik bar worth it??
In terms of sustainability, bars are always better than bottles. I love using shampoo bars because you can avoid all packaging waste. Not having a hideous, brightly-colored plastic bottle in your shower is also a huge win. The bar is made of condensed materials, which means it lasts much longer than liquid shampoo because it hasn’t been diluted by water.

People love websites like this because they have a ton of options (in every category), are relatively affordable, and get your items to your doorstep in a matter of days. But, is quick and convenient always the best option for the planet? I’d argue it isn’t – would you agree? Let’s get into the not-so-great aspects of the Amazon giant… And tips to avoid shopping on this website!
Hey earth muffins! A great way to reduce food waste it to get yourself a compost bin. If you own a house, condo, or apartment with outside space, there is really no reason to not have some sort of bin. When I purchased my house in December, one of the first things I purchased was this compost bin… And I have been using (and loving) it ever since. Today I will be sharing my thoughts on this compost product to convince you all to start using it as well! 😉
After doing a search of all the backyard compost options, I decided on the IM4000 Dual Chamber Tumbling Composter from Amazon (affiliate link). It was the bin with the most reviews (almost 15,000 of them!); so, I figured it had been tried out by many other people. The price point is about $100, with it often being on sale for around $80. Because it isn’t as expensive as other bins, I thought it would be a good place to start since I was new to backyard composting.
