Hello.

I am a vegan and cannot find any milk alternatives that do not contribute to plastic waste. I would prefer the cardboard cartons that unfold without the cap.

Any brands that do this? Or offer a local glass jar refill location?

Main concern is going 100% no plastic.

Thanks!

Thanks for all of the suggestions; indeed, it seems buying from bulk sections & making my own will be the most sustainable! Thank you!

Recently got the news from Wild that they're discontinuing roll-ons for the US market 🫠 soo sad especially when i just started falling in love with them.

I refuse to wear any deodorant that shows white or has aluminum in it. anybody in the same boat as me? I'm hoping they bring it back before I run out of my next 3 refills. otherwise, what other options would you guys recommend??

I have friends who make some good food - from barbecue, salmon, biscuits and gravy, chili. The husband goes to the grocery store nearly every day. However, they refuse to eat leftovers. They may have enough left for another day or two but they just immediately dump it in the garbage can. It’s not a second thought.

The husband recently told me “You all are so good with keeping food” and I I said it will taste just as good tomorrow as it does today :-)

I do like to save money and I do like leftovers! The first time I really realized the amount of waste was at a party they had when they later went to throw everything out. I stopped and questioned it… and put some things in the refrigerator. They were tossing a small army of food though it was in the air conditioning during the party. I was told I was compromising food safety.

I think their method is wasteful and extreme.

Why would people refuse to eat leftovers? A sense of entitlement?

Best way to dispose/repurpose hundreds of large 9" cardboard tubes? They won't recycle them because the cardboard is too sturdy and they are hard to dispose of due to the bulk. Would make a great log cabin if they were painted and weather proof, maybe? Appreciate ideas.

My SUP I bought used is well over 10 years old and has been repaired a few times. The manufacturer said I’m limited in options now, glues don’t last forever. I’m riding on it carefully for shorter treks because I hate to get rid of it, but that’s not the safest plan longterm since it’s not holding air. I hate to put it in a landfill, and if I can’t repair it I wonder if there’s a way to use or save it - like make art or a big tote… I’m not sure, but I like how it looks. Anything creative I could do with it?

I had this squeegee with a telescoping handle but the squeegee part broke. I've removed it, and the attachment is still there so that I could screw something else on there, or otherwise attach something. Anybody got any ideas? It extends to about 4 ft. I'm leaning towards adding some kind of clamp so that I can switch out different things. Not sure how I would do it though.

I have a bunch of empty pens and refills, along with the plastic packaging the refills came in. I’ve been collecting them for about a year (Idk why), but now I want to get rid of them. Throwing them in the dustbin feels like a waste after all that effort. Is there a good way to reuse them, or somewhere I can donate them?

Note: They’re all plastic body ballpoint or gel pens that cost around ₹10–20 each.

I'm looking for an eco friendly and cruelty free lip balm with an SPF of 50 or higher. My skin is very sensitive to the sun to the point I will burn even WITH a high SPF when I'm regularly reapplying it, so a low SPF certainly isn't going to cut it for me. All the eco friendly lip balms I've seen don't have an SPF above 30 so I'm really struggling to find something. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
