#azerowastelifebook – TIP 1: Make yourself a zero waste kit! • I am flying home to Sydney today from San Francisco. Many people have asked me about waste produced and the inevitable traveller’s guilt that comes with it. I want to remind you that ‘zero’ is just a goal. We can only try our best, stressing ourselves by being obsessive about waste will not be sustainable in the long run. Sustainability has to be sustainable for you. • Here is my zero waste kit which will drastically reduce your waste when travelling: 1. Stainless steel drink bottle (empty it before security and fill it up on the other side) 2. Cloth napkin and foldable tote bag 3. Reusable straw and spork 4. @onyalife produce bags (can be purchased on my website) • All of this is stored in my cotton bulk bag! So handy and easy! Why not make yourself a zero waste kit today?

Waste and Rebel

Shia Su describes herself as a vegan, zero waste, palm oil and plastic-free minimalist. She shares aspirational meal prep tips alongside pleasingly organised images. (We recently learned how to dispose of our bamboo toothbrushes and the secret to storing carrots so they just don’t spoil via her account.) Shia’s even got her yearly to landfill rubbish down to fit in one jar, which has got to be ultimate eco goals.

I am quite pleased with our "new" #pantry ?✨! We came from Germany to Canada with what could have been hand luggage only if we hadn't checked it in due to our razor blades and pocket knives. We moved into our new (fully furnished) home in April with no household items at all! If this had been us just a couple of years ago, we would have bought everything at IKEA, schlepping everything home on the bus or subway, going back and forth a couple of times to get everything we thought we needed. Not this time though! We managed to get almost everything secondhand ?✨! All of these jars are from Craigslist, the thrift store, some of my lovely Instagram followers (thank you @sophie.esterson and @liza.kimchi ?), and people's glass recycling boxes ?. Some kitchen items we borrowed for now. The only thing we bought new were a set of #organic 100% cotton bed sheets. We only bought it new bc it we couldn't get a secondhand set before we moved in and we really wanted to sleep in a bed with sheets ?. This can seem quite overwhelming. But really, it took us less then 2 weeks to set up our entire household-and we were quite picky too! We like things neat, clutter-free, and in the same color pallet lol.
