Spring Foraging Find: Pine Spruce Tips!

The forest is waking up, and one of the first treasures to emerge are spruce tips—those tender, bright green buds at the end of spruce tree branches. These citrusy, resinous little gems are packed with vitamin C and bursting with wild flavor.

How to Use Them:
• Infuse in vinegar or honey for a woodland twist
• Blend into compound butter forroasted veggies
• Add to a jar with sugar and let sugar melt and turn
Into a yummy syrup which is a great cough syrup
• Make a refreshing spruce tip tea

Foraging Tip: Harvest only a few tips per branch to avoid stressing the tree. And make sure you’re harvesting from true spruce, not toxic lookalikes.

Have you tried spruce tips before? What’s your favorite way to use them?

Zero waste isn’t just about trash jars and reusable bags — it’s a mindset, a lifestyle, and a powerful way to live with intention.

By reducing what we throw away, rethinking what we consume, and choosing reusable and sustainable options, we:
♻️ Cut down on landfill waste
♻️ Save money by buying less + reusing more
♻️ Become more mindful of what truly adds value to our lives

Less waste. More consciousness. Big impact.

Chemical-Free Clothes Are as Important as Chemical-Free Food

We pay close attention to what we put in our bodies—but what about what we put on them?
Many clothes are made with toxic dyes and synthetic chemicals that can harm both your health and the planet. But awareness is growing, and so is the shift toward non-toxic, eco-friendly fashion.

Choosing chemical-free clothing supports your well-being and promotes sustainable practices like organic farming, clean water use, and low-impact production.
Organic cotton, for example, is grown without harsh pesticides or fertilizers—just like chemical-free food, it’s better for you and the environment.

Want to make the switch? Start with these brands:
1. Kotn – Certified B Corp using eco-friendly dyes & sustainably grown cotton
2. Eileen Fisher – Uses organic fibers & non-toxic dyes
3. Prana – Sustainable styles made with organic & recycled fabrics
4. Patagonia – Eco-conscious outdoor wear with a mission
5. Pact – Organic cotton basics with no harsh chemicals
6. Sanctuary

Code zerowastefamily
6. Alternative Apparel – Low-impact dyes, recycled materials, & eco-packaging

Every conscious clothing choice is a step toward a cleaner, healthier world.

Your skin deserves the same care as your plate.
