Low waste eating out

Yes, cooking from scratch is the most sustainable and waste-free way to eat, but sometimes it’s nice to go out to a restaurant or order in. When we do treat ourselves, we try to do it with as little waste as possible. When we opt for restaurants, the first thing we do is decline crayons and coloring pages for our kids. Instead, we keep an activity bag in the car that contains coloring books and pages, crayons and pens, card games, homemade playdough, yarn, and more to keep the kids happy.

We also order kids’ drinks in regular glasses and skip the straws. We keep a zero-waste car kit, so we have food containers to bring home any leftovers. That way, we can skip disposable boxes. We bought our stainless steel containers from Life Without Plastic. Our favorites are this circular container, and this rectangular stainless steel container, which is perfect for sushi. We love that they’re heavy duty—we’ve had ours for years.

It seems as if it’s impossible to have a great and fun birthday party for kids without the endless mountain of waste, from the plates, cups, napkins, and uneaten food to the gift wrap.

Is it possible to host a birthday party with less waste? Absolutely. We have a zero waste birthday box containing reusable birthday streamer, #plates, cups, straws, napkins, platters for home baked goodies or store bought ones, pitchers for homemade lemonade and even reusable party bags for the guest which we fill with bulk candy, pens or notes books.

This box has been so popular that many other parents have borrowed for their own parties.

Be the change you wish to see in others and other will follow your example

Finding good zero-waste dog food is one of the trickiest parts of transitioning to an eco-friendly lifestyle with your dog.

You might be lucky to find loose kibble in bulk, so you can use our own containers when buying food.

Hey everyone! 🌟 Looking to add some extra crunch and flavor to your pasta dishes? Try making your own toasted seeds pasta topping! It’s super easy and adds a delicious touch to any pasta dish. Here’s a quick recipe:

Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp bragg’s liquid aminos

Instructions:
1. In a dry skillet, toast the pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds and sunflower seeds over medium heat, stirring frequently, until they start to pop and become golden brown. This should take about 3-5 minutes.

2. Once the seeds are toasted, drizzle the brags over them and continue to cook, stirring constantly, for another 1-2 minutes until completely dry.

3. Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the toasted seeds to a bowl or jar.

Give it a try and elevate your pasta game with this simple and tasty topping! 🍝✨ #PastaTopping #ToastedSeeds #CookingTips #veganfoodshare #veganrecipes #plantbasedfood #thezerowastefamily
