Last week I did a new blog post about @greencircle_altapasa and Altadena Farmers Market but forgot to post. Link in bio! I can not say enough how much @greencircle_altapasa has meant to me learning about zero waste and the impact our garbage has on the environment. So lucky to live in a neighborhood with @altadenafm and a community that supports zero waste! I have been too busy to volunteer recently, but will forever volunteer when time is available! (Waaaay too much homework this year!) Thank you @michikord and Elinor for your education and dedication! Link in bio to read the blog and the difference @greencircle_altapasa has made! #farmersmarket #volunteer #peoplewhomakeadifference 💚♻️♻️♻️💚 . . . ❤️🌷🌿🌳🦋🦆🌍🌞♻️ #savetheplanet #wearethefuture #zerowaste #environmental #kidsthatcare #bethechange #healthykids #ecofriendly #noplanetb #trashfreeteens #youthactivist #zerowasteyouth #ecofriendly #sustainable #climatechangeisreal #ibelieveinscience
This is happening today! Please stop by if you are by the neighborhood Silverlake in Los Angeles. Members of our Girl Scout troop will be there talking trash! #girlscouts #silverlake #talkingtrash #silveraward . . ❤️🌷🌿🌳🦋🦆🌍🌞♻️ #savetheplanet #wearethefuture #zerowaste #environmental #kidsthatcare #bethechange #healthykids #ecofriendly #noplanetb #trashfreeteens #youthactivist #zerowasteyouth #ecofriendly #sustainable #climatechangeisreal #ibelieveinscience
Thank you, @patagoniapasadena for supporting @greencircle_altapasa! And thank you, @greencircle_altapasa for being so nice to your volunteers! Everyone being positive, trying to help the environment, being supportive of each other, makes a nice circle! Anyway, love this Patagonia sweatshirt that was given to volunteers. Really, the volunteering with @greencircle_altapasa has been so fun and such a great cause. If it wasn’t for school stuff we’d volunteer every week! #patagonia #altapasagreencircle #volunteer . . 💚♻️♻️♻️💚 . . . ❤️🌷🌿🌳🦋🦆🌍🌞♻️ #savetheplanet #wearethefuture #zerowaste #environmental #kidsthatcare #bethechange #healthykids #ecofriendly #noplanetb #trashfreeteens #youthactivist #zerowasteyouth #ecofriendly #sustainable #climatechangeisreal #ibelieveinscience
My family was worried about convenience when we started trying to be “waste-less.” My family has now subscribed to @whogivesacraptp for toilet paper, tissues, and paper towels - and @plaineproducts for shampoo and conditioner (and will get more products when we run out of old lotions and stuff), and now just started with @dropps for laundry and dish detergent! At first my mom was worried that these companies were more money, but at first glance the cost only seems more because she is buying huge bulks! These products are delivered to our door, and then each supply lasts for months! Then it is nice because we are never out even when she’s busy. #dropps #plaineproducts #whogivesacrap #convenient #trashfreefamily #lesswaste #plasticfree #nosingleuseplastic 💚♻️♻️♻️💚 . . . ❤️🌷🌿🌳🦋🦆🌍🌞♻️ #savetheplanet #wearethefuture #zerowaste #environmental #kidsthatcare #bethechange #healthykids #ecofriendly #noplanetb #trashfreeteens #youthactivist #zerowasteyouth #ecofriendly #sustainable #climatechangeisreal #ibelieveinscience
Everyone just likes to go to the store to buy cakes and cookies ect. that’s wrapped in plastic packaging, because not everybody has time to homemake stuff. But this small chocolate pudding is super easy and fast to make and delicious! Swipe ➡️ for recipe (it’s vegan). This is from Robin Robertson’s cookbook “1000 Vegan Recipes” - my mom’s favorite cookbook. #holidaycooking #robinrobertson #easydesserts #vegandesserts #pudding #chocolatepudding #chocolate 💚♻️♻️♻️💚 . . . ❤️🌷🌿🌳🦋🦆🌍🌞♻️ #savetheplanet #wearethefuture #zerowaste #environmental #kidsthatcare #bethechange #healthykids #ecofriendly #noplanetb #trashfreeteens #youthactivist #zerowasteyouth #ecofriendly #sustainable #climatechangeisreal #ibelieveinscience
New blog post! This Christmas, don’t give your family a store bought card wrapped in plastic packaging. Give them a home made card! I love making my own cards because it’s personal and a really fun craft! #christmas #christmascards #crafts #funart #funcrafts #trashfree #zerowaste #merrychristmas #happyholidays #myswitchlist #trashfreeteens
My Nana made this wreath out of an old tire! She painted it green and put decorations on it. This is a great idea for making festive up cycled art, you don’t have to buy the wreaths made out of actual branches, and instead you can recycle an old tire you might have. What an awesome idea! Thanks Nana for this awesome craft idea, I want to try this! Happy Holidays everyone! 😄 #upcycled #upcycledart #oldtire #reuseable #recyclingideas #recyclingart #wreath
New blog post! Link in profile! Made a mobile out of aluminum cans. It was fun and super easy! Upcycling is a fun creative way to keep trash out of landfills (and we now know recyclable items is mostly a myth) - but also could be a good way of making gifts for the holidays! Link to my Pinterest lists is in my blog post. #upcycle #butterflies #diy #aluminum #mobile #artproject . . . ❤️🌷🌿🌳🦋🦆🌍🌞♻️ #savetheplanet #wearethefuture #zerowaste #environmental #kidsthatcare #bethechange #healthykids #ecofriendly #noplanetb #trashfreeteens #youthactivist #zerowasteyouth #ecofriendly #sustainable #savetheamazon #climatechangeis real #ibelieveinscience
⚠️VENICE IS SINKING⚠️ Because of climate change and global warming, the water is rising. Venice is sinking one millimeter every year, and has sunk 11 inches in the past century. A recent climate change study has stated that Venice will be completely underwater by 2100. Imagine in 2120 your great great great grandchildren are scuba diving and find the ruins of the once beautiful city of Venice deep down in the depths of the ocean. 😭 Please save Venice.

Some of my favorite environmental memes 😂 #memes #zerowaste #trashfreeteens #environmentalmemes #savetheturtlesmemes
Had the most amazing time at the Youth Climate Strike yesterday! Couldn’t believe Greta Thunberg was right in front of us during the march! But so amazing was all the young people- not just there marching, but on the stage! This was all organized by youth. I see a lot of negative comments about this movement from older conservatives, but we are the future! Only disappointment of yesterday was that I didn’t see @rainnwilson ! (But will never forget seeing @gretathunberg a foot away from me!) History is happening! #youthclimatestrike #gretathunberg #fridaysforfuture #climatechangeisreal #teenactivism #extinctionrebellion 💚♻️♻️♻️💚 . . . ❤️🌷🌿🌳🦋🦆🌍🌞♻️ #savetheplanet #wearethefuture #zerowaste #environmental #plasticfree #plasticsucks #planetorplastic #kidsthatcare #bethechange #healthykids #ecofriendly #noplanetb #youthactivist #zerowasteyouth #recycle #plasticpollution #noplastic #lessplastic #plasticfree #ecofriendly #sustainable #zerowastekids
Happy Halloween! 🎃👻 This is #3holepunchjim from The Office. Had most of this ready to go, thanks to needing to wear black and white for orchestra. Just needed to cut out black paper and found some double sided sticky stuff in a junk drawer. And of course, Jim always carries his reusable Sabre water bottle! #happyhalloween #theoffice #ecofriendlyhalloween #dundermifflin #reusablewaterbottle #theofficehalloween . . ❤️🌷🌿🌳🦋🦆🌍🌞♻️ #savetheplanet #wearethefuture #zerowaste #environmental #plasticfree #plasticsucks #planetorplastic #kidsthatcare #bethechange #healthykids #ecofriendly #noplanetb #trashfreeteens #youthactivist #zerowasteyouth #recycle #plasticpollution #noplastic #lessplastic #plasticfree #ecofriendly #sustainable #zerowastekids
