En 2021, l'Union européenne a importé près de 138 millions de tonnes de produits agricoles et gaspillé plus de 150 millions de tonnes de nourriture. C'est le constat dressé par l'organisation environnementale Feedback EU, dans un rapport dévoilé ce mardi.

When I first began zero waste, I would either use mesh produce bags or no bag to store my produce in my refrigerator. For the most part I was able to use everything before any of it would spoil.

Since moving in with my partner, she prefers to store our produce in thick, reusable plastic bags. She likes to keep a large variety of produce on hand to encourage more variety in our diets. And so it is not as easy to consume everything before some of the produce begins to spoil. She is under the impression that plastic bags extend the shelf life of certain produce. Unfortunately the frequent cleaning & drying required to keep these plastic bags fresh can be time consuming. I’d like to simplify these processes.

appreciate any input regarding convenient ZeroWaste methods for improving produce shelf life. Do most get by fine without use of produce bags?

We going back to school in a little bit and I was looking for idea to reduce my waste on that part. There is so many one use items there, usually sell wrapped in a lot of paper and plastic.

One question I have is about fountain pen : Is it better than ball pen given the plastic ink reservoirs that are discarded. I'm open to any suggestion on the back-to-school topic.

Here are mine :

• Always check what is not use or not finish for the past year before starting your shopping list
• Trade with family, friend and neighbour what your didn't need last year for something they didn't use
• Buy single unwrapped pen, felt pen and alike in stationery store. Bonus, buying the one or two felt pens or highlighters color you saves a lot
• Use a small white/black-board instade of a draftbook.

I have more head of garlic that I could consume. I wish to freeze some. Can I keep it this way ? Will it change or become somehow damage ?

I just don't get how people spend +$500 on a PS5 or an *Xbox to play games that barely work, and the friggin' thing constantly wasting 500 Watts of power. 🔥⚡

While i spent the same amount of money on a used laptop from 2019, where i can replay my favorite games from the PS2 era (and discovering some hidden gems along the way) using only 45W. 🔌💡🔋🍃

*At least the Series S does makes sense to me, since it's a lot cheaper and efficent, and it's mainly targeted for lightweight or previous gen titles.

"Fishing nets account for 46 percent of the trash [within the Great Pacific Garbage Patch], with the majority of the rest composed of other fishing industry gear, including ropes, oyster spacers, eel traps, crates, and baskets."

If you still eat seafood, please consider cutting it out completely.

It builds character! I wanted to see if it would be a practical fix. It is unnoticeable when I am actually wearing it. It is not a forever fix, so I will keep an eye out for used watches to see if I can snag a replacement 18mm band.

No more non-recyclable plastic waste from the razors, and no more non-recyclable cans for shaving cream! Plus, the safety razor gives me less skin irritation. I bought a box of 100 blades in ~2013 and haven't run out yet!
