Zero Waste

Being "zero waste" means that we adopt steps towards reducing personal waste and minimizing our environmental impact.
Our community places a major focus on the 5 R's: refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle, and rot. We practice this by reducing consumption, choosing reusable goods, recycling, composting, and helping each other improve.
We also recognize excess CO₂, other GHG emissions, and general resource usage as waste.

Fermentation really just takes brine, which is water with a concentration of salt, and microorganisms will generate the acids.
My favorite way to keep things submerged is with a plastic bag of brine on top, since it forms to both the top of what's fermenting and the sides of the vessel.
