Green Sky

I’ve got a yard that is an small urban jungle I can barely walk through, but the biodiversity is amazing!

My (incomplete) resusable cup collection

From newest to oldest (left to right) Stanley, Yeti and Hydroflask. Each has its own purpose. I also have a klean kanteen growler, a bamboo thermos and a Trash Hero stainless steel one with plastic screw top lid. I got rid of all plastic ones a while back.

Even items that help with low waste living can be susceptible to patterns of consumerism! Think before you purchase to see if you really need an item and don’t fall for the latest fad. Tbh most of my reusable cups were gifts, only the Yeti and Klean Kanteen were purchased by me. However, I am resisting the urge to buy a new one because I know I already have plenty!
