Hello everybody! I know tons of people do not have access to Farmer’s Markets or greengrocers but does that mean there is no way you can do zero waste? Of course no! Last week, I picked up all of these beauties from my local grocery store, all plastic free. I also put up a little image of how I used some of the food. Even if you cannot go all the way it is so important to try.

Hello everybody! Some time ago I put up a video taking you guys through my day, what kind of zero waste food I make and where I go to the Farmer’s Market. Furthermore, I also explain why I have been so inactive the past month, so you are very welcome to check out the video if you have more questions or just general curiosity. I just finished my bachelor’s degree in English and Cultural Understanding, and I am so happy, tired, but mostly happy!

 

Hello everyone! These last few days have been so busy and so amazing! Thursday I went to Fredericia to talk about zero waste and to host a workshop where the attendees got to make their own zero waste toothpaste! It was a huge success and everyone was so nice and open minded! Today, I talked more about zero waste! This time in Aalborg and during an event hosted by GRO SELV. Hearing about all of these amazing eco friendly initiatives got me so inspired! They made amazing vegetarian lunch and I talked for a good 20 minutes, briefly presenting the zero waste lifestyle and how to get started!

I love promoting sustainability and I am looking forward to more workshops and talks this month. Next zero waste events are on the 23th and 24th of May, read more about them here and here, both event are in Aalborg, Denmark.

Hello everyone! Every since I listened to the wonderful tunes of Kathryn from Going Zero Waste’s hit song “Love A Lonely Banana” I have been wanting to share this post with you. Slow process, yes. I made a post last year about how I utilise over-ripe fruit, and I thought this was relevant again. Food waste is always relevant, read the post here btw. But one of my favourite ways to use fruit that is on the verge of going bad is making cake, surprise. Make it look extra fancy by making one vanilla banana dough and one chocolate banana dough, easy peasy. There is really no recipe to it because it is so easy, just mix flour, blended banana, whatever plant or nut milk you may have laying around, sugar and sass (by sass I mean vanilla extract, chocolate or whatever). Bake and let cool, bam cake. I usually eat a slice with peanut butter on top and it is bomb.

Hello everybody! I hope you have been following me elsewhere, because the blog has been on vacation, literally. I went to Tuscany last week and returned home yesterday. Of course I managed to get some instagram posts and a single video through, but other than that the updates have been sparse. During my week in Tuscany, I went to a small, but awesome, Farmer’s Market in Sansepolcro, not far from where I lived. I brought canvas bags from home, because always, and got tons of delicious fresh greens. If you are more interested in what I ate during my trip, check out the video below!
