31 Day Zero Waste Challenge New Years Edition

December 28, 2017 Kathryn Kellogg
A 31 Day zero waste challenge to jump start your zero waste and plastic free new years resolution from www.goingzerowaste.com #zerowaste

I am so excited to announce a huge project I've been working on. We have a 30 Day Challenge for the summer, there's one just for kids, and now there's one for for all of your New Year Resolution needs! 

That's right a 31-day challenge specifically designed to help you start implementing zero waste into your routine. 

I will be hosting the whole challenge on YouTube. If you're not already subscribed to my channel, pop on over and do that now. You'll be notified of the new videos coming out each day. 

The challenge isn't just for beginners either. During the first week, we will be covering more beginner material, but as the month progresses we'll get more in depth looking at zero waste as a whole beyond just simple swaps. 

We'll examine how many resources we're consuming, look at performing waste audits, and each day there will be a challenge for you to implement. 

Don't just dream about going zero waste, reducing your plastic, and harnessing your power as a consumer. Get out there and do it! There's no better time to commit than right now. 

Check out my introduction video and get excited for January 1!

Berkeley City Council UNANIMOUSLY passed the most comprehensive piece of municipal legislation in the US for reducing single-use disposable foodware. .
.
If you're dining in, everything must be reusable EVEN fast food restaurants will be serving on real plates!
.
.
If you need something to go and you didn't BYO, the takeout options have to be compostable and come with a 25 cent fee while theyre working on creating a program for reusable to-go containers with pick up and drop off locations citywide. .
.
I'm most excited to see the reusable to-go containers come to fruition! What do you think? would you like to see something like this implemented in your town?

Justin and I have a notebook where we write love letters to each other. 📓 This is my favorite Valentine's tradition! 🧡🧡
And, Valentine's is actually my favorite holiday, anyone else!?
.
.
Plus, it's the only holiday it's socially acceptable to express your love through terrible puns. 😏
There's no reason it has to be full of plastic and trash, I just think it's nice time and express love. .
.
I'm sending love to all of you, my family, MAMA EARTH (planting a tree for this gal which gives me life!) And of course Nala and Justin. .
.
Tonight we're going to grab some pizza, open a bottle of wine, and read our love letters! 😘😘
How are you celebrating today?

What on earth was I doing with 25 bagels!? Having a bagel party - of course. 😉🥯 I talked about buying a toddler-sized bag of bagels, but failed to mention why... 😂
.
.
This weekend @kindplanet and I hosted a zero waste event focused on women's health @amourvert in Berkeley! 
Featuring an amazing bagel bar complete with my favorite vegan cream cheese and smoked carrot lox from @plantedtablemeals
.
.
But, best of all were the conversations. We got to share our struggles overcoming hormone issues, zero waste periods (you know I love my @shethinx!), and talk about connection. We are so connected with the world around us from the products we use to the foods we eat.
.
.
I think humans often believe they operate above nature, but we, as humans, ARE nature. The first time I realized this was when I started taking control and ownership over my own health. 
Do you remember when you first realized that you felt that connection? Like you were part of nature?
.
.
This event was so special for me and I hope it's the first of many!

I got some weird looks as I loaded 25 bagels into a MASSIVE cloth bag. The looks got even weirder when I posed to take a picture with my haul. 🥯🥯🥯
Sometimes, you do kooky things when you're trying to avoid plastic. I mean this bag is the size of a toddler. 👶 I could have chosen something a little more discreet.
🙈
And, while some people may have thought I was a weirdo, I like to think a handful of people were inspired by my massive bagel bag. .
.
When you bring your own container, bags, ask for no straw and do things slightly different than society. You're bringing a little bit of awareness to those around you. .
It's good. Be different. Be kooky. 
Cause no one ever changed the world being the same as everyone else. ❤️❤️
.
.
Since this is one of the most outlandish things I've done to avoid plastic... I'm dying to know, what kooky things you've done in the name of #zerowaste?

Gathering all of my supplies for workshop weekend! I am doing two free community events and they're going to be packed! 👏👏
.
.
One is a personal care workshop where we'll make body lotion and lip balm, cleaning spray, and deodorant, and the other one we'll be making homemade bath salts. Do you want me to share the recipes in my stories?
.
.
I'm so excited to meet some of y'all in person! And, if you couldn't make it to this event I'll also be speaking  @wanderlustfest in San Francisco! I'll be giving two of my favorite talks which are How to Fight Climate Change as One Person and Zero Waste Living 101! You can head to my stories to check out the full SF line up. 🧡🧡
.
.
Hosting more community events is on my list of things to do this year, for me that means the Bay Area, or should I take things on the road?

This week, Budweiser donated clean energy from their Wind Farm in
Thunder Ranch, Oklahoma to the city of Atlanta to power Super Bowl
week and weekend. .
Thunder Ranch currently generates enough renewable
energy to cover all production of Budweiser in the U.S.
.
.
Remember last year the Super Bowl tried to achieve zero waste!?
I'm filled with so much hope and joy because I know this is just the
start. 🧡🧡🧡

#ad Which team are you on? Classic veggie burger or buffalo cauliflower burger!? Clearly asking the important questions cause whether you tune in for the football, commercials, or prefer to make snack food and watch Parks and Rec for the fifth time (like me). I've partnered with @MortonSalt to bring you a few tips to help you #EraseFoodWaste. .
.
1. put out less food than you think you need. Once you run out, only then put more food on the table 
2. make sure you've got clean food storage containers ready to go. (I actually serve my party food in glass containers with lids to make cleanup a breeze)

3. Think you'll have too many leftovers? Ask guests to bring a to-go container! 
4. to keep guacamole fresh keep a couple of avocado pits in the dip, and remember just because it turns brown doesn't mean it's gone bad. 
For more tips head to my stories. How are you preventing food waste today?

#ad The sustainbility forum yesterday was AMAZING! I learned so many things and I can't wait to write a HUGE blog post. We played this game and I lost. So can you figure it out? 3 of these facts are true one is not... - more than 5,000 people each year treat their recycling bins like wishing wells and try to recycle BOWLING BALLS. 🤦
- the largest source of microplastic pollution comes from clothing.
- Fishing nets are made of very high value plastic they are easy to recycle.
- There are no trash cans at the @wmphoenixopen because there's no trash offered on site.
.
.
.
I'm going on the sustainability tour today and hear that all of the waste is hand sorted to make sure the recycling and compost isn't contaminated! 👏👏 will be sharing it all in my stories!
