#Redundancy in #shoes because materials will crumble is taken as 'just one of those things'. It doesn't need to be. Shoes used to last so long they could be inherited! #Hiking #boots lasted decades. #Cobblers made #repairs. #ThrowAway is seen as part of our society now because many have been conditioned to accept it. It has to stop. This isn't even just a #fastfashion issue. Even expensive goods are designed to rot. #eco #environment #StopWaste

Ditch the single-use coffee cups! Borrow an OKAPI stainless steel or glass cup with a silicone lid and then return it for washing. To kick-start usage in Alameda, OKAPI is hosting a Free Coffee Day at four participating cafés for customers who download the app and join.

Love the Too Good To Go app. Great discounts and feeling good about rescuing food that otherwise would be thrown out. Just picked up a pound of premium whole bean coffee and a dozen donuts at a second spot for a total of $12!

Great initiate by Sydney-based bicycle recycler Pete Shmigel who is collecting hundreds of abandoned share #bikes from the city's streets to keep them from going into landfill.

@Snoro There is no such thing as Green Racing Cars ... just another attempt to prolong this insane waste of resources and continuation of unnecessary pollution to benefit the few and hurting the many. #StopRacing #StopWaste #GreenWashing

Here's my challenge to you:

Don't buy that beverage in a plastic bottle. Choose a glass bottle or aluminum can.

SMALL changes for the BIG win!!
