Today marks the start of @donatenyc x @strongestnyc #refashion week NYC! This week celebrates #secondhand and #sustainablefashion in NYC. After looking at all of the events, I do have to admit a favorite 🤫 it's the @zerowastenycworkshop event on #zerowaste fashion and beauty coming up on Tuesday, February 25th. Are you attending #refashionweeknyc this year? Will I see you there?! #zerowastebeauty #zerowastefashion

February 14th marks #valentinesday (and #galentinesday, too!) and while it is a day to show some extra love to special folks in your life, it can also be incredibly wasteful. Some flowers are imported from another country and/or do they travel from hundreds of miles across the country to your florist. Bouquets of flowers are usually purchased for the occasion and will last for a few days until they are thrown in the trash, instead of composted upcycled into a dried floral arrangement. Floral arrangements at venues are often used just for the day of an event and then thrown away afterward while they're still in great condition. But there are companies like @repeatroses working to transform this wasteful cycle ♻️ they #repurpose event flowers and send them to people to put a smile on their faces. They also sell fresh bouquets and source #locallygrown floral whenever possible! Visit @repeatroses for more info and considering supporting a company like theirs working toward #zerowaste 💚 #notsponsored #zerowasteholidays #zerowastevalentines

There are so many ways you can #upcycle and #repurpose old shirts! I had cut some of these shirts to be used for cleaning rags in my apartment, but they also serve pretty well as cushions for my glass kitchenware like my mason jars. What are other creative ways to reuse your shirts you no longer wear? #reducereuserecycle #upcycled #zerowaste

Over the past two years I have been documenting small steps #goingzerowaste and it's been exciting to see my progress and enlightening to see what challenges and barriers exist in my daily life. I shared a new blog post (linked in my profile) of the goals I set for 2020 now that I've moved to a new apartment and have the space to do some things I didn't accomplish last year. Hold me accountable! What #lowimpactliving goals have you set for the year? #zerowaste #bulletjournal

Is there a #climathon event taking place near you? This February 20, NYC will have our very own event consisting of an innovation workshop and hackathon with an interdisciplinary audience. Join me and many others determined to tackle the city's pressing #climatechange challenges and present our green solutions! Winners could receive a monetary prize or follow-up convos with city officials to take these proposed solutions forward--how cool is that?! I hope to see you there! Visit https://bit.ly/2H6XZOJ for tickets for the NYC event and DM if you plan to attend for a discount code! And for everyone else outside of NYC, visit the @globalclimathon website to see if there's an event taking place in your city next! 🌏

I'm really digging this muted pink + moss green color combo! Rocking my new @pelacase, the ever-so-stylish #compostable phone case (which I recently is backyard compostable) or can be composted if your city's compost facility accepts #bioplastic. I bought my first @pelacase a few years back after getting sick of what seemed to be a myriad selection of #plastic cases that were of crappy quality 🤨 since my first purchase I haven't looked back! I have been working to be a #consciousconsumer and aim to 1) buy only what I need (like when my old case breaks) and 2) support brands doing good - I love that they raise money with @1percentftp and to partner charities. BTW - this is #notsponsored, just a big fan of #companiesthatcare 💚 #pelacase #pelavision
