This past week I continued to compost and focus on improving my recycling abilities. I also completed a little project in reference to my need for a better way to clean my resealable bags. Earlier in the process I began to wash my resealable bags so I could reuse them but I ran into a obstacle, they took forever to dry and many of them began to develop an odor due to the water staying in the bags for a prolonged period of time. My solution was to construct a little "bag hanger" suspended above my kitchen sink. Seen below, All I needed was two screws, three feet of twine and a few clothes pins in order to be able to dry my resealable bags faster and much easier.
This project really allowed me to explore topics i am passionate about. The best part about my project was that it made me feel good every day! As I improved my composting abilities and the amount I was able to recycle and reuse, I began to realize that the less waste I produced, the happier I was.
I still plan on continuing this project, specifically trying to make my own cleaning products. This project also made me think about other areas of a home that could be converted into a "no-waste one, the bathroom was the first place I thought of. Making your bathroom a no-waste bathroom would have many difficulties, and would take a lot of effort but I think it could be done with the right motivation behind me.
I intend on keeping my kitchen a NO-Waste Kitchen for years to come.
Thank you for taking some time and following my journey!
