Attempting to Grow an Indoor Herb Garden

July 6, 2018 / thebetterplanetproject / 3 Comments

I have wanted to grow an indoor herb garden for a long time. Fresh, practically free herbs at the ready without packaging waste or transportation emissions? What’s not to love? After doing a little research online, it seemed like a snap. “I can totally grow stuff,” I thought, “what could go wrong?” A lot, it … Continue reading Attempting to Grow an Indoor Herb Garden

Hard to believe it's not only the last month of the year, but also the last month of the decade!! December also marks the end of my year-long journey to build a better planet. This month, I'll be focusing on how to make the holidays more ethical, more sustainable, less wasteful, and more fun. I want to enjoy spending time with loved ones this month, but I want to do it in a way that's good for the planet. What do you do to make the holidays more sustainable?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #sustainableholidays #zerowastechristmas #zerowasteholidays #ecoholidays #sustainableliving #reducewaste #ecoliving #holidaytraditions #lowwasteliving #lowwaste #consciousconsumerism #sustainablefortheholidays #lowimpactliving #mindfulconsumption #reducewaste #sustainable #minimalchristmas #simplechristmas #consciousholidays #mindfulholidays #savetheplanet
No Black Friday shopping over here. Just sleeping in, decorating the Christmas tree, and relaxing at the end of what’s been a crazy busy month. Hope you’re enjoying the weekend ☕️ . . . . #takebackblackfriday #greenfriday #nospendday #buynothingday #thanksgivingweekend #cozyholidays #hygge #consciousculture #simpleliving #minimalisthome #sustainablehome #consciousculture #sustainability #betterplanetproject #intentionalliving #sustainableliving #ethicalliving #consciousconsumer #consciousliving #slowliving #ethicallifestyle #onlywhatyouneed @ethicalinfluencers
Eating local, vegan, and gluten-free for lunch today. Gluten-free is unfortunately a requirement for me, but I enjoy eating local and vegetarian/vegan whenever possible to support local business and reduce my carbon footprint! . . . . #eatlocal #eatmoreveggies #gomeatless #flexitarian #consciouscarnivore #strongcommunities #community #localculture #buildingcommunities #consciousculture #bettertogether #betterplanetproject #intentionalliving #sustainableliving #ethicalliving #consciousconsumer #consciousliving #slowliving #ethicallifestyle #ethicalblogger #igramethical @ethicalinfluencers
Since I’m still relatively new to town, I love exploring my surroundings. There’s a corner cafe I didn’t know was there, one of those micro libraries, and a cool mural on the side of a building hadn’t seen before. . Whether you’re new in town or a long-time resident, what have you discovered in your community lately? . . . . #eatlocal #shoplocal #shopsmall #strongcommunities #community #localculture #buildingcommunities #consciousculture #bettertogether #betterplanetproject #intentionalliving #sustainableliving #ethicalliving #consciousconsumer #consciousliving #slowliving #ethicallifestyle #ethicalblogger #igramethical @ethicalinfluencers
I actually debated posting this quote because its author is not someone whose views I necessarily agree with, but on this point we do agree: voting is important, no matter who/what you are casting your ballot for. Plus, isn’t finding common ground also an important part of building a community? As human beings, we are more similar than we are different, and I think we could all benefit from reminding ourselves of that fact.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Are you voting today?!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #vote #electionday #rockthevote #strongertogether #inspirationalquotes #motivationalquotes #strongcommunities #buildingcommunities #consciousculture #bettertogether #betterplanetproject #intentionalliving #sustainableliving #ethicalliving #consciousconsumer #consciousliving #slowliving #ethicallifestyle #ethicalblogger #igramethical @ethicalinfluencers
Over the weekend, I picked up some books on the subject of “community” from my local library (the ultimate community institution). I’m excited to dive into these! . . . . #community #strongcommunities #buildingcommunities #whatimreading #libraryhaul #strongertogether #discoverunder1k #sustainability #betterplanetproject #intentionalliving #sustainableliving #ethicalliving #consciousconsumer #consciousliving #slowliving #ethicallifestyle #ethicalblogger #igramethical @ethicalinfluencers
