A decade more of thoughtful living

My recent musings have been on my private Facebook page, but after some friends said they'd like to share what I have posted with their friends, I've decided to post back on this blog too.

These days, I own my own freestanding home with a garden, instead of a rental flat as I had in the past - but I feel I am quite behind with what I could do for sustainable living. I still have a herb and vegetable garden, use timers for lights and devices on chargers, have installed sensor lights, shop with reusuable shopping and produce bags, and dry my clothes on hangers on a chain..actually I still have the same chain and hangers as I did over ten years ago. But the last few years have been less about small steps and more moving towards "zero waste"; initially just reducing landfill and recycling wherever possible, then gradually becoming more mindful of the end-of-life of the products we buy today; and now considering the energy that goes into transporting "things" and running them through some kind of factory - even if they are being recycled.

We can do more. Maybe you can too?

Battery power

Since one of my resolutions is to switch all of my battery-operated appliances over to rechargeables as their alkaline batteries wear out, I bought my first batch of eneloop batteries today. Aside from the positive reviews these batteries are getting, my main reason for starting a collection was because I would love to take advantage of the solar charger that has been released in Japan. Solar powering instead of mains power, and much less battery waste, makes for much more environmentally-friendly small appliance usage.

Thoughts on present wrapping

Apparently, Christmas is a time of year when we throw away more more than usual. I've been present-wrapping for the past few hours, and not liking the look of all the wrapping paper and stickytape I'm using - even if most of the paper is re-used from previous years and some of it I may be able to save and use again. So I'm going to start looking around after Christmas for Christmas-themed fabric (hopefully on special!), and use it to make some sort of present-bags that can be used to house presents of varying sizes, and can re-used hundreds of times. Even if I only do this for presents between family members, that would hugely reduce my paper and stickytape usage, and theirs too. Not to mention saving the hours stuck on the floor trying to cut paper to size!

Worm farm success

Just over a year ago, I bought myself an ordinary 60L plastic bin and two plant pots (a small one upside down, a big one right side up). In it I put a bit of soil, a bit of newspaper, and 500 composting worms. Since then all of our fruit and vegetable scraps, including the mysterious items at the back of the crisper drawer that get forgotten and rediscovered, have gone into that plant pot, and been silently and cleanly converted into a fantastic liquid fertiliser by the worker worms within. I wish I had done this sooner; it's wonderful how much less is going to waste via our kitchen bin. We empty the bin less often without issue, because it no longer smells or attracts fruit flies even in the height of summer. The fertiliser the worms produce is more than enough to cover the regular fertilisation needs of my pot-based garden - there's enough to give away bottles to keen gardener friends too.
