November Empties
This was an unusual haul of empties this time around, mostly because there were more cardboard packaged items in this month’s collection than plastic or glass packaged items like normal. Which I thought was interesting, I don’t know if it really means anything, is just interesting. I’ve also been thinking about doing a big summary…

Obsession: August 14
Professionally, this week was very overwhelming, I’m really hoping that after forest fire season things tone down for a bit at least, but probably we’ll just get straight into ice and winterstorm planning and the fourth wave of COVID so ugh. I’m glad to be busy and not bored, but building a department from nothing…

July Empties
This was a big month for using stuff up. Some of it makes sense, a few things I have been using since last November and some were purchases I had to make because I haven’t yet got used to having to be prepared and planning ahead to avoid using plastic/packaged products. This is a great…

April Empties
Compared to March it looks like I didn’t use anything up this month! Mostly, I just finished up some samples that I have had for several months. The nice thing about a Project Pan is that you actually do use those random things that you have accumulated over your years of purchasing. I do see…

Obsessions: April 24
I’m rounding out the Earth Week content with a themed obsessions post! From drag-tivism to my favourite shops in Ontario to access low waste products – these are a few of my favourite things.

Mid-Week Procrastination: Earth Week Edition
We’re sticking to a theme this week (which means that next week’s MWP post will be super full of fun, random stuff- hint, hint). But the ultimate Earth Week procrastination item would be to grab some shoes, a garbage bag, and a set of tongs and a container (if you live in an area where…

Earth Week: Low Waste House Cleaning
I am a fastidious house cleaner. Maybe excessively so, I just find it so much more pleasant, but it has not escaped my desire to use less plastic. I think I have made great strides here, but there are still areas I can work on. I also don’t think that there is any increased costs…

Earth Week: Low Waste Personal Care
Earth Day is this Thursday! So this week I’m going to be going through the changes that I have made and the space that I still have for growth here. Today is personal care/beauty/hygiene. This is the area that I have made the most growth in and still have the most room for growth I…

Fast Fashion Series: Introduction
If you have spent time looking at your impact on the planet you have probably heard that fast fashion is not eco-friendly or ethical. They often exploit their workers and take advantage of workers in countries with really lax labour laws were they can pay them super small sums of money for really hard and…

January Empties
Since one of my big focuses this year is transitioning more of my products to plastic-free or zero waste options. I thought that a monthly empties series could be fun. Well maybe not fun but helpful in decision making and keeping me accountable to making sustainable swaps if it is public on the internet?? This…
