Someone’s in the kitchen I know o o o

I have started making my own bread! A few weeks ago, Aurora and I went over to a fiend’s and he let her poke the dough of the bread he was making, to deflate it. She loved it. I had always wanted to make bread but it just seemed like too much work. It’s not [...]

Maggots or Landfill?

We have still not found a place to properly compost in Kingston. So far, when anyone comes for dinner, we send them home with all of our compost from the freezer to put in their composter. Also the building next door has green bins and does not seem to use them often so we [...]

Starting again, again.

We are now Kingston, Ontario residents. I like the city a lot but it would be much harder to do a month garbage free here.
We live in a 5 story walk up with no yard, no balcony and a flat “NO” from the landlord when we asked if we could compost or garden in the [...]

Good Bye Toronto!

The reason I haven’t posted and will not post for awhile is that we are in the midst of a move to Kingston. I will add a Trashless Kingston Page once we get settled.
I will also likely have more to talk about, as I will have to find new places to shop, ways to compost [...]

The nitty gritty

I’ve had parts of this post written since February 2008!
It is due time I finish it, especially in wake of the city strike.This is a really hard post to write because I am trying to keep this blog positive and I also don’t want to be peachy so I keep having to take out parts, [...]

Where it’s at.

I’ve update the publicity page a little bit and posted the link for the CBC TV interview Aurora and I did.
Since we completed 31 days garbage free in 2007, I have really branched out in the issues I’m dealing with on a daily basis. What I mean is that I am not so focused on [...]

Heads Up

Aurora and I will be on CBC News at 6pm tonight, talking about gardening, making your own stuff, reducing etc.
If you see it and and can recognize which part of my salad mix (in the garden) is edible and which is weeds, please let me know! Or if you are a Toronto food gardener and [...]

Help with Trashless Toronto

When I started this blog, I had high hopes for the Trashless Toronto section. What I really want is an interactive map that people can click on to see where to go to buy what they need without packaging. The problem is that I don’t have the skills or time to do it.
Do you? If [...]

Apparently I love talking about underarms-that’s trashy right?

Despite the fact that someone has asked me why I already talked about deoderant more than once, I am going to mention it again.
We have been using home-made deoderant which works really well, cuts out trash and is simple and easy to make. It’s coconut oil, baking soda and tea tree oil and or patcholi. [...]

Yummy and Yucky

Yummy
I’ve been working on the recipes section of my book. It’s been quite fun having to actually measure things out and once I have the quantities I can make the same dish exactly the same, 2 or more times in a row. Wow!
Tonight I made an amazing salad. I didn’t measure anything out so I’ll [...]
