Don't get me wrong, it works great, but I still have to balance mylk cartons on top of it and they often come tumbling down!...

Lately I've been getting into zero waste and it was only fitting to share what I've started. Months ago when I went to Ikea, I bought some reusable sandwich pouches which I use for lunches.

I have a few things I do to help eliminate waste. Wether its food waste, gas or electricity. The one I chose to post for my #zerowasteweekend is my push lawn mower. I can mow at anytime during day or night, and it requires no gas, and gives off no fumes.

Last night it was getting late, I hadn’t eaten. A quick perusal of the fridge and counter revealed that although I had some excellent Judy’s vegan bread I was out of hummus. But I did have a jar of chic peas I canned a week ago when I soaked way to many to use at the time. So I got the food processo...
