Sustainability ❌Does Not need to look complicated or expensive 💸

And I hope that this series helps you to see that 💚

I have been practicing a zero waste (or a low-waste and minimal, more accurately) lifestyle for about 6 years now

And practicing this lifestyle has helped me save so much time, space and money!

✨Remember that:

💚 Small efforts amount to big changes over time

(Saving half a bucket of water a day might not mean much but saving it over a month would amount to 270 litres of water)

💚 Revolutions always occur in waves, with early adapters being trend-setters, which the masses eventually adapt to

(Think of how much the organic groceries market has picked up over the past decade, for example)

💚 Doing your best is always better than doing nothing!

This week’s 🌱Green Habits🌱 were focused entirely on ❌not letting resources go to waste 🗑️

🍀The repaired hanger 👩‍🔧 now easily takes the weight of lightweight clothes like shirts 👕

Fixing it with paper tape barely took me 2 minutes ⏱️

It was such a quick fix 👌 to help extend the life of a product that a ton of 🏭resources went into producing

✨Repairing is always more sustainable than replacing or recycling✨

🍀My family doesn’t use plastic bottles anymore as plastic leaches🧪 hormone-disrupting chemicals and microplastics into food and water 🍛

I made citrus Bio Enzyme🍋 using lemon and sweet lime peels in the bottles

They were perfect for this because they had a wide mouth and were air tight as well

💛If you’re new to Bio Enzyme, it’s a multi-purpose liquid made from fruit/veggie peels, jaggery and water (in a ratio of 3:1:10)

After it’s fermented for 1-3 months, you can dilute it and use it as a

Floor cleaner, pesticide, dish washing detergent, surface cleaner and more!

✨repurposing is more sustainable than recycling and replacing✨

And

✨Bio Enzymes make use of kitchen waste (fruit + veggie peels) to make excellent cleaners which also help to purify water✨

🍀The last idea of growing nutritious microgreens from groceries which have pests was actually borrowed from my mom

She does this with all whole dals and grains that are old or have pests 🌾

✨Using pested groceries for growing microgreens ensures that our farmers’ efforts and planet’s many resources don’t go to waste✨

Hope this video gave you some ideas for making more eco-friendly lifestyle choices everyday 💚

A quick recap of some 🌱Green Habits🌱 I practiced this week ✨

I always prefer 🔻reducing, 🔄reusing, repurposing & 🪡repairing over ♻️recycling because recycling is a 💧resource-intensive process

But when there is an ⏫excess amount of waste that is ❌not practically usable to me, I choose to ♻️recycle instead of sending the waste to 🗻landfills

In 🗻landfills, house waste❗️pollutes air, water, soil and severely harms animal life 🦅🐕

Thinking 💡creatively about the paper I received as part of the TSS order packaging was a fun little exercise for me :3

And I’m actually quite excited to use it as gift wrap 🎁

I hope my weekly recaps help you to make more eco-conscious choices 🌏💚

Always remember, sustainability is 🙂‍↔️not about doing things perfectly, it’s only about doing your best 💚

A little peak into some 🌱Green Habits🌱 I practiced this week ✨

🍈We had guests over at 🏠home who brought along some jackfruit (i.e. kathal)

🍈Nobody in my family had tried it before and somehow everyone disliked it.. I absolutely LOVED the fruit 😋

🍈 I loved the taste of the jackfruit seeds just as much as I did the fruit 👌

🍈Consuming the jackfruit seeds is such an easy (and tasty) zero waste hack to reduce food waste. I’m 💯% going to do it again!

💦Having more people at home also meant that more 💧filter water was used

💦Which, in turn, meant that more waste water was released🪣 from the RO filter

💦Even after mopping floors🧹quite some of the RO waste water was left so I used it as flushing water 🚽

🫙I love repurposing glass jars with lost or broken lids into 🍷glasses

🫙The production of glass is extremely ❗️resource-intensive & polluting

🫙Glass is also ❌not recyclable♻️ in many parts of India

🫙So reusing and repurposing glass as much as you can is important!

🌾Lastly, a very little amount of the groceries fell on the table while we were packing them

🌾This always happens and we usually collect it and leave it out for birds

🌾But the birds are not able to eat grains like dals so this time I decided to compost everything that was spilled instead

🌾I try to send as little as possible to landfills

⭐️Remember, sustainability 🙂‍↔️is not about being perfect, it’s about doing your best! 💚✨

A quick recap of some 🌱Green Habits🌱 I practiced this week ✨

Through these 🌿weekly recaps,
I hope to show you that practicing sustainability is simply about being 💭mindful of what we 🛍️purchase and what we toss into the 🗑️bin

It’s about respecting the multitude of our 🌏planet’s resources and 🧑‍🌾🧑‍🏭human labour that go into making everything that we use and consume 🌿

And about realising that everything we toss into the bin 🚮 is most likely to end up in ❗️landfills

You 🙂‍↔️don’t need to be perfect at it, I am definitely not either. But I do the best that I can everyday, and that’s all that we all need to do too 💚✨

💡Super Tip Tuesdays💡 is back with another episode! Today we’re talking about a little hack to help you save more water 💧

🙅‍♀️Let’s not wait for India’s water crisis to get worse before we decide to take action🙅

Every bit of water that we save amounts to large quantities at the end of each week, month and year 🗓️

❗️Green Washing❗️needs to be a thing of the past already 😫

🥤🥤Paper cups are one of our planet’s worst enemies because 🥤🥤:

😣 They require cutting down 🌳trees
😣 They are white because they are 🧪chemically bleached
😣 They are single-use. Large amounts of 🏭resources are used just for getting one use out of them
😣 Their plastic lining releases 25000+ microplastics in beverages ☕️
😣 Their plastic lining also pollutes our 🌏planet after the cups are disposed 🗑️

🛍️🛍️Woven bags have long been masquerading as cloth bags but 🛍️🛍️:

😣 They are woven out of polyester
😣 They release synthetic microfibres, which are a type of ❗️microplastic
😣 They pollute 🍃air, 💧water and 🌾land just like polythene bags do

👝👝 Brown paper bags with plastic windows 👝👝:
😣 Have a plastic lining inside of them
😣 Cannot be ❌♻️ recycled because they have a mix of: paper, soft clear plastic, hard zip-lock plastic
😣 Are actually worse than plastic packets as 100% plastic packets are at least recyclable

🏭Companies will keep making these products as long as we keep 🛍️buying them

So say 🙅‍♀️no🙅‍♂️ to them as much as you can!

💡Super Tip Tuesdays💡is a new series we’re starting, to share easy tips on sustainability 💚

🌾Roasting grains helps to prevent insect pests from occurring

🌾 Roasting gets rid of any 💧moisture that grains may have absorbed

🌾 Grains can absorb moisture during 👩‍🌾harvest, 🏭processing, 🚛transportation & 🎴packaging

🌾 Always store grains in 🫙air-tight containers to prevent them from absorbing 💧moisture from the atmosphere

According to the UN, at least ‼️25,000 individuals die 💔every single day of hunger

💚Simply taking out 5 minutes to dry roast pest-prone grains can help us all save hundreds of kilos of food from going to landfills 🗑️

It’s high time for us all to do our bit! 💚

💧जल ही जीवन है

Water is a❕limited resource without which no life can survive 🌱

Just by saving 🥦kitchen water, 🚰RO filter waste water and switching to bucket baths from 🚿showers, we can all easily save at least💧10,000 litres of water every year

🧮Calculation for shower vs bucket bath:

🪣Showers on average use 75% more water than bucket baths
🪣 I always fill up an 18L bucket to 3/4 level for a bath
🪣 Which means I use about 13.5L (18x0.75) water for baths
🪣 13.5x75% = ~23.65
🪣So I save at least 10L everyday by choosing a bucket bath over a shower

💧 Water is a limited resource that we take for granted, and we can see the repercussions of this in 🏙️ cities like Bangalore

✨ Four super simple ways to save 💧water are:

💧 Reducing the number of wash cycles per day in 🧺 your washing machine; which use ❗️60-140 litres of water in a ❗️single wash cycle. Doing so could help you save 💧💧💧3000+ litres of water every month ✨

💧 Grains, seeds and nuts should always be soaked before consuming because they have ❗️anti-nutrients like phytic acid which decrease nutrient absorption and can also cause digestive issues.

This water is very nutritious for 🌱plants and can be saved alongside water used to wash 🍎fruits and 🥕veggies. Doing so will help you save 💧💧💧90+ litres of water every month ✨

💧Saving RO waste water is crucial because it is perfectly clean water that we let go to waste. It can used to 🧹mop floors, 🍽️ wash utensils, 🚽clean bathrooms and so much more.

This can help you save 💧💧💧1000+ litres of water every month ✨

💧 50 litres of water gets used in just a five minute🚿 shower and a regular 🪣 bucket can hold no more than 18L of water

Most of us don’t need more than 2 buckets of water and most of us take a 10-15 minute long shower.. which means it is 🪣36L of water vs. 🚿100-150L of water every time we take a bath

So, every single bucket bath can help you save 💧💧💧 about 70+ liters of water ✨

💡Saving water means 💵 saving money, 🦌🦜 leaving enough clean water for other species on our 🌏planet and ♻️securing a better future for ourselves and the generations to follow

Let’s stop treating 💧water like it’s an unlimited source and let’s treat our planet’s resources with respect instead 🌏

✨ Sharing knowledge on composting is just as rewarding as the process of composting is!

We conducted a short 🌱Workshop on Composting🌱 for second-third graders at The Shri Ram School, Vasant Vihar, Delhi on National Science Day 🇮🇳🔬

We started with an interactive session 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️ on what composting is, why we should do it and this was followed by a quick demonstration

The students were then led to a composting unit, where they added kitchen waste that they had brought from their homes 🍌🥒

Carbon for the process was provided to them in the form of unbleached shredded paper 📜

They were also given an easy-to-follow handout for reference ✅

It was so amazing to see 🤩 how eco-conscious the students were, and how excited they were about the subject of sustainability ♻️

💚 DM to book a one-on-one online session 👩‍💻 or a workshop for your school, university, or office on Composting 🍂🥒

✨ Saving our planet’s resources is so easy if we just try to be more mindful of the little ways in which we use them ✨

The 4 easy ways are also applicable to our daily lives.. for example, cello tape isn’t recyclable or biodegradable while paper tape is single-use and requires the cutting down of trees. Rope is an excellent alternative to these ♻️

Eco-friendly alternatives aren’t always as difficult as they seem! Every bit of effort counts 💚✨

Pack an order of 🌾Organic Groceries with us + Story time 🙆‍♀️

I was at a family gathering when a relative started asking me questions about my sustainable business, and responded to all my answers with contempt

This wasn’t the first time that he or any other relative had done so but this time his words were harsher than usual.. it did take me some time to pick myself up after that conversation

I decided to share more about the incident in this reel to highlight the importance of being mindful of our words instead of blaming people for their reactions

P.S. the order being packed in this reel is different from the bulk order I shared details of ❌

🤔 Is glass sustainable? Or are eco-brands greenwashing everyone!? 🤯

⚠️Glass is sustainable *only if* we use it sustainably because:

✅It actually takes more energy to make glass bottles as compared to plastic bottles

✅ but glass is still considered more sustainable because plastic breaks down into toxic microplastics and leaches harmful chemicals into food and water stored in it. Glass also breaks down back into non-toxic silica

✅ Not to forget the very high amounts of energy🌡️ it takes to melt glass for the purpose of ♻️recycling it

💡As a simple funda, reusing materials is always more sustainable than recycling them

There is so much criticism, lack of understanding and rejection that one faces when they try to do something unconventional in their life.. I have also faced this but my parents’ support is the one thing that has helped me stay strong through it all

When I started out on my zero water journey about 6 years ago, there was definitely a lot of dismissal from them.. but it wasn’t ever exactly a lack of support. It came more from the lack of understanding of the difference that one person could make in the vastness of the climate crisis.

But over the years, my parents saw how I refused to budge and that it wasn’t just a ‘trend’ to me. Whenever I had the chance to live by myself, I went out of my way to live as waste-free as I possibly could.. even if it meant taking a to-and-fro 1 hour bus ride to be able to buy groceries only from zero waste stores in the UK.

My parents made an effort to understand me and today they support me in more ways than I could have ever asked for. They stand by me, offer help without my even asking for it, and tell people stories about my journey at every opportunity possible. How I wish everyone, including my parents, had had the privilege of receiving this undying, endless and unconditional love and support from their parents just like I always have.

P.S. I definitely did tear up several times through filming this reel and also while typing this caption.

As a Business Womaniya, I think it was high time for me to call out on casual sexism 👩🏽‍💼🙅🏽‍♀️

Before getting into this business I would’ve never believed that things like this would happen in the 2020s but MAN was I wrong..

I understand that some of these behaviours maybe ~innocent~ outcomes of internalised misogyny but the first step towards change is identifying wrong as wrong, don’t you think? 💚

The environment that we pollute is what we depend on for our survival 🌊🌱

Plastic has become a vital part of our everyday lives and it would be impossible for any of us to stop using it entirely. But there are several ways in which we could reduce it — if we all just worked on reducing the plastic each of us consumed, our collective impact would be massive! 💪

Remember that a lifestyle change isn’t going to be an overnight switch! It takes time and a little bit of patience 🤗

If you need help with figuring what you can do and how to go about it, please feel free to DM us 💚
