Hi! I thought a thread would be nice where people could talk about what they are doing for the environment. I have heard of people who have found ways to produce almost no trash through composting and shopping habits and ways of consumption, though I imagine this is quite improbably for most of us. However, I am curious to learn where you may have had some successes.
I'll start: I have been starting to make my own clothes again. I buy 100% linen fabrics that don't contribute textile microplastics to the environment nor contribute to questionable clothing manufacturing processes. The linen is quite expensive, but I find that the clothes I make are roughly the same cost (not counting my labor) as anything I might purchase made with cheap synthetics and cheap labor. I eventually would like to grow my own field of flax and buy a spinning wheel and a loom, though I do not have enough property to supply all my linen needs, but it's a fun hobby to take up if nothing else.
