Locals in Roatan are working on zero waste and the best example was this natural bug repellant with #refills throughout the island. We found during our stay this worked the best! #eco #savethereefs #zerowaste #askthelocals (at Roatan Marine Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsRPB8Vn0z4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=oe2khotcqld2

Speaking of preventing plastic waste, I plan to mill flours on demand at the shop. I plan to keep this mill #glutenfree so you can customize your own rice, bean, or quinoa flours in bulk #packagefree. So excited to offer this!! #zerowaste #zerowasteomaha #customflour #glutenfreeflour (at Exist Green) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsO96rAHNOw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=30v9r5l30l47

A little #zerowaste market inspiration from my recent trip back to Berkeley. This market is located on a cute block with all separate little delights- fresh fish mart, cheese boutique, pizza place, plant nursery, wine shop, butcher, cafe, etc. a must see! #neighborhoodgoals (at Monterey Market) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrqRaIvHsCo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tb9dxhthn7kt

A little hint of things to come... I can’t believe I’ve been working on design and construction 🚧 of this project for a year now! So excited to show off the end product though! My contractor @bdouglasconstructionsolutions has been building some beautiful pieces from old growth pine purchased from @reclaimedenterprises stay tuned for more updates as I get closer to closing this phase out! #existgreen #reclaimedisbetter #zerowasteomaha #eco #zerowastestore (at Omaha, Nebraska)

Step 1: #plantatree 🌲 yes it looks like a dead tree but I swear to you it’s not! I’m super excited about this tree. It’s a prairie gold aspen, an aspen that thrives in Nebraska weather! Is this the opposite of paved paradise? I turned pavement into paradise! #ExistGreen #omaha #zerowasteomaha #tree🌳 (at Exist Green)

Hi everyone! Just letting you know I'm finally active over at Snapchat! You can follow me at existgreen (all one word over there!) I'll be sharing my progress on the #zerowastestore opening in Omaha over the next couple of months! I've been so busy with all the renovations and budgeting I haven't had much time to keep everyone updated but trying to get better :). #zerowaste #zerowasteomaha #existgreen #thisisomaha #ecofriendly

Can a tulip hold the mysteries of the universe? I'm in love with these tulips I planted last fall. So fun to see them pop up exactly as I had envisioned. I am in love with the seasons of Nebraska! #midwestpride #thisisnebraska #midtownomaha #dundeeomaha #tulips #tulipfestival #springtime #springflowers #mayflowers #naturephotography (at Dundee-Memorial Park, Omaha, Nebraska)

Sign up using the link in my profile (Omaha.existgreen.com) to get the scoop on when and where.

So grateful for all the friends and family that stopped out to see me at #earthdayomaha this year. Thanks to @lonelysbuxlover for snapping the pic! If you aren't following her you should! She's lives and breathes #zerowaste #zerowasteomaha (at Elmwood Park)

Craving #tea to get you through this cloudy weekend? I've recently added @theteasmith to our #zerowasteomaha map (ZeroWasteOmaha.com) This is only a fraction of the teas available to buy in bulk and put in your own container (they have so many options!). Custom blends and #organic loose leaf teas are available at this beautiful establishment. ⠀ ⠀ Makes me want to increase my tea intake!⠀ ⠀ #teastagram #teahouse #bulkteas #omahaphotographer #ecoteas #looseleafteas #zerowastetea #zerowaste #zerowastelifestyle #wastenothing (at The Tea Smith)

The Old Market Passageway in downtown Omaha is such a hidden gem. Even when the cold winter winds are howling outside, you can get a touch of greenery while feeling like you are in a Mediterranean town. ⠀ ⠀ By the way - have you checked out the #ZeroWasteOmaha map yet (ZeroWasteOmaha.com)? ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #omaha #omahaweekend #omahaphotographer #omahane #omahabound #greeneryeverywhere #plantsofinstagram #alleyways (at Old Market)

Have I told you about my love for @sustyclothing yet? They earned a spot on my #ecoconscious brand database (existgreen.com/brands) because: ⠀ ⠀ 1) they create new screen-printed shirts in Brooklyn (and #Iowa !) using gently used #thriftstorefinds,⠀ 2) they use #ecofriendly dyes to screen-print their hand-drawn designs⠀ 3) tags printed on plantable #seedpaper⠀ 4) the sayings are just awesome! I'm on the lookout for a #RecycleYourShit shirt when one in my size becomes available.⠀ 5) 20% of the proceeds go to a charity of your choice!⠀ ⠀ Support this innovative and creative brand instead of buying another boring #fastfashion T-shirt. ⠀ ⠀ Pic: @sustyclothing ⠀ ⠀ #lookgooddogood #upcycledfashion #ecofashion #sustainablefashion #consciousconsumer #ecofriendlydyes

Have you seen the new #ZeroWasteOmaha map (can be accessed via ZeroWasteOmaha.com). ⠀ ⠀ A few of us in the community (including @lonelysbuxlover) came up with the idea to compile a list of this sort for #omaha. Then, by a stroke of luck I came across @consciousbychloe 's #zerowaste PDX map. She generously let me copy her idea for Omaha and alas, our map was created. ⠀ ⠀ The map includes multiple layers which can be toggled for a simpler view. In addition to locations where you can buy essentials package-free, the map also includes repair/servicing spots, coffee shops that offer a discount if you #ditchthepapercup and #bringyourownmug, and thrift stores to find #newtoyou items. ⠀ ⠀ Take a look and let me know any feedback. It will continue to grow and evolve over time. I may also add a page to my site similar to the brand database that lists out the establishments in a sort-able fashion. If people want it, I will try to work on that!⠀ ⠀ - Leigh ⠀ ⠀ #byob #zerowasteshopping #bulkbins #ecofriendly #greenomaha #wastenothing #bethechangeyouwishtosee #bethechange (at Omaha, Nebraska)
