My Zero Waste Store, 25 S El Molino Ave, Pasadena, CA 91101

Definitely admire the goal of this store – to reduce the use of single use plastics and promote a more sustainable lifestyle. You can bring your own containers for refills of shampoo, lotions, sunscreen, laundry detergent, sunscreen, sunglasses, etc. They also have things for storage, tumblers, reusable towels, compost bins, pantry/food (rice, beans, coffee, tea, nuts), health and beauty (e.g., soap, deodorant), pets (even pet food), babies, and lots of menstrual cups.

They had lots of sustainable products I hadn’t seen before and some I had seen (e.g., Stasher). Wish the sustainable products were cuter.

My picks:

Recycled microfiber cloths set of 3 ($8.99)

Last Round reusable makeup remover pads ($16): 7 pads in a case, seems to be the retail price, replaces cotton pads. Danish design.

Marley’s UnPaper Towels ($16): replaces paper towels

I noticed the store usually looks dark but that’s probably because they’re conserving energy.

This video is currently on the trending page, so some of you may have already seen it, but it is definitely a valuable one to check out.

It discusses how the majority of returns very quickly end up in landfills, with very little attempt to resell perfectly good/unused items because it costs the corporation more money.

Hoping people become more conscious consumers, and hope this can encourage people to only buy things they fully intend to use (instead of buying multiple sizes of an item online to try on), because unfortunately, these items are not being sold to another customer who will want it.

I'm sharing this on my cosplay blog because thanks to cosplay I have started to learn more about what goes into making clothing, how to repair clothing and how to upcycle thrifted items, not only into cosplays but into casual clothes I'm excited to wear. I hope that with more people aware of this, we can start reducing the amount of products ending up in landfills. Treasure the things you own and reduce the amount of things you buy new as much as you can!! 🙏🙏🙏

Found a very cool pastel cat sweater at the bins but I have literally nothing that matches it well, so I always struggle to make outfits with it lol

theres definitely like. in my fantasy Earth w the varients of people from my last rb. tailoring and custom clothing are way more commonplace, even going into the modern era post industrial revolutions. theres just too many ways people look, too many individual ways to Be. most places will have quite a few tailors and sewers and dressmakers, all easy to find and more affordable since demand is generally higher. clothing that fits and has the right spaces for your tails and wings and horns and arms and everything is a Need in that world, not a luxury. and sewing and altering and making patterns and drafting clothing that works and looks and feels nice is hard!!!!! custom clothing is accesible and normal in my little fantasy world

I think RDR2 is a better open world experience than Elden Ring because Elden Ring leans a little too much into the player happening to stumble across things.  there’s something to be said about a game that is constantly telling the player where to go being too much, but Elden Ring ends up being the complete opposite where it points you in the right direction and tells you nothing else.  side quests are very hard to do because NPCs just fuck off to who knows where.�� are they optional?  yes.  should the player have to comb the entire map to figure out the next step in a questline because there’s no way of knowing where - or who - they’re supposed to meet next?  I certainly wasn’t a fan of it.

I just bought earbuds off of a site I've never heard of that's been in operation for 3 years and at a suspiciously low price + free shipping ! I also used a 10minutemail address that will expire in a few minutes so that there would be no way for me to check up on my order ! Yippee ! Surely nothing can go wrong !

Results of Science -- Victor can Copypasto both animal treats and herbalism potions. . .but NOT Smiler's Chatterbots. The only option that comes up on them is "Inferniate." Seems like those will have to be made by hand. Still, two out of three isn't bad, and I had Victor spend quite a lot of time Copypastoing the treats and the potions to help with filling up the shelves.

Meanwhile, downstairs, Alice was continuing her adventures into milk processing with flavored milks (both single bottles and whole crates of chocolate milk), while Smiler started getting their apothecary on! As they were new to the skill and only had a limited number of ingredients on them, they ended up spamming the Synthetic Food Tablets. The animation for actually making the tablets is a little weirdly glitchy at the end (for some reason, Smiler kept turning around and facing the wrong way to react to the final shower of sparks), but it produces a nice-looking product -- I like that these bottles have proper Simlish labels! Great work, Simsonian, seriously.

Anyway -- production continued as the day wore on (occasionally naked, as you can see) -- Smiler made a few more tablets of synthetic food; Alice continued making flavored milks and various sauces; and Victor Copypastoed his way into being a Virtuoso spellcaster! :D I promptly got him the Insightful Eye (increasing experimenting and practicing speeds), Knowledge Is Magic (he reads and does things on the computer faster, and gets magical XP from them), and Frugal Combination (when he makes potions, all ingredients may not be consumed) perks, and let him take a break with a nice Deliciosoed plate of mac and cheese. :D This store is already profitable and we haven't even opened yet!

However, all that copying and pasting had left Victor feeling a bit charged up, so I figured it was time for him to change tactics and do something else -- namely, make custard! I THOUGHT he was going to go downstairs to do that, but nope, he chose to use the employee break room instead. I was initially annoyed until I discovered that making custard doesn't require a Sim to use the stove -- the stuff is just poured straight into the jar. So Victor wasn't about to go wandering up and down stairs in that way that Sims do when the AI gets confused about what activities should happen where (like when they decide to use a sink on an entirely different floor to wash their hands after using the bathroom). I decided I was fine with that and kept having him make custard...

Working as a cashier makes this even worse. I see carts that have like enough ingredients for one or maybe two dinners costing $100+ and its almost all generic brand and non organic produce and its insane.

idk how anyone can look at how expensive fast food has gotten and think we're doing okay
