My first ecobrick !
Austin has some of the best recycling programs in the country, but I've started to take inventory of the non-recyclable waste (packaging!! styrofoam!!) that cycles through our household and ultimately ends up in the landfill.
On a recent trip, Brandon and I consciously collected every single piece of non-paper waste we used just to visually see our role as consumers in the waste cycle. It's kind of nuts the amount of shrink-wrap and seals and stickers and clips and strings and rubber bands and packaging within packaging the majority of things from a store have.
Anyways, this was really fun to make; it was empowering to feel like I can make my own building materials and when I make my couch, boat, shed it is OVER for corporate America 😤
