Sustain-the-stain - Sustain The Stain

Let's just take a second to appreciate..

Hot beverages.. 😩

i love this.

Loving someone to the point of idiocy, where all rational thought goes out the window when you see them. Because you know that even if you know nothing except that you love them, that's enough.

I can't fathom how utterly selfish you have to be to get rid of an animal's needed function to survive comfortably just because, "I don't want my house to be ruined." This should be considered animal abuse and I'm so glad people are now bringing light to this.

I legit can’t fathom why declawing is still legal. Why is it still legal to amputate part of an animal’s toes just because humans get annoyed with a natural behavior that is so deeply ingrained that it continues even after they’re removed? Declawing causes chronic pain, behavior issues, and disrupts natural behaviors. And because someone always gives the “hurr durr but what if there’s a medical reason” let me explain. Declawing is NOT the same as a toe amputation. Banning declawing doesn’t ban toe amputations. Declawing is an elective procedure that removes all the front (and sometimes all the back) distal most part of the toes. Toe amputations remove diseased tissue/bone. There’s a huge difference between taking off a toe (or toes) because they’re growing a tumor and amputating bones for human convenience.  

I mean we can all agree, right?

Me: Yeah, I don't really understand how people develop celebrity crushes like they can't even acknowledge that you exis-

Also me when Hozier: I love you so much, I'd do anything for you, let us move into an old house in the middle of the woods where we care for the woodland creatures and fae whilst we sing together in harmony and explore the places that nature has reclaimed and did I mention that I love you so much and that you're just perfect in every way?

everyday, I wake up, and my first thought; "Will I ever love other music artists as I love Hozier?

go support this person!!

SUSTAINABILITY HACKS THAT ANYONE CAN DO EASILY

- stop using paper towels. buy a swedish dishcloth instead and/or un-paper towels or just cut up old clothing to make rags if you can’t afford to buy those

- stop purchasing most cleaning products! i rarely buy cleaning products anymore. what i do is i dilute 3 parts water and 1 part white vinegar and use that to clean most of my surfaces and floors and even the sink, toilet, and shower! i usually put that in a spray bottle and it makes life easier

- stop buying most things new, unless its absolutely essential: things like toothbrush, socks, and underwear usually have to be bought new and my advice for you is choose a more sustainable option meaning maybe invest in higher quality socks and undergarments that last longer, buy from a company that uses sustainable materials and pays their workers a living wage, etc. Bamboo toothbrushes are also an option, they are much better for the earth. but the most important thing is to use what you already have first!

- buy things in bulk when/if possible. for example, i buy bar shampoo and conditioner as well as bar dish soap from a specific company i adore online. what i do is i usually stock up on these items and buy multiple at once to last me 6 months - 1 year instead of ordering multiple times continuously. buying things in bulk is often also cheaper – especially items that are non perishable! it is less packaging waste a lot of the time and can be used to refill your containers for certain items. 

- if you need something specific, check facebook marketplace, thrift shops, depop, ebay, and see if you can find it secondhand first. even buying something brand new from a sustainable company isn’t always the most sustainable option. using something already made that someone else doesn’t need anymore is more sustainable than buying a brand new one

- do things digitally! send online invites, submit hw online (if its an option), buy digital copies of books instead of hardcopies, find required textbook PDFs online instead of buying the physical copy

- buy secondhand gifts! again, through thrift-shops or online, avoid one time gifts like balloons, maybe get a secondhand book from an online website or the thrift shop, if you know they collect (x) items, find them online if you can! or maybe they would appreciate a belt? perhaps a watch, or an antique clock? or even a nice pair of wool socks!

-invest in a bidet attachment. these can be attached to your current toilet and are around $40 online, and then you may even be able to install them yourself if you look at youtube videos (its not hard at all) or hire someone to install them! saves so much toilet paper

- FIX THINGS. REPAIR ITEMS AND CLOTHING. don’t throw things out when they’re broken or ripped. try fixing them first

- recycle your (worthless) electronics, you can do this at bestbuy, microcenter, and other places. things like smart watches that are dead, old/broken phones and computers, cords, reusable batteries etc. make sure to call ahead and ask if they will take that certain item – my microcenter store takes everything except for very old monitors and tvs and lithium batteries

- SELL YOUR CLOTHES/OTHER ITEMS! did you know most of the things donated at thrift shops end up in a landfill anyway? if you have stuff worth selling, you should sell them! if they aren’t worth selling, try seeing if a friend or family member would like them for free. posting on fb marketplace for free can also work – sometimes people will come pick it up on the same day! if all else fails, repurpose it into a rag for cleaning or something else!

- buy less overall. this is one sure way to be more sustainable. i care about each and every single item that i own and before buying something else, i ask myself if i truly would want it or if its just an impulse buy. i’ve gotten to the point now after many years where upwards of 50% of my closet is thrifted/secondhand, but this did not happen overnight!
