The cool breeze that comes in every day when I open the window...
The blue sky that I see everyday feels like it is for granted...
But I realized that they were precious things that we needed to protect to enjoy them everyday.
This is the garbage we discharge every day from everything we eat and use.
To be honest, I feel like a zero-waste lifestyle is still a little d ifficult as I am so used to a convenient lifestyle instead.
But I decided to try and get involved little by little.
I will choose to think “I’m in this together” instead of “the world would not change by my little effort ”
I hope that children in our next generation could live in a world with a clear air and blue sky just like we enjoy them everyday.
My husband went grocery shopping instead, and he bought 3kg of Korean soybean paste (too much for my family! =P)
As it is too big, I shared it with my sister, and I transferred it to a glass container for longer preservation.
Press it down hard to air out.
I am going to use a dried seaweed (that is prepared without salt)
I am going to use this to replace the original cover.
The seaweed cover is meant to act as a barrier to air exposure so that soybean paste is preserved longer.
This original container seems sturdy enough, so I decided to reuse it for another way.
It looks a lot cleaner by removing the packaging stickers with a hair dryer
I was thinking about how to reuse this...
I was also thinking of buying a small kitchen trash can.
If I repurpose the reusable item, it can be a great replacement without having to buy a new one!
I made a label and put it on.
I found it more convenient as I could put it on the countertop instead of on the floor.
This has a lid so it also reduces the smell!
I can also easily bring it near the sink too.
I empty it frequently, and when not in use, I store it in my lower cabinet.
If you are a mother of a daughter, you could relate to the hairpins that are all over the place at home.
When I go through a pile of hairpins searching for what my daughter wants specifically, it becomes a mess again.
I am going to reuse the Mochi ice cream case.
It looks neat and tidy as I sort them out in this case.
I think gift-wrap ribbon is usually too good to throw away after using it once.
I am going to tie the ribbon around a cloth hanger and put hairpins on it.
It is now easy to pick, choose and store.
Rather than buying a new drawer organizer, I used many small boxes that were from various packaging.
A slightly broken ice cube tray is a perfect organizer for my earrings.
It is easy to find a pair of earrings if you put one pair in each compartment.
I keep my necklaces and bracelets in a chocolate case.
The chains are not tangled with each other as I keep one for each compartment.
Let’s repurpose the empty rolls of toilet paper and paper towels.
Roll up the wrapping paper.
Then slide in the empty roll to hold the wrapping paper instead of using a tape or rubber band.
There are no rubber band or tape marks left on the wrapping paper.
My tall boots keep bowing. How polite! =P
When I put the empty rolls of paper towel inside of my tall boots,
they add structure and keep tall boots from slouching.
I am going to use a milk carton to organize my kitchen drawer.
My kitchen drawer is not deep so I will cut the milk carton in half.
By cutting in half and putting it on top of each other, you can adjust the length.
Let’s divide the space according to the size of the drawer.
It is a perfect fit!
It is easy to find and grab whatever I need after dividing and organizing the space.
Thank you for watching my video today! =)
