Environmentally Friendly Menstrual Products

Posted on

It’s easy to switch to reusable items like straws, bags, napkins, etc. But one thing that women have to deal with are menstrual products and which ones to use. Switching to reusable involves quite a bit of research and experimenting. But sometimes, once you make the switch, going back to disposable is sometimes no longer a wanted option. Ever switching to reusable discs, I can’t imagine myself switching back to disposable menstrual products.

The amount of waste you prevent by switching to reusable is pretty satisfying. Obviously every product here will have a life span, but they pay for themselves pretty damn quick, and most of these items are recyclable or biodegradable.

Environmentally Friendly Replacements For Your Kitchen

Posted on

Nomad Mermaid — Upgrades

Guest post written by Victoria

Posted on

My original Nomad Mermaid Mobile was put together on a really tight budget and all of my materials came from The Dollar Tree by the apartment I was ditching in order to live in my car. The windows got blocked out with windshield solar screens I cut to fit, my sleeping pad was four inches of foam I’d sewn together, and this was what I had to cook on:

My tuna can spirit burner cost me a total of $3 and a near brush with death when the blade I was using to cut the vent notches slipped and sliced my wrist too close for comfort to a vein. I decided to set a smaller can inside a bigger one to create a wind shield and it did the job well enough to boil water in the camp pot I got from my grandfather.
