How To: Zero Waste at Music Festivals

  It’s festival season and from my experience, music festivals and trash go hand in hand. Don’t get me wrong, the people that organize music festivals are definitely working towards making them more sustainable (there are now water refill stations, compostable dishware and flatware for food, composting to name a few innovations)… but whenever you gather thousands of people somewhere, there will probably…

Our balcony (Yes, balcony) overlooks the Eiffel Tower. I just ate Organic cheese. I’m dreaming. BUT… and there…

Zero Waste Travel Kit

Traveling makes me think of the section in the pharmacy filled with mini-versions of conventional hygiene products at escalated prices. When I used to use them, I would settle for a shampoo that I didn’t really like, a deodorant that I would inevitably toss or forget about, and some other tiny supplies that would just be thrown out after my…

How To: Zero Waste Music Festivals

I wore many hats this past week at Lollapalooza, both literally and figuratively, as the driver, unofficial photographer, and girlfriend of the bass player of the Brooklyn based rock band Beast Patrol. While the starstruck, gape-mouthed, giddy side of me was euphoric throughout the entire week, the rational, critical side was constantly bombarding me with reminders of how insanely wasteful these…
