Climate Quick Tip: Forgot the Leftover Kale? Compost It! Anything organic that can't be consumed can be composted and used to nourish your garden and start the cycle over again. Use a countertop composter to turn all of your food waste and scraps into nutrient-rich fertilizer. Less waste, more plant-friendly soil. Composting saves garbage waste and creates good garden fertilizer. Bluedot loves the Lomi, available in our Marketplace.

Climate Quick Tip: Use a Bottle and/or Travel Mug Bottle-filling stations are becoming more available, and your local coffee shop is probably happy to fill your mug. Avoid single-use bottles and cups, and, if you like fizzy drinks, get yourself a SodaStream or AArke, and carry the bottle with you. Avoid single-use mugs, especially plastics. A good alternative is a SodaStream or AArke carbonator.
