Does anyone in #NZ want a plastic free, wire free bra size 16/38D? #Sale I bought the wrong size and could return it to Australia but I’d rather find it a home here and avoid extra shipping and potentially get someone else into these fantastic bras.
Because there’s no plastic, it’s better for the wearer and the environment. Cotton fabric wicks moisture away from the body and doesn’t hold in heat. It has natural rubber for elastic and biodegradable thread. At the end of its life, the metal loops can be removed and the bra can be cut up and composted. #Eco #Compostable #sustainable #SustainableFashion

Time once again to #compost those #pumpkins
Posted on November 2, 2025 by Charles Kuffner
"You know what to do.
The City of #HoustonTx Solid Waste Management Department, in partnership with Council Member #SallieAlcorn, is excited to announce the return of the 5th Annual #PumpkinCompostDropOff Program.
Don’t toss your pumpkins in the trash, compost them instead! From October 25 through November 29, Houston residents can drop off their used or unused pumpkins at two City of Houston facilities. All collected pumpkins will be transformed into nutrient-rich compost to help grow a greener Houston.
Please remove any candles, stickers, paint, or other non-pumpkin decorations before dropping off your pumpkins.
Last year’s event was a smashing success, diverting more than 25,260 pounds of pumpkins from Houston’s landfills, making it the most successful year yet. The city hopes to break that record in 2025 and divert even more #compostable material from the landfill.
'We’re proud to see Houstonians embracing composting and taking action to reduce waste,' said Director Larius Hassen, Director of Solid Waste Management 'It’s amazing to see how something as simple as a leftover pumpkin can help grow a more sustainable Houston'
'Pumpkins are everywhere, and I love seeing them. They get me excited for Halloween and Thanksgiving. And while pumpkin season is upon us, we know it won’t last forever. When your once-glorious pumpkin is ready to be retired, don’t throw it in the trash. Take advantage of the city’s pumpkin composting initiative. Turn your pumpkin into glorious compost to be used in city parks and green spaces,' said Council Member Sallie Alcorn.
Join us in turning holiday leftovers into something good for the earth. Together, we can make Houston cleaner, greener, and more sustainable, one pumpkin at a time.

Same as last year, more or less. You may find other options – as noted before, there’s a house in my neighborhood that collects them as feed for livestock – and that’s fine, pick what works best for you. Just don’t throw ’em in the trash, there’s no need for that."
This does not mean no plastic in #housekeeping. The kitchen dustbin is lined with plastic, though when I can find them I get the corn-based #compostable.
The kitchen dustbin regularly gets wet or sticky things in it,. It is mostly filled with non-recyclable plastic films and containers from big grocery stores, and needs emptying at least once a month.
The small dustbins collect very little, except possibly the bathroom. That one may require a paper bag, too.
