I love your lists! As far as the repairs go, I'd add don't be afraid to email the company and tell them what happened. I made a dumb mistake and left a metal spoon in my blender after using it to scrape down the sides. When I turned the blender back on, the spoon inside cracked the glass canister and ruined the blades. I emailed Vitamix and was honest about what happened, and even though I didn't have a receipt because it was a hand-me-down from someone else, they sent a replacement part for free and walked me through how to test the motor. We didn't need a whole new blender, only the part that was actually broken. My husband has also gotten small replacement parts for tools by just emailing the company.

The staple tip reminded me: At my office, the recycling is...not good. We don't have any control over the custodial vendor, and they legit put the recycling and the trash in the same big trash cans. But here's the workaround: we also hire a paper shredding service. The shredding service recycles the shredded paper which is easy for them to do because its all one material. So every piece of paper I throw away goes in the shred bin, whether it's confidential or not. At least that way it has a better chance of actually being recycled.

As far as book donations, I’ve done just about everything the thrift store, little library, and most recently realized my actual library takes in used books to sell in their little shop to provide additional profits for the library which is amazing! Our library offers so many resources past just books so I’ve been primarily dropping off there now.

I love the library, too. However, near me the Friends of the Library that runs the book sale started restricting book donations to no older than 10 years. The other library in the next town doesn’t care & excepts all books in reusable condition.

About hand drying: if you take one piece or section of paper towel and fold it in half before you dry your hands, it will dry more efficiently. That sounds weird, and sometimes you'll think the paper towel is too small or thin, but it always works!

I take a face flannel out, to dry hands on. I have a little old fashioned push hoover, in between using the electric one. I use the back of letters sent to me, that are blank, for writing to family. Free envelopes often come in junk mail, they can be reused, as can birthday card envelopes, just cross the name out. Washable kitchen roll. Agree can make more than one cup of tea, from leaves or a bag. We get free charity bags, for giving clothes to charity, when not needed they make good covers for clothes on a rail.

So many people have laughed at me for washing my recyclable items before putting them in the recycling collection bin. Guess which house does not have the stinky recycling bin. Guess which hecklers of mine were shocked when I showed them the recycling guide from our local council, especially the small paragraph requesting we wash or clean items for recycling.

With pieces of paper, envelope size and smaller, I put through the family shredder and add to the compost bin. I also shred documents with personal information (which could be stolen and used for identity fraud) through the shredder for the compost bin too. The ink may not be highly rated for composting but in my own garden it's ok.
@TheSimpleEnvironmentalist

chopsticks and/or pencils that erasers don't work to stabilize plants that need help (I use twist-ties or rubber bands, but hemp string would be more eco). Popsicle sticks could potentially work for that but might better for labeling because they have more potential to damage roots because of their width.

Toilet paper is expensive and so wasteful, so I just recently decided to mainly use bidet and old face cloths to dry. Of course our guests still get TP 😀 Switched to using powder dishwasher detergent; I use half of recommended amount, the package is cardboard and it costs a fraction of the pods. Might be obvious, but just using less of everything; toiletries, TP, detergents, cleaning supplies, water, electricity, fewer clothes, less driving. It is endless how we can save money and r esources! I've made it into a game: how little can I use or do I need the product at all?! My hubby quit using shampoo years ago and turns out it is better for our skin, and hair not to use shampoo - natural oils do the trick. I have significantly reduced, but still use shampoo 😊

With the broom thing my grandma basically mostly uses a manual vacuum cleaner, it uses a brush & roller to collect it all into one tub & it has been passed down the generations like an heirloom she’s so proud of it haha but they still sell them in stores I’ve noticed! & a neighbour with the best grass uses a manual lawn mower which they also still make!

Also the way I live zero waste for free is to swap skills with friends and help each other with stuff we’re both bad at like repairing clothes in exchange for taking her dog for a big walk that she can’t manage herself physically etc or I’ll take her recycling for her if she separates it, those eco things wouldn’t happen without these little swaps and silent agreements haha

Super duper random, but something I do that’s free is I don’t put my trash/recycling bins out every week for pick up. We only have maybe one bag per week of trash and not a ton of recycling, so I wait until it is more full to put out on the curb for pick up. I figure if the big truck has one less stop then it’s a teensy bit of gas saved? lol that’s my thinking anyway.

I love that you mentioned not carving on trees!! I don't see it often at all now (more so in the past) but when I do it kind of hurts to see it. It's a living organism and carving into its skin just seems so wrong. Your sweeping instead of leaf blowing point made me realise that leaf blowers aren't much of a thing here - at least in my part of the UK. Are there rules in the US that you have to remove leaves? Is that why leaf blowers are common?

Please do another research about recycling paper. It might be, that it is done differently in the US, but in Germany staples are no problem. The windows in the envelopes are also often out of cellulose. You can test it with a little bit of water. Does it change? Then let it in. There are only a few things, that causes problems: glue, tetrapacks and wet strength papers, like disposable kitchen towels or coffee cups, wallpaper. Please, get your information directly from a papermill, where recycling is done. And if US people are a little bit like German people they are happy to explain it to you. In Germany paper technologists are very proud of their work. So am I. I made an apprenticeship in a papermill and recycling and deinking was/is a main thing there. Please don`t share the myth, that pizza boxes are not recyclable. It seem to be, that someone brought it up and everybody is just retelling it, instead of doing own research.
