This might be controversial, but PLEASE bring back plastic bags. I walk, I run, I bike, and I bus, everywhere. I have the carbon footprint of Stuart Little. I bought the water bottles, I bought the metal straws, I bought the reusable bags. EYE HAVE SUFFERED!
If I go to the grocery store and end up buying more than my bags can carry, I should be able to get a FREE plastic bag that I can carry my groceries in. Not a paper bag, with no damn handles, that disintegrates in a little bit of rain. I need a plastic bag that I can put in my bathroom trash can, make a makeshift greenhouse for my plants, to pick up something the cat threw up, and to put wet clothes in at the beach. There is NOTHING single use about plastic bags. Even if I use a plastic produce bag, I'm using it to freeze half a loaf of bread or to save food with inexplicable packaging (bacon or the microgreens from whole foods).
Now PAPER BAGS!!!! Those are single use! Those are the real enemy. Paper bags are good for when your roommate randomly decides to start composting but doesn't know how, so food scraps just rot and seep all over your kitchen counter. Paper bags are good for wrapping books and pretending that your book is suddenly more safe now than it was before. Paper bags are good for carrying your recycling downstairs, except there's so much recycling, and so little BAG, that it tears on the way down and you're picking up 30 cans of beer, with 30 little sips still in them, like a FOOL!
This honestly applies to most paper "replacements". Paper straws are useless halfway through the damn drink, but that's a post for another day. At the end of the day, I will bathe the oil spill ducks in Dawn dish soap myself, just please, let's get back to being serious. I'm honestly weary of what paper product I'll have to pretend is useful next 😭

I've been wanting to do this for yearrrrs. Finally. FINALLYYY.
It doesn't stick to glass, but it does stick to itself.
100% cotton fabric, prewash and dry.
Cut with a shearing scissors to prevent fraying. (Or hem.)
I opted for a 1:1:1 ratio of beeswax, coconut oil, and pine resin. Double boiler to melt.
Apply less and layer the wax as needed.
Mm... Spreading with a spoon did not work as well as a silicone brush.
Iron under parchment paper to spread + seal. (Or bake at 200⁰ F briefly.)
Hottt water + soap for clean up (hands, utensils, etc.)
Cold water to clean the cloths, as needed.
*A steamer can take out any wax mix spills on the floor. (We listen, and we don't judge )
I love it. It made my kitchen smell like pine and propolis.

*Native* Seed B*mbs.
The local wildlife will love you for it.
TLDR: Mix native seeds with soil, clay, and water, forming them into balls and then letting them dry.
Long form:
Native wildflower seeds, compost, clay (powder or clay soil), and water.
Mix Ingredients: Combine the clay and compost in a bowl, ensuring a 3:1 ratio of clay to compost.
Gradually add water while mixing, aiming for a dough-like consistency.
Add Seeds: Incorporate the native wildflower seeds into the mixture.
Form Balls: Pinch off small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls, roughly 1-inch in diameter.
Dry and Store: Place the seed balls on a flat surface to dry for 24-48 hours in a cool, shady place. Store the dried balls in a cardboard box until ready to plant.
Distribute: Scatter the seed balls in your desired planting area.
