Hello trash obsessed friends!
I hope you had a fantastic Plastic Free July and have started freeing yourself of plastic and disposable items (moved to an organic farm in a place where they don’t have wifi, and became a true zero waster, 100% DYI-er, ‘living off love and fresh water’ as we say in French – vivre d’amour et d’eau fraîche, en français dans le texte).
