we fall down, but we get up

i think i've talked much about the nuisances of the 'start' of the 21st century zero waste scene, that i will not use this post to cry over spilled milk. however, i am in a space to share about my recent battle with maintaining the rigidness of zero waste. the radical idea that you can fail in this zero waste practice, get back up, and charge forward in a rubbish-free fiery. this picture explains it all. by day i write scholarly articles on the geographies of waste and by night i slang menstrual pads (and other reusable alternatives). all along the way collecting convenience trash in my book bag, because i don't trust public recycling bins. there's irony in munching on the best of vending machine offerings while writing about the “sanitation syndrome” that states that addressing waste cannot be separated from race. my instant gratification snacks quickly become my demise. this post is a charge to start sharing more about my waste chronicles, something i stopped doing a few years ago, when i no longer lived in a quickly-gentrifying neighborhood with several grocery stores with bulk aisle. this is a re-commitment to zero waste. i won't go as far as stuffing 13 months in a mason jar. but I will start to share my trash on tuesdays. this will allow me to be more vulnerable in my process, open myself to constructive self-critique (i'm good on internet critique), and hopefully allow you to see that their is space for failure and albeit, trash, in the zero waste movement.

    I want to use this opportunity to testify of the marvelous work of Dr. Odunga and how he has helped me in curing my sickness and bringing happiness into my life. I can really vouch for Dr. Odunga in herbal treatment. I was suffering from Cervical Cancer and infected with HPV 16. I used to have unusual vaginal bleeding and painful urination. There was nothing I could do until a childhood friend introduced me to Dr. Odunga Remedies. I spoke with him and ordered his recommended medication which was delivered to me through DHL. Immediately I began using herbal medicine, and within a week I couldn’t feel any pain. It took me 2 weeks to finish the medicine and afterwards I was completely cured. I highly recommend that you order your herbal medication through Chief Dr. Odunga. Contact his email odungaspelltemple@gmail.com OR What’sApp/Call him at +2348167159012

    He is 100% reliable to help you too.

    When I found Dr. Ogedegbe I was in desperate need of bringing my ex lover back. He left me for another woman. It happened so fast and I had no say in the situation at all. He just dumped me after 3 years with no explanation. I contacted Dr Ogedegbe through his Whatsapp number and He told me what i need to do before he can help me and I did what he told me to, after I provided what he wanted, he cast a love spell to help us get back together. Shortly after he did his spell, my boyfriend started texting me again and felt horrible for what he just put me through. He said that I was the most important person in his life and he knows that now. We moved in together and he was more open to me than before and then he started spending more time with me than before. Ever since Dr Ogedegbe helped me, my partner is very stable, faithful and closer to me than before. I highly recommend Dr Ogedegbe to anyone in need of help. Email: dr.ogedegbe6@gmail.com or message him for urgent response on whatsapp via: +2348109374702
