The Reuse Queen

Never forget the people who lost their lives on when a structural failure occurred on 24 April 2013 in the Savar Upazila of Dhaka District, Bangladesh, where an eight-storey commercial building called Rana Plaza collapsed. The search for the dead ended on 13 May 2013 with a death toll of 1,134. Approximately 2,500 injured people were rescued from the building. Keep asking brands, “Who Made My Clothes”.

As an organizer who wants to set realistic expectations for my clients, I love this article. This whole “pantry porn” business is distressing especially if you want to be eco-conscious and buy the things that you truly need. This article examines the historical, social and economic impacts of the perfect kitchen with the perfect pantry. This new craze is not all it’s cracked up to be.

‘Pantry porn’ makes obsessively organized kitchens a new status symbol Maybe you can’t have a designer kitchen, but you can beautify your bulk food storage.

Is the new Lomi by Pela the answer to the composting issue that eco-conscious apartment dwellers face?

For some reason, my sports watching has been taken hostage by Lomi commercials. I am usually immune to stupid commercials. But this one has me interested. First off, I am on cook. When I cook, everything goes into some pot of something that I can eat from for days. It’s a testament to my hatred of cooking for myself. So I don’t really have a great deal of scraps to worry about. But as an organizer, I am regularly in apartment homes of people who would definitely consider this product as a solution to their wanting to compost. So I decided to check it out.

Off the bat, the $499 price is off-putting. Not to mention the fact that you have to buy regularly buy the LomiPods(help to speed up the process) and charcoal refills (helps to manage the smell). But in the long run, is it worth it? The Lomi turns your food waste into plant food. Because it is portable, you can take it with you everywhere and it insulates you from outdoor predators and the pesky indoor pests like ants, fruit flies and maggots. It is a responsible way to dispose of your food waste.

However, as an apartment dweller who has a black thumb, what am I supposed to do with all of the “dirt”? When someone can answer that question for me, I might see it’s value. Decide for yourselves.

***Interesting fact: Thirty (30) million tons of surplus food (uneaten, food waste) is from individual households. (Re: ReFed)
