One of our real issues at cinder + salt is fabric scrap. When we say we’re zero waste, we mean it, which means we have a lot of unusable textiles we need to find a responsible reiteration for.

What do I love about Costa Rica? You mean besides the biodiversity of plants and animals, the abundance of wildlife, the towering jungles, the misty volcano peaks, the warm and ferocious seas, the fresh fruit begging to be plucked and savored from any number of trees...
In the early 2000s I had learned that my local recycling service did not accept #5 plastics, so if a bottle cap was left on the bottle it came on, the workers were instructed to cut off the bottle top, or throw away the whole thing, sendinglots of recyclable plastic in the incinerator. So, I started saving the bottle caps until I could find a way to responsibly recycle them.
