Māmā takiwātanga<p>Our family committed to avoid synthetic fabrics as much as possible so that our clothing produces minimal <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/microplastics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>microplastics</span></a> when washed, and can <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/compost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>compost</span></a> when it’s worn out. Daughter and I needed more underwear. As much as I would love to purchase New Zealand made underwear, all the “sustainable” New Zealand manufacturers use a cotton-elastane blend. So for now, we wear cotton undies and singlets from The Warehouse sale bin. <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/nobuy2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nobuy2025</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/nobuyyear2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nobuyyear2025</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/sustainable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sustainable</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/fashion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fashion</span></a></p>
Māmā takiwātanga<p>Our potato plants had died down already due to our cat deciding the potato bed was a nice place to lay in the sun, so we dug it over. </p><p>8kg of potatoes, an assortment of varieties called ‘stuff that was marked down at Bunnings’. </p><p>I don’t remember what we spent on the seed potatoes, but we will put the smaller and green ones back to re-seed. We can remove potatoes from our shopping list. <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/nobuyyear2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nobuyyear2025</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/nonconsumption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nonconsumption</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/permaculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>permaculture</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gardening</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/frugal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>frugal</span></a></p>

To decide what is essential we use a traffic light list; Green=essential, like groceries; Yellow=Think carefully, like replacing clothes; Red=Don’t buy. We do have personal allowances which are exempt from this and a budget for experiences. </p><p>Three weeks in we have stopped our cycle of living week to week and are decluttering our home. <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/budgeting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>budgeting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/nonconsumption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nonconsumption</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/EcoFriendly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EcoFriendly</span></a></p>
