Solarpunk Action Week Day 2:

Today, I started some seeds! I am a little forgetful, so remembering to water can be a challenge. I found an awesome way to repurpose plastic water bottles into self-watering seed starting cups that keep the seedings watered for a week!

Essentially, you cut a plastic bottle in about half, make a small slit close to the neck of the top half of the bottle to help it fit in the other half. Turn the top upside down and poke a medium hole in the cap to allow water to flow in. Fill the top with soil, and put water in the bottom half. All you have to do is plant your seeds, make sure there’s water all the way up to the cap and stick it in a sunny window!

Another activity I did today is break down some old jeans into fabric that I can use in sewing patterns. Clothes that were in good condition were donated while ones that were more worn and would be very untempting to thrift store shoppers met their fate ✂ I looked up patterns on Pinterest using upcycled jeans and I found some for adorable bags, aprons, and pouches. I think they’ll go nicely with the scrap patterned fabric I have saved up!
