Colleges everywhere are closing early for the semester, which means students will be leaving behind all sorts of living essentials behind. This usually happens at the end of every semester anyway, but now is definitely the time to take value of others’ waste.
On top of the fact that many people will be going without pay, panic buying has left many people without essentials. Here’s how to make it by with what you have.
Good places to dumpster dive for food:
Small grocery stores
Bakeries
Donut shops
Sandwich shops that bake their own bread
Dollar stores
Pharmacies
Low waste DIY essentials:
Make your own toothpaste
(How to) Make Your Own Toothpaste
Make your own deodorant
A zero waste deodorant with only 3 ingredients
Make your own lye, which is essential for soap making, can be used to unclog drains, and can be used as a disinfectant:

Toilet paper alternative in a pinch
Of course these recipes aren’t the only way to make your own hygiene essentials (you might not have all the ingredients or it might not work for you personally) so absolutely do your own research to find what you can save on in these tough times. And last, but most importantly, now it is more vital than ever to connect with your community. Together you are a stronger force in demanding that your needs are met and you have access to vital, life-saving resources.

Coincidentally I was looking at that toilet paper one about two days before the whole toilet paper hoarding thing began going down here. I had a spare sheet, so we are now equipped with many many fabric wipes. I already make my own deodorant (with only 2 ingredients ;) ) But I’m only just beginning to plant up my garden as a food forest, so I would have been better prepared if it had happened next year!
