Great idea but how do they collect the pits from people?

azurefairy.bsky.social•28 days ago

None of those avos look like they have turned. I just see a tub of guacamole

I've made pain reliever from avocado pits. This is awesome!

Avocados are a super food in a litany of ways BUT I did not know you can make a pain reliver from them.

Please do tell how you went about that? I presume it is some base in the avocado oil.

Grate the pits, place in jar, cover with rubbing alcohol. Store in dark warm place. Shake daily for a few days, strain and put in spray or shaker bottle.

Thank you!

(Eyeballs expired avocados on counter right now 👀)

Biofase the company manufacturing this type of cutlery in its promotion article says its products are the same price as plastics.
We could all start making a change by requesting our favourite vendors not to include plastic cutlery in our orders especially if eating at home. #lessplastic

Very nice! Avocados are so useful and tasty!

Superfood and super in other ways too!

It's cool and I support sustainability, but seriously, how much avocado waste could there possibly be?

courtk.bsky.social•32 days ago

This is pretty amazing.

Right?

There are a good many food wastes that can be used for biodegradable bioplastic.

I do not understand why we have the prevalence of fossil fuel based plastics when we have bioplastic options that make use of food waste.

Not all bioplastics are biodegradable but there enough out there that are to put a dent in things.
