109 | Embracing Low Waste Lifestyle with Aline's Out of the Box EcoStore

Have you ever considered how much waste we're generating? That's the question that sparked Aline's journey to sustainable living. After relocating from France to the US, she became painfully aware of the waste her family was producing and decided to make a change. Aline's story serves as a critical reminder of the impact we are making on the environment and how we can start reducing our waste today.

Aline took her love for sustainability and transformed it into a business, Out of the Box EcoStore, designed to make low waste living more accessible. Her unique concept of a mobile store aims to reduce waste on a larger scale, while also providing practical tips on how we can reduce waste in our homes. Aline shares how her childhood memories played a significant role in adopting a low waste lifestyle and reflects on how reuse and repurpose should replace our disposable mindset.

From adopting an eco-conception mindset to composting and recycling, Aline lays out the path to sustainable living. She compares adopting these practices to starting a new diet, emphasizing the importance of motivation, setting small goals, consistent action, and rewards. Out of the Box EcoStore offers services such as local delivery, refill parties, and consulting, all geared towards making sustainable living easier for us all. Now is the perfect time to start making changes and join the cause for a more sustainable future.

Yogurt recipe:

Ingredients:

1 plain Greek yogurt

2 qt.

whole milk

Instructions:

Pour milk into a 6-quart Instant Pot and lock lid. Press the Yogurt setting until it reads “boil”.

Remove inner pot and let the milk cool down or cool it in an ice bath to between 90° and 110°, checking frequently with an instant read thermometer.

Once milk is 90° to 110°, place Greek yogurt in a medium bowl, then remove about a cup of milk and whisk into yogurt. Whisk yogurt mixture back into Instant Pot until fully incorporated, then lock lid and press the Yogurt setting to Normal for 8 to 12 hours. 12 hours will make a thicker yogurt.

Remove lid and transfer yogurt to clean containers. Chill until completely set, and store in the fridge. I eat them the next day and keep them in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
