I’m struggling to cut down on some of the ordinary junk that I’ve been living with for decades. Makeup is one of those things. I don’t have cases upon cases of makeup but I do have a fair amount that I need to work through before I’ll need to go out and find lower-waste alternatives, if I’m going to start living in closer alignment to my lower-waste values. And when that happens, I might need to find weird ways to recycle my old makeup containers.

Well, today I found out about this initiative called Wands for Wildlife. It’s so strange and a little hilarious but I kind of love the idea of a baby possum being groomed and rid of parasites with the help of one of my old mascara wands.
