Jars
I use these jars for so many things. They came with organic pasta sauce. I use them often to regrow celery and to keep things in. I keep small pieces of soap in one of them. These pieces of soap could be thrown away. Keeping them will not save the planet, and it is not expensive to buy a bar of soap. But keeping these tiny pieces honours nature and small objects we live with. Some fellow humans re-melt remaining pieces of soap to make new soap bars. I simply use them to clean the sink.
Yesterday I had a conversation with fellow humans about ways we relate with nature. Nature is too often seen as a resource pool and a collection of commodities. We were discussing relating with local nature and even the microorganisms that live in and on our bodies as a strategy to develop a different relationship with nature, that of appreciation, love and care.
