In this episode of Sustainably Curious, I sit down with sustainability manager Kashika Madaan for an inspiring conversation over Brewing SustainabiliTea.We talk about what it means to live in a home where almost nothing is considered waste, where even a screw is saved, shirts last decades, and plastic boxes are reborn as planters and art.Kashika shares how growing up with field visits in CSR, getting married into a low-waste household, and her own love for plants and resin art have shaped the small, conscious choices she makes every day.This episode is full of delightful hacks and a gentle reminder that living mindfully and sustainably is possible if we start noticing the value in what we already have.We talk about:A blind-led NGO in Latur that turns old sarees into woven matsFamily heirlooms that include screws, irons, and 1980s shirts, still in useHow quick-commerce spending went from ₹25,000 to ₹3,000/monthReusing cardboard boxes, ice cream tubs, wedding invites, and beer bottlesHomemade composting using 5-liter water bottles and tea leavesMaking resin art from Jai mala, beach sand, and old packagingUsing glass bottles instead of plasticThe quiet joy of growing avocado plants and talking to money plants🌱 If you’ve ever wondered what reusability can actually look like at home, this episode will leave you smiling, and maybe even composting.📍Chapters00:00 Introduction 00:44 A Home With No Waste 01:51 Upcycled Mats and Field Learnings 06:22 The Shirt From 1988 08:56 Creative Reuse and Resin Art 13:59 Composting in Plastic Bottles 15:01 Reducing Quick Commerce Spend 20:31 Conscious Ordering and Takeaway Tricks 22:04 Wine Bottles, Avocados & Plant Joy 25:16 Easy Composting Tips for Beginners 27:53 Milk in Glass Bottles & Local Dairies 29:22 Growing Plants in Small Spaces 30:31 Talking to Plants and Cooling the Balcony
