An everyday ethical challenge is keeping textiles out of the trash. Textile disposal is environmentally damaging and costly—so much so that the City of Vancouver has urged residents to take a “zero waste” approach to textiles. Unfortunately, that isn’t easy…

…This ‘zine offers one an option for repurposing rags and textile pieces after reuse and repair options have been exhausted. To kick off a series of ‘zines about practices of everyday ethics, making yoga bolsters or dog beds is presented here as a system of managing textile waste. Through this “practice”, you can put textile scraps into continual use and reuse. If you learned to use a blue bin, you can learn to make yoga bolsters and dog beds!”

Yoga Bolsters & Dog Beds, the first ‘zine in the series Practices of Everyday Ethics, was created for the outdoor event, Fairview Eco-Gathering in Vancouver, Canada (August, 2022).

Practices of Everyday Ethics: Yoga Bolsters and Dog Beds (open cover)
A how-to ‘zine with a colouring book cover.
A woman in black yoga tights and a short sleeved printed shirt tightly clutches  to her chest a dark blue fabric yoga bolster. She has a very excited expression. Her glasses have white "cat eye" frames. Her multi-coloured hair is pulled back from face. The setting is an urban street in summer. There is a man behind her who is repairing a bicycle.
Tara loves the handmade yoga bolster that she won in the Eco-gathering draw.
