Folklife Magazine Volume 11 (the Waste Issue) is available now on loremnotipsum.com. Another issue of the premium award-winning semiannual Island lifestyle magazine is here. Filled with trademark love and warmth, this 128-page captivating read explores the complicated idea of money plus being chock-full of so much more!
For the reusers. The reimaginers. The ones asking what’s left behind.
The Waste Volume dives into what we discard—physically, emotionally, and collectively—and what we might reclaim. It’s about the scraps, the leftovers, the things we toss out or carry with us and the quiet power in rethinking what we consider a waste.
This volume of Folklife looks at waste not just as a problem to be solved, but as a lens into how we live, what we value, and what we’re willing to let go. Inside are stories of transformation from all sorts of resilient folks, from those building new systems to those working with their hands, to those simply doing their best to tread a little lighter.
