The Unintentional Eco-friendly Moments of Netflix’s “Wednesday”

"Wednesday" on Netflix has been trending for weeks now, but we're loving the gothic title character for some of her unexpected eco-loving moments

Ladies and gentlemen welcome to Nevermore Academy, a school that nurtures outcasts and supernatural students. Spooky and mystery shroud these teens in a vintage setting that lends itself to some unintentional eco moments…if you know where to look.

For anyone who has been a lifelong admirer of the 60s-era sitcom The Addams Family, or if Tim Burton’s Netflix version is your first encounter, “Wednesday” has had a significant impact on pop culture.

The Addams Family has delivered tongue-in-cheek commentary on the nuclear family and contemporary living, with themes that have grown with audiences since it was an ABC sitcom in the 60s.

But that’s not why the new Netflix hit is trending in our book. While the core family members (Gomez, Morticia, Wednesday, Pugsley, and Uncle Fester) live lavishly in their mansion, their old-school lifestyle includes uniform-like clothing that is repeatedly reused in scenes, rarely-used electricity in their dark, spooky house, and opting for family-friendly activities over watching TV, like Gomez and Morticia’s tango, or Wednesday and Pugsley’s “Is There a God?” game.

Bringing us back to Nevermore with all of the spookiness that comes with a supernatural school, the academy sees its students, particularly Wednesday, making unintentional green actions inspired by her family’s technology-avoiding lifestyle.

Wednesday’s Iconic Heatless Hairstyle 

Wednesday Addams’ braids may be her most recognizable feature, yet they also remind audiences of an eco-friendly decision.

Wearing a heatless hairdo results in less electricity consumption and healthier hair, and it fits in nicely with Wednesday’s old-school attitude to modern living lifestyles.

A Real Connoisseur of Less is More

Wednesday loves keeping things simple. She adorns her apartment with basic Addams necessities like a cello, typewriter, lamp, and her severed hand bestie (aka Thing), in contrast to her roommate geek-girl roommate Enid Sinclair, who prefers colors in rainbow shades and girlish frills on almost every outfit.

A Luddite Queen

Moreover, Wednesday is a Luddite queen who hates technology and the digital rubbish that comes with it. In addition to sparsely lighting rooms with single-bulb lights, sometimes candles (a hereditary Addams family habit), Wednesday (and Thing) type up notes and school assignments using a typewriter. In real life, writing notes on paper can save up to 75 kWh of power each year. Time to hail our eco-savior and Luddite queen of Nevermore.

Unusual Plant Conservancy 

The plant conservancy at Nevermore (managed by Marilyn Thornhill, played by Christina Ricci, or our ’90s Wednesday) is home to a variety of carnivorous plants and unusual blossoms.

Believe it or not, those spiky carnivorous plants can be very useful as they function as natural pest management in pots, feasting on spiders, flies, gnats, and other insects.

Not only are these plants literal living works of art, but they also prevent the spread of deadly diseases like Malaria. Big applause to their unintentional ecosystem developer!

Matching Handmade Snoods 

Oh, never forget about those tight-knit snoods! Enid Sinclair, Wednesday’s werewolf-related roommate, crochets double snoods (or cowls) for herself and Wednesday, each in the character’s distinctive color, as a visual symbol of friendship.

Not surprisingly, it has gone viral that fans are now sharing patterns and instructions for replicating the charming and comfortable item just in time for  this winter, and the onscreen gesture is starting a trend in the real world as well. 

After all, handmade, DIY products make for the best eco-friendly gifts this time of year.
