What garbage are you making?
SMALL STEPS #2: TAKING INVENTORY OF YOUR TRASH
What do you see in your garbage? Take a mental or physical inventory.
If you have a lot of clamshell containers from fruits and vegetables - could you find some of those same items NOT in plastic? For example, loose cucumbers (that you could put in your reusable produce bags) vs. the ones packed or wrapped in plastic.
Could you buy some condiments in glass instead of plastic bottles? Glass is recyclable plastic is rarely recycled even IF it is marked recyclable.
If you get coffee at a coffee shop- ask them if you can use your own coffee mug or sit there and have it in a porcelain cup.
Did you know:
Less than 10% of all plastic is actually recycled
Coffee cups are not recyclable because they are mixed paper and plastic from the lining.
Hot liquids and plastic (lid) = toxins
