Cut Down on Waste

Take reusable bags with you whenever you go shopping.

Get a reusable water bottle and refill it from the tap. (Argh! More stuff to carry! Why?)

If you pack a lunch, use reusable containers instead of plastic wrap. (For the love of Pete, can’t I just recycle it?)

Use cloth napkins and towels instead of paper. (But paper is recyclable! Why?)

Store things on the computer and on flash drives instead of printing them out. (But I like hard copies! Why?)

Start composting your kitchen and yard waste. (AAGGHHH! EWWW! Why?)
