awindow is waiting...for a lot of things.

reduce, reuse, recycle
Why this is not marked "Done!" 9 months ago

I recycle like a fiend. I’d say 90% of my recyclable trash, I recycle. I always feel guilty when I don’t, so I regularly hold on to cans/bottles/wrappers until I get to a recycling bin.
I am also a major reducer. I avoid paper towels, unplug things when I’m not using them, limit shower time, take the bus, don’t leave the faucet running, ride my bike when I need something (that I can carry) from the stores in a 2-mile radius, do full loads of laundry, and eat little meat.
Obviously, there’s always more that can be done to reduce and recycle, but maybe not enough to leave it as one of my 43 things. My issue is with reusing.
Of course, there are a lot of things I reuse. My clothes, my furniture, etc. But I still seem to go out with the old and in with the new more than is environmentally friendly. When I make a few changes there, I’ll mark this as “done!”
