create less waste

I got recycling pickup service last month, and it’s great, but I still feel like I could do one better. For one thing, I am starting to see how bad plastic is, even if you do recycle diligently. So what to do? I asked for a stainless steel water bottle for Christmas, and while I am not actually doing a whole lot else, I am trying to be mindful about what I consume and where the packaging goes.
