How to create less waste by QCgal

"This is, of course, an ongoing experience but it is amazing to see the little parts of my life that have changed to make this true."

How I did it: Most of it has to do with my buying habits. I try to buy fewer and less packaged products at the grocery store, I tend toward the bulk items and I eat vegan (low on the food chain is the way to go). I buy second-hand clothing, mostly. I don't fly as much as I used to - though I'm thinking of getting back into that a bit because I just am so addicted to exploring *yikes*. And, I'm planning my garden for this year. I also don't eat out as much.

Lessons & tips: Read blogs and surround yourself with people who also esteem this goal.

    Recycling isn't enough 12 months ago

    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.
