Ok so I am green..getting more and more that way... especially about the amount of waste we as a "world" produce. I think I am aware because of where I live. In the U.S. we are shielded from garbage disposal...we don't see the AMOUNT of waste we produce, each one of us. But here I see it all the time and it is naaaaasty and there is so much of it and so much of it just sits around for a long time if not forever. So here are 5 suggestions for you that would make a HUGE difference in your waste production. PLEASE consider trying one or all of these and see if you can't make a habit of it and become a little kinder to our world.
1. try to stop using paper towels freely, try to use a dish towel for most things and only use paper towels for big hard to clean up messes.
2. try to stop using paper plates & plastic cups
3. Buy reuse-able shopping bags (they are everywhere) and use them whenever you shop.
4. STOP..PLEASE..STOP with the bottles of water! Use a refillable water bottle, even better get a filter for your tap water.
•30 million single-serve non-returnable containers end up
in landfi lls or as litter every day.
5. Bring a travel mug to Starbucks or wherever you go for your cup of Joe .
