Here’s my Sunday to Saturday trash production. Reducing the amount of trash I create has been something I’ve been working on over the last couple of years. I try my best to use Tupperware, always carry metal eating utensils/straws with me, and being that I work at a coffee shop, having a reusable cup with me is essential. Still, pretty much all of the waste I produced over the course of a week is food-related. I especially found myself during this week, trying to avoid trash, such as not using paper towels to dry my hands.
Some things I could eliminate to reduce my waste impact:
– aluminum foil ( I can use Tupperware instead)
– individual yogurt cups (could buy in bigger size to reduce plastic)
– eating out less (lots of plastic generated here)
