Avoid the Daily Waste of Fast Food and Shopping
Keep track of how much trash you generate by eating out and making trips to the store, All of those bags, cups, and containers really add up and are stuffing our landfills to capacity. Bring your own plastic/metal boxes to your favorite take-out joint. You'll save resources and save them money. Use reusable shopping bags whenever you go to the store. Say "No Thanks" when the pharmacist or fast food clerk tries to put your one or two items in a bag. Use reusable cups for coffee and other beverages including for soda and fountain drinks. And, reuse some of the extras at home - keep extra napkins and reuse plastic cups and cutlery. Instead of wasting money and CO2 on paper towels for simple things like drying hands and cleaning small spills in the kitchen. Paper towels are then just used for really messy, icky spills and stuff. By adding the towels to other laundry loads, you won't spend money or carbon getting them clean for use again.
