We were out of town for a few hours yesterday. We have tried to do little things because each little thing is a step in the right direction. Instead of doing a take out breakfast, we chose to eat at the restaurant and use regular plates. I am using half a Q-tip for my ears instead of a whole one. We didn't get a plastic bag when we went grocery shopping. I used a regular dish cloth to wipe down some spills when it would have been much easier to use a paper towel. I think the main thing is trying to get into the habit of doing things a little different. Our grandparents didn't have the choices we have with disposable items so prevalent and plastic bags to bring their groceries home with. They had a fulfilling life without them. Trying to do the things our grandparents would do is going in the right direction. It is so easy to build up a lot of trash these days. It takes effort not to do that.
This short video is about a family of 4 that has reduced their plastics and trash.
