After completing this module, I have came to the realization that my husband and I create a lot of waste in our household. This is something that I do think about often, but after completing this section and watching the video, I think that together we would be able to cut down on certain things that we use. One of the biggest changes that we have been trying to make is not buying as much water bottles, and trying our new filtered pitcher. This is something that we need to get used to, but will help protect the environment in the long run. Another thing that we have been trying to be better about is taking reuse-able bags when shopping. My husband has the tendency to purchase plastic bags every time he goes shopping, but now we have added few bags in each of our cars to have with us every time we are shopping.
Although both of these are small changes I think that it is important for us to take this first step together in order to reduce the amount of waste we are creating.
Great idea with the re-usable shopping bags! They often come in handy and help reduce plastic waste, especially when grocery shopping. Small steps are still a great way to begin making positive change, even if it is just the two of you. Some other ideas include repurposing cardboard boxes and other packaging items, saving waste and money... https://www.reddit.com/r/lifehacks/comments/9vvtya/crafty/
ReplyDeleteYes! I too am working on breaking the plastic water bottle habit. Reusable bags are amazing, I use them all the time when I go shopping. That's great that you two are working on making these changes!
