About two years ago we were down to one bag of trash every week, and I have no idea what happened. We cloth diaper so it's not like Wolfie has added bulk to our trash. We've been lazy about composting and sorting our trash. No more. This is bound for the compost bin.
We needed to step back and see where all this trash was coming from. So welcome back the every three days trips to Sainsbury's. Yes, I hate going to the grocery store every three days, but it dramatically cuts the waste.
Having a teenie tiny trash can makes you analyze everything you toss, which is a great idea!
I just mailed off a hybrid fitted today (!!!) and this was my cool mailing envelope.
Up cycled magazine pages sewn together into a mailing envelope. I'm anxiously waiting to see what type of condition it arrives in. Would anyone like a quick tutorial? Well, like or not it's happening. So check this space!
I will let you know how the trash diet goes. Two days in, we're in high spirits, and the compost bin is filling.
Really the only items that need to end in the trash are cooked foods and non recyclable materials. If you've never taken the time to investigate what can be recycled and composted, I urge you to look into it. Dryer lint? Throw it in the compost! Your garden will thank you!
