Waste Reduction Plan

Recently, I stumbled upon an interesting project to reduce personal waste. I'll explain it a little better later, but basically I'm keeping track of everything I dispose and take note of how much I throw away each day. It's amazing how many opportunities you have to use single serving containers. Just getting a cup of coffee in the morning offers up to three - coffee cup, sugar packet, creamer packet/small containter - it's just amazing. Briefly, here's what I've done to reduce my daily waste to almost zero. 1) washable & reuseable coffee & water cup at the office and home 2) composting all compostable items 3) continue recycling at home & work 4)making a more conscious effort to not buy or use single serving items (wrappers, small containers, ect..) If you are more interested in trying something like this, go to youtube and type in 365 days of trash. There are some pretty extreme videos illustrating a version of what I am doing.
