Monterey Bay Aquarium

I have a designated tea mug for the day that I refill. Cuts down on waste and dishes!

It’s unfortunately easy to find pieces of trash to clean up each day. Mismanaged waste ends up polluting our waterways 

22% of recyclables at my local waste center have to be landfilled because of contamination. Contamination, often by people trying to do the “right” thing by recycling things, gunks up other materials and makes them unmarketable. It’s essential to wash or clean out food jars before recycling them. 

I was surprised to fall under the American average since my use of prepackaged meals has increased since they are provided by work. I think having a small place to live helps me limit consumption. 

We realized it is much harder than we thought at first.  Plastic us ubiquitus!

If ordering take out and picking up, bring your reusable container and ask if they'll fill that instead of using their plastic ones.
