Here’s all my trash for July! This month, my youngest went grocery shopping with me (I usually go alone) and she asked for a bag of grapes. Since it’s way better than asking for a bag of candy, I went along with it even though it was in plastic. On a positive note, there’s definitely less trash than in typical months because of Plastic-Free July and because we did a lot of traveling in July! I still generate trash when traveling but not as much since we go out to eat more and other friends and family cook for us. For next month, I’m aiming for less online packages and less produce bags. Are you interested in trying a trash audit? If not for a whole month, how about a week or even a day?

No more bottled water for 2024! #plasticfree #zerowaste #plasticpollution
Make it a goal for 2024 to stop drinking bottled water! 90% of the microplastics found in bottled water were nanoplastics...small enough to cross the blood-brain barrier! https://lnkd.in/gTWJp_da #plasticfree #plasticpollution #climatechange #sustainability

Another trash audit in the books! #zerowate #plasticfree #gogreen
Here’s all my trash for October! What you won’t see in my trash, in comparison to the average person, are plastic bottles! I’ve gotten rid of nearly all plastic bottles (except yellow mustard and Sriracha) by: 1) Replacing it with glass or metal (e.g. sparkling water and condiments) 2) Switching to solid bars (e.g. shampoo and soap) 3) Ordering refills in reusable pouches that I mail back in pre-paid envelopes from refill shops like The Refill Shoppe (Ventura - https://lnkd.in/gF9TYnww) or the Good Fill (Nashville - https://thegoodfill.co/) 4) Or going without…the greenest, most plastic-free, zero waste thing you can buy is nothing! If you don’t need it, don’t buy it. Back to October’s trash, during the months where it’s one of my kids’ birthdays, there’s always more trash. From online orders to things like a big bag of ice and charcuterie, it’s hard to avoid. Yes, in theory, I could make 20 lbs of ice or whatever, but I’m not convinced I have room in the fridge (or really the time) for that. For this month, there will probably be less deli items since there’s less school and less online orders. Are you interested in trying a trash audit? If not for a whole month, how about a week or even a day? #sustainability #zerowaste #trashaudit #gogreen #climatechange #plasticfree #oceanadvocate
