[SPEAKER 1] I bring my own lunch to work in reusable Tupperware containers.
So I don't have to throw away plastic
to go boxes, utensils and bags from local restaurants.
[SPEAKER 2] I drink coffee every morning, but I
don't want to throw away a paper coffee cup
and plastic lid every day.
So I make my coffee at home.
And I always use a thermos.
[SPEAKER 3] I signed up to the "do not mail" list to cut down on paper junk mail.
No one wants junk mail.
It's useless and such a waste.
[SPEAKER 4] I limit my use of paper towels most of the time.
I don't use them, but if I do, I just take one sheet.
That's all you need.
[SPEAKER 5] And I recently learned that paper towels are compostable,
so if I do use them, I throw them in the compost bin.
[SPEAKER 6] Me too.
Same goes for any paper based food containers
like pizza boxes and some to go boxes from restaurants.
[SPEAKER 7] I've started making some of my own beauty and home cleaning
products like soap, moisturizer and shampoo
that I store in reusable containers.
[SPEAKER 8] I stopped accepting plastic and paper
bags from the grocery store and bring my own reusable bags now.
