Today's goal was to reduce the amount of garbage we create. Here is what our family created yesterday in terms of garbage: kleenex,non-recyclable food wrappers such as a net holding oranges and frozen veggie bags that can't be recycled, ruined items rescued from my teething puppy's mouth, dental floss and pencil shavings. In order to reduce our garbage today, I decided to carry a cloth hankerchief (yes, there is a bit of a gross factor here but I'll get used to it). I'll remember to buy frozen vegetables in all plastic bags or boxes that can be recycled and oranges, well, an environmental purist would say maybe I shouldn't really be buying those... Can pencil shavings be composted? Bought the dog a bone (brought it home in a reusable container!)so hopefully she won't be ruining things today.
Had a friend over for tea. I was about to make our usual green tea (in individual packages) but decided to serve some lemon verbena tea that a friend brought me from her garden nearby - no packaging and local!
