YEAR OF ZEN: SUMMER: DAY 63

The Gleaners - Jean-François Millet

Q: What are some simple ways to reduce your trash creation?

A: This is something I try to be aware of, but even with awareness there are SO MANY opportunities for improvement. One simple thing I do is keep resuable water and coffee bottles around to avoid the need for disposable containers. I have also cut back on the number of canned waters I consume. We try to buy fruits and vegetables that are on their own and not sealed in plastic, but that can always be improved on as well. Being mindful of my waste footprint, and working to reduce it, is an ongoing goal and effort.
