I try to buy products with less packaging. When I can’t completely avoid the packaging I do my best to reuse materials. Check out this handy plastic bag drying rack that allows me to clean and re-use my plastic produce bags. I also recycle my plastic grocery bags, my dry cleaning hangars, my elastic bands and I donate my coffee filters to a local artist. What do you do to limit your waste production?

Awesome! I have a game I call 'Twice.' Any single-use plastic I use I challenge myself to use it twice. That serves two purposes: first I decrease my landfill impact by 50%, and second I so dread having to find a use for more plastics that it serves to keep my usage down!
