I have always prided myself on being a frugal and thoughtful consumer, concerned about the ecological and ethical impacts of the products I buy. I pay that extra $10 a month to support green energy, use CFLs where I can, have low flow shower heads, bricks in the toilet tanks, buy earth and animal friendly cleaning products or make my own, wear my clothes until they're dead, line dry most often, use my dish and pasta water to water landscaping, shower every other day, have no ac, rarely use my gas in wall heater, bike or take public transport almost all of the time, drink tap water, buy local and organic foods to supplement those I grow in my garden, have reusable shopping bags, a reusable coffee cup, a reusable water bottle, save lidded plastic food packaging to store left overs of future meals and compost 100% of my food scraps.

....so what's with all this waste?

Whats in the Bag

This is an evolving list of things I have discovered I need to ALWAYS have with me in order to reduce waste.
  • reusable coffee cup
Irony + Ecology = I Am Not a Paper Cup
  • reusable water bottle
NO funky chems, (BPA free lining) tons of uber cute designs (Kids sizes and designs too), and good business ethics. SIGG All worth a few extra $$
  • a small towel
  • snacks
