She probably requests having it double wrapped in butcher paper at the meat counter, which would get rid of the styrofoam and plastic packaging.Quote

I think unfortunately this video leaves out a lot of scenarios like How is she getting her meat home?

You Can Live Without Producing Trash: https://youtu.be/nYDQcBQUDpw LINK
I noticed that a good number of us cf are concerned about our planet in one way or another (mainly overpopulation) and doing what we personally can not to contribute to the decreasing reasources. So when I saw this video on a woman who has two years worth of trash contained in just a small jar, i couldn't help but show you all.
I doubt I'd actually take the time to make some of the stuff she dose, but I've always been interested in composting, but had no idea just how many items in the house could be replaced with recyclable/compost friendly replacements, or be simply just intreged at her different ideas on small simple changes, that are barely noticeable, but make a differance.
Worth the watch even if your not into all that full tilt green living.

Plastic shopping bags are a necessity. Carrying paper sacks up a nine foot narrow, steep staircase is beyond difficult for some of my helpers and I can't carry much of anything. Other type sacks even at Goodwill are too pricey and hard to find. I am a falling risk and have little to no balance. The plastic bags make good garbage/recycle bags also, never going out empty. Two weeks of pure non-recycled trash in my house fits in two tied shopping bags, far less than what I come in from the store with and any cow.

There are no green grocers within reach. It's the grocery store and thus plastic discount sacks of fruit/veg for me.

I admit to using plastic bags but we do reuse them for bathroom garbage bags as well as for poop scooping when we walk the dog. I do recycle but I am not as diligent as I could be about cutting out trash. We are also charged for trash and recycling pick up even if we don't use it, which I have found we fill the outside bin about every other week.
Overall, we could do a lot better.
