thankfully I hadn't yet gone shopping, because I was still overwhelmed at how would I cope without the nice free bags to line the garbage, as opposed to having to spend money on bags.
but an article here under the challenge was really helpful. Like this one person blogged about how they were able to not use any bags for liner since they didn't have any wet or icky stuff (that went to compost). That was nice and I felt understood and less bad cause I have waste from being sick (vomit, etc sorry if TMI) that I feel shouldn't go to a compost
I hope to figure out, research, and am open to any ideas on apartment-friendly compost what I can compost. And try something similar to the newpaper liner idea for dry stuff, except with like papers I've had to use for school and stuff.
anyways, for now i'm happy to this challenge has linked me to some resources and i'm happy in the meantime to spend some time learning to really make informed, sustainable changes.
(and this was the article)
