How's everyone's first week going? I've definitely more aware of my plastic consumption (especially during the pandemic) and trying to find ways to decrease while also not risking my health and safety

As promised, I completed my waste audit! 
The biggest proponents in my landfill waste were paper towels (in the process of switching to unpaper towels), food wrappers (chips, rice, any food that comes in a bag), chicken/turkey containers (there isn't a good meat market by me so I get the prepackaged ones from the grocery store) and finally tissues (Kleenex)

Success! I had brunch with my cousin today and was able to use my reusable straw when ordering cold-brew coffee!

I've made it my goal this weekend to start another waste audit to see where and how I can cut down my landfill waste

The grocery store is especially tough during a pandemic to find plastic-free options. I tried to make a summer pasta dish today and all of the tomatoes were in a plastic container :( however, I was able to still use my reusable bags and didn't have to put my kale in a plastic one!
