Day 2290 - We knew we were going to order ourselves a few more Stasher bags, so we reached out to local friends about doing a combined order. Three of us went in together, which made for a nice reduction in packaging and delivery efforts!

I don’t understand when people tell me not to care about the environment because big companies are responsible for most of the waste, pollution and garbage. You know what? You are right. And there is probably nothing I can do about it. But this issue is too big of a deal for me. I will not point fingers when I don’t do my own little share. Because once I started to point out the amount of packaging, sewed little bags for my vegetables or stopped buying food with palm oil, my friends noticed that and now we all go together to the farmers market every week to get locally grown food that is not packaged. It is awful what big companies do but I still reduce as much waste as possible for me. Don’t tell me I am stupid for caring about my home. It doesn’t cost you much to go a little out of your way to reduce waste.

Day 4016 - The era of always carrying baby snacks has begun. We aren't totally plastic-free, but we do buy snacks in larger packaging and decant what we need for each outing.
