(Damn, I forgot to take the cupcake wrapper back into Bette’s To Go for their food/paper waste basket.)
OK, after a week of this I see some things I can do. First, stop forgetting to bring my metal Nissan coffee cup with me. This will save throwing away a plastic cup lid for each cup of coffee I get. Second, I could take along a plastic fork and spoon, or better, one of those plastic combo “sporks.” Also, a cloth handkerchief to use instead of always taking a paper napkin. Next, I can begin saving the plastic newspaper bags to use in picking up after my dog on walks. I won’t be able to use all the newspaper bags I get but I can use a lot of them. Last, and I’m not quite ready for this yet, I could take home and wash out the round plastic half-pint containers a lot of my food seems to come in. If I had a clean one with me I don’t imagine that there would be any problem giving it to the counter person when I buy something that comes in them. Reuse beats recycling every time.
