Reusing versus disposable

Have you ever thought about how much we throw away.  One simple example would be looking at how you take your lunch to work or school.  Do you use a bag that you throw away when you’re done?  Or a bag that you resuse each day?

How about the individual items in your lunch.  Sandwich, fruit, chips, yogurt, etc.  Are these items in something that you throw away also?  Do you use any reusable containers?  Most items could easily be packed in reusable containers.  Why buy all those sandwich baggies when you can keep reusing containers?  How about that yogurt?  Does it come in large containers?  If so, you could buy the large containers  and use reusable containers to bring it for lunch.

What about plastic resealable bags that other products come in.  I’m always rinsing those out and using them for other things.  As you see, you can reduce the amount of trash you generate and save money!!
