Garbage Free week
« on: June 01, 2018, 08:52:02 PM »
Full disclosure, I’ve been researching this for a while, and it’s going to be tough.  Here’s the challenge:  for a full week, produce no direct trash that will not break down in a landfill or is not directed to compost, yard waste, or a recycling center.  This means:

1) pretty much no fast food or single use plastic cups, silverware etc
2) watch the combined plastic/cardboard packing in cereal etc.  in my area, the plastic inserts are Not recyclable.
3) grocery bags are forgone or used only if recyclable or compostable (like the new produce bags from Trader Joe’s.

Suggestions are appreciated if possible!
