About a year ago, I made the decision to try to live a lot less wastefully. My husband and I decided to try and significantly reduce the amount of rubbish in our bin each week. Things started very simply - we stopped drinking bottled water, quit using paper towels, and started taking our own bags to the market when we did our food shopping. Once we identified a few disposable items in our lives that we could live without, we started assessing every single thing we used, and trying to find less-wasteful alternatives.
