I love your quilt story.
I don’t buy water in disposable bottles. I take my own bottles and refill them. I re-use plastic bags from the grocery store as garbage bags.
Thanks! Yep, there are tons of ways to re-use things. I sell books as a sideline - any plastic wrap recyclable is used as a moisture barrier, and then I use plain brown paper bags for wrapping and if it’s a softcover book, I slip in a piece of recycled cardboard for stability.
I also shred a lot of paper waste and use it in the compost as a ‘brown’ v. a ‘green’ additive, and when I get laying hens again, I’ll use shredded paper for their nesting boxes.
It’s a good way to avoid Identity Theft, LOL!
