    It is challenging to remember to consistently bring your reusable mug. Setting timers or keeping one handy can help this issue.
    It feels exciting to know I am saving waste from landfills that produce harmful greenhouse gases.

    I notice that food waste makes up a HUGE amount of the waste we produce in my household ! 

    We have a curbside composting service, but our compost will eventually turn into soil that is used for Indiana farms!
