Brought my lunch in a jar for 3 weeks and my trash went from 2 bags a week to half a bag
Honestly last month I ran out of plastic wrap and just said forget it, started packing my sandwiches and leftovers in these glass jars I had sitting in the cabinet. Three weeks in and my kitchen trash went from two full bags a week down to about half a bag, mostly just junk mail and coffee grounds. I know it sounds small but that's like 6 bags a month I'm not sending out to the curb anymore. My neighbor asked what changed and I told her it was the jars, she laughed and said her family of four would need 40 jars. I'm not trying to preach, it just surprised me how much of my trash was food packaging. Has anyone else cut their trash down with something dumb simple like that?
