Like spring this year, I am a little late...

Sorry everyone! I didn't post February's eco-challenge that I have taken up and would like to encourage all to join me!

This month, I am reducing the waste I create around food! What does this mean? Well, I am composting all my vegetable waste matter (even though this means going next door to the neighbouring restaurant and using their green bin!)

I am also keeping a plate with me at all times in my purse, because we have free sandwiches provided to us for teaching rounds at work, and I reuse the same plate every day (or at least until it gets too dirty). I am also keeping one spare plastic knife with me for all times to cut/spread things whenever I need to. You would be amazed how handy it comes in every now and again!

I am also hoping to eat less take-out to avoid the take-out containers. With this in mind, I have started to bring tupperware to restaurants so I can use my tupperware instead of their non-recyclable styrofoam containers.

Well, that is all for me for now! I hope everyone is living as green as they can and keep up the good work:)
