And I already hate it.
We made a long list of lofty things that we would be putting into practice this month. They were great things like not using paper towels, sorting plastic and paper, using less water, not using plastic silverware, preserving electricity, taking reusable bags to Walmart and monitoring food waste.
So far I've put forth just about -12% effort. This is officially the worst month ever.
- I don't like recycling, pretty sure it's a scam.
- Paper towels are scientifically more sanitary than cloth rags or towels.
- There is no real silverware at work.
- Fine, I'll turn off the lights.
- I have like 2 reusable bags, and Garrett is doing the grocery shopping this week anyway. No chance of that happening.
So there's really just one thing I can get behind here: food and water waste.
I love you Morgan, I'm sorry.
When I first read this chapter of the book the topic of food waste was what stuck out to me most. We are terrible at this - if you ask my husband, I'm just really terrible at this. Fresh food goes to waste a lot around here. Also, I leave cups half full of water all over the house like I'm that little girl from the movie Signs.
This is the internet, so of course I'm going to be honest: reducing my food and water waste are going to be my main goals this month.
It's okay, you can hate me. Just try to keep in mind that a few months ago I was surviving on sweet potatoes and greek yogurt.
All of that being said, this week we're eating out of the pantry in order to prove a point - that we have way more food than we think we do. So there's still things being learned.
Bear with me, Morgan's inspiration blog is coming soon.
