    I could refuse to drive so often and opt to wither walk or take public transportation. Makes me feel better because I am deceasing my carbon foot print when I do so

    What single-use items (e.g. straws, coffee cups, vegetable bags, plastic bags) do you regularly use? What could be substituted instead?

    I need to remember to bring reusable bags in order to substitute single use plastic vegetable bags

    Food
    An average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Where would you rather use this money?
