It is time for my annual — ‘garbage after Christmas’ letter’! I think that it is important for us to become ‘sustainable’— using earth’s resources in such a way that we do not exhaust their supply, or cause harm through their use. One example is single use plastics – we should all reduce our use of it by not buying products that are made with plastic material, and reuse or recycle them what we do. Maria and I have stopped buying milk in plastic containers. Yes, it costs more to buy milk in glass bottles, but those bottles are washed and reused, and therefore do not become products in our waste stream. I am sure that there is some ‘one thing’ that you can do to reduce your waste flow too.
