Trash Jar November 2018
In November I made a total of 6.8 ounces of household waste. What isn't represented here in the waste I made while visiting my parents for the holidays (as well as many other upstream and non-visible waste things). The tricky part about the holidays is that a lot of us visit with people that don't necessarily practice the same lifestyle, and that means we have to compromise.
I am happy to say though that this year I offered to help my mom make Green Bean Casserole and we made the crunchy onions from scratch! It wasn't a zero waste Thanksgiving or a vegetarian one by any means, but I did the little things that I could to keep pushing us forward while also enjoying time with family.

So, what's in my jar this month?
Annie's mac and cheese packet (yeah...it was so good!)
A "speaker" sticker from a presentation
Parking passes
Bus tickets
A receipt from recycling plastic film
Chocolate bar foil
Tape
Make-up brush packaging
Envelope window
Receipts
String from clothing
Toothpick decorations
Movie ticket stubs
Yogurt seal
Card packaging
Sauce bottle seal
I'm getting really excited to start my Buy Nothing New Resolution for 2019! I'll be posting on that soon so stay tuned!
