Zero Waste Work? Not Even Close.

Here are a few changes I've made at work swapping out "disposables" for reusable items.  I brought in a plate my daughter made back in 2009 that I never used and now I use every day.  I found a mismatched spoon, fork, and knife at home and brought them in.  Instead of using coffee cream from the tiny plastic tub, I bring almond milk for the week in my insulated Super Mario bottle.  I have a ceramic coffee mug that my son painted that I use each day.  I use my pink zak! 32oz tumbler for water and the other reusable cup is for lemonade.  We have 32oz Yeti tumblers at home that we use but the zak! brand works just as good and costs significantly less.  Yesterday I kept track of how many paper towels I used for the day and it was a staggering 22!  It was a good little experiment that persuaded me to just bring a kitchen towel for the week.  I still have a great deal of room for improvement but it's all about baby steps and developing lasting habits that you will stick with.
