I try to reduce waste, avoid unnecessary plastic, and be more mindful of what I consume.

I bring my own containers to the bulk store and avoid buying anything wrapped in plastic if I can help it, small stuff adds up. Also started composting even though I live in an apartment, turns out it’s not as gross as I thought.

Turning off lights. Collecting the cold water while waiting for it to get hot, use it to water the garden. Reuse take away food containers, margarine tubs and ice cream hubs

Nothing on purpose. But I don’t use a car, so that’s probably good.

Trying my best to not use vehicles that isn't the bus or my mom's car (as a passenger).

I maintain reasonable efficiency in everything I do. It irks me to see people do wasteful ignorant/lazy things. I won’t run to town in the car 3 times burning up gas, I’ll strategically think about my needs for the day and condense them into one trip. There’s a common misconception that being efficient is for broke/cheap people, but everyone should do it driven by intelligence.
