Still even if I don’t use the soil I’m composting, turning food waste into soil is way better than putting it in the trash.


I have a yard now and I have been trying to garden but without much success yet. So now I line my trash can with one of those, then dump the trash directly into the outside bin loose (and my trash collectors have been willing to take it that way), put the liner in the wash and put the other one in. They are cloth, washable, and waterproof. A coworker of Brad’s gave him some baby supplies that included two more pail liner wet bags (like these). It has always seemed strange to put my trash into more trash to dispose of it. I wasn’t too sure at first but now I’m sold on it. It’s very distressing! trashĪ friend of mine writes a zero-waste blog (I actually know her in real life from college) and she had this suggestion for getting rid of trash bags. I’ve seen first hand the insane amount of plastic bag waste at stores. At first I was self-conscious about using them but now that I’ve been a grocery cashier I am not the least bit embarrassed. I put my grocery list in one and it’s part of my “going to the grocery store” routine to take my cloth bags.

It can be challenging at first to remember to take them with you but I’m pretty good now. I’ve been using cloth grocery bags for a while.
