With the recent addition of 2 new roommates things have the potential to worsen in the way of my zero waste trials. One of the roommates, luckily, is my sister. I think she has a goal of reducing her waste as well, so that will be incredibly helpful! The other roommate, our good friend Alan, probably won’t be on the same boat. But you know what? that’s OK, The more I think about it, the more I know it’s not something worth stressing about. To each their own is all I can say, while leading by example.
When we moved into this house I discovered a plastic garbage bin downstairs that’s unused! It’s my lucky day. I’m going to make it into a backyard composter. By drilling some holes in the bottom portion a I can easily roll it around once a week to stir it, and before you know it, I will have compost!
I guess I should learn how to garden now?
Lastly with the addition of our new energy efficient fridge, washer and dryer, as well as LED light bulbs, we are well on our way to becoming and Eco friendly household!

Hi, Hannah! Great attitude! We have to do our part. If we wait other to be as green/sustainable as us we will constantly unhappy. Small changes and steps can influence others indirectly! About composting, I made a post on this. See if it can help you: http://giynow.com/2016/02/08/home-composting-how-can-i-improve-my-garden-using-waste/

Hannah, you totally have to garden, its the ultimate zero waste… instead of being a consumer, you are the producer and consumer! You can even compost seed packets from certain suppliers. 🙂 Its a great path to be on… enjoy the research!
