    Great article with many different layers of solutions.

    I’m not anywhere near zero waste and my habits are still very “traditional” and wasteful.

    But, one thing I’d recommend everyone to spend 10 minutes at the transfer station watching people throwing stuff out of trucks and cars into the giant pile. Go to Goodwill outlet “the bins” and watch giant blue tubs of yesterday’s clothes, shoes, cookware, furniture, tools, and appliances parade through their last appearance before being added to that pile. There’s knowing and there’s seeing. Experiences can work on you a lot more forcefully than words and big plans, just let it sink in and change your feeling toward buying everything new and buying disposables.
