    I'm 600 pages into the extended edition of The Stand because I challenged myself to replace screen time but not lying down time.

    The bulk of the waste I've accrued this week is from the vacuum. Looking forward to the day we take out the synthetic carpet and I can start composting the stuff the vacuum picks up.

      Oops I should really qualify this by saying that my biggest contribution to the landfill is my dog's waste, but for obvious reasons I am not collecting that in the house.

    Sad to say a couple of paper napkins were taken from me at restaurants so I couldn't bring them home to burn or compost. I need to remember to bring cloth ones. Almost made up for it by fishing a bunch of paper towels out of the communal house trash to burn.

    Does anyone buy butter that doesn't come in disposable wrappers? Trying to figure how to go zero waste on this without having to churn my own.

    Clifton family has the wood stove fired up. By the end of the day, it gets the house up a couple degrees warmer than we are willing to set the thermostat.

    I'm putting together some kits of utensils to keep in the car and house for eating on the go or take-out. Each kit will contain a metal straw, fork, knife, spoon and cloth napkin.
