    Today, being sustainable was pretty easy because I slept most of the day (:

    Today I carried both a reusable water bottle and a reusable mug to reduce my waste output. I also brought plastics that can't be recycled at my home to a place where they could be recycled, and tonight, I am installing a toilet tank bank in my and my roommates' bathrooms.
