11/9/2023 0 Comments Lyn marstellerI too had never really thought about what reusable things I carry in my purse until reading this post, and it turns out its more than I thought! What a great post! I think circulating something like this would really encourage people to be more conscious about carrying along simple items that can make a huge difference. In the course of writing this, I discovered that there is actually a party game called “What’s in your purse?” I can’t promise you any points or prizes, but I’m sure Jacquie and others would love to hear what reusables you carry in your purse, pocket, satchel, briefcase, or book bag to make the world a little bit greener, a little bit less wasteful. In the process I hope to set a good example for her and for my students. Trying to live sustainably is simply the right thing to do, an “Intergenerational Golden Rule” that inspires me to use resources wisely. I reached into my purse and pulled out one more item -the photo of my daughter that I carry in my wallet. What Inspires Me To Carry My Waste-Preventing Reusables?Īt the end of our lunch conversation, Jacquie asked me why I do all of this. I now carry one Pilot “B to P” (Bottles to Plastic) pen, and I have a packet of refills at home. If given extra napkins at a restaurant, I put one or two in my purse so I can use them for the odd clean-up task as well.Īs readers of my “ Disposable Pen Peeve” post know, I am trying to reduce pen proliferation, especially the disposable kind. Of course, I carry my official WeHateToWaste People Towel for quick hand drying. I use the newspaper delivery bag like an evening glove (very elegant!) to pick up any offending item in my path. Inspired by the WeHateToWaste story on picking up litter, I try to carry at least one plastic bag in my purse or pocket for picking up stray objects on the street. When we eat out, I can easily bag up the uneaten bread from the basket and plop a small amount of food in this reusable container. I don’t always remember to bring this, but I created a makeshift doggie bag kit by filling a small plastic Tupperware-type food container with a couple of plastic baggies and twist ties. The barcodes are clearly visible at checkout.Ĥ. ![]() These reusable, washable drawstring bags from Earthwise help me cut down on plastic bags to hold fresh produce purchased at the supermarket.
