I am proud to say that since we've started this project, I haven't bought anything except for food. There are the minor exceptions though, with my preexisting magazine subscription. But other than that, I've been thinking about things I need and not just want. For this weeks challenge, I started recycling more. Since I recycle so much at home, I figured I should recycle other than just bottles here. I set up two trash cans in my room, one for paper products and one for regular trash. Before, I just combined both. It made me realize that I go though a fair amount of paper products. Also, Laura and I have started using reusable cups instead of ones that can be easily tossed. I think I'm making progress with this project. But I obviously still have a ways to go.
