My Waste Free Year

Happy new year! It’s 2017 already. Time is flying! I made a new kind of resolution this year. Normally it’s simple like drink more water or the obvious, work out more, but I feel like I needed to do something bigger. This will be my waste free year. The start to a new lifestyle for us. The benefits will not just help us, but the world!

It’s been 4 weeks and it’s not as simple as one would think. Just the other day I went to HomeGoods for something and I used a plastic bag.

I’ll get there. It’s a big learning process because I’ve grown up with convenience and that’s a habit everyone should try to break.

In addition to waste free, I felt that a natural, non processed diet was also necessary. It’s true, there are unhealthy vegans out there and I don’t want to be one of them. So no more mock meats or cheeses in plastic bags or containers. I’m looking into places where I can buy in bulk and I just purchased some washable produce bags!

So, here’s to the new year and my new adventure! I’ll keep you posted along the way. I know I’ll make mistakes and that’s ok! My head is in the right place and I’ve already been doing a much better job than I was 3 weeks ago!
