Because of my fear of the virus, I am guilty of creating more waste than I did prior to quarantine. I have surgical masks, accept single-use plastic bags at the grocery stores (now back to bringing my own tote and washing it after returning home), Clorox wipes, and have spent a lot more time ordering things online—a shopping habit that boredom seems to have spiked… I knew I needed to change. I knew that I wanted to find ways to reduce my waste, even while living in a world that is focused on disinfecting.
