Abirami Venkatesan 5/26/2021 4:36 PMI made good progress in reducing waste. Started collecting organics waste from kitchen and using as fertilizer for my garden.. Started reducing practice from bathroo. Bought bamboo tooth brush to reduce plastic. Bought biodegradable trash bags instead of plastic bags. Replaced soap bar instead of body wash which reduces plastic bottle. Started using laundry sheets for washing clothes instead of washing liquid reduced another plastic container to recycle.
