A fun challenge! Thanks to Team Captain Julie!

I saved two weeks of work garbage just to see what I put in the trash by my desk. Lots of wrappers - granola bars and cheese sticks. Maybe I could challenge myself next year with making my own granola bars so I can be wrapper free.

While I didn't really get a chance to declutter, I am still planning to finish this so I will no longer have it hanging over my head. After completing this project will need to consider what other steps I should take to simplify my life. 

I finally finished insulating my new hot water heater! 

Bought a bunch of "ugly" bananas on the clearance shelf. Thanks to Rich McConaghy for inspiring the action. They are just headed for a smoothie, anyway!

I managed to not sample the Seafood chowder at our soup potluck today, nor did I use the disposable bowl. At my small group last night, without thinking I accepted and ate from a paper plate. I was so disappointed that I didn't even think about it until I was almost finished, it is so hard to train myself to think differently. 

Still trying to get others to buyin

My old habit of drying my coffee cup with a paper towel sneaked up of me today. Oh Monday!

Successful and significant reduction in use of paper towels at work. 

One bag of garbage in the Can and my recycle bin is nearly full.
