A big part of living waste free is saying no to things you don't need. I think of all the times I have accepted a flier from someone on the street only to throw it away at the next trash can. Saying no isn't always easy, especially when it comes to food. The best part of going to Costco is getting all the samples! Alas, this month I have been saying no to all samples because they always come in little paper or plastic cups. Other things I have been turning down this month so far are receipts (when possible), water served in single use cups, the program they hand out at church, plastic bags, and the pamphlet with brewing instructions for my tea (I took a picture of it instead).
