The Year of Living Minimally - Week Fifty-one

I've been thinking a lot about plastic - bags, straws, packaging, utensils - there's just so much plastic. And we all aware that our oceans are filling up with plastic at an alarming rate.At the conclusion of this year-long project, I've just discovered Tippi Thole. Tippi Thole is someone you should discover, too. Check out her "tiny trash can" website here - and you'll be amazed/inspired/ wowed. Because Tippi Thole replaced the trash can in her kitchen (10-gallon capacity) with a small wastebasket (like the kind you probably have in your bathroom). She began to shop mindfully, and within a few months, the amount of trash her family produced each week fit into a Mason jar that is under 3" tall!!!

Could I do this, too? I'm sure as hell going to try. We're only two people.
