I needed more space. I will not compost because I already have 2 years ago stopped feeding birds.

First, if you cancel your junk mail I was told years ago we would see a dramatic drop in postmen/women. And you won't receive your subscribed to magazines. You would need a box at the PO for those... Next.. about we talk to the grocers... Take your own, probably plastic storage containers for left overs, to the store the DELI is a plastic nightmare. Have them fill your own bowl and take it home. eat and repeat!!! The grocery stores are full of plastic. Things at home depot so full of plastic wrapping material it ridiculous. So should we unwrap them right there at the store before we purchase to get a look at and take them to their registers and let them run their little codes then leave the darn plastic they chose to have at the store and they can worry about it...I have always been big on re-purposing as I like to create so do it!!!Its fun and gets you off this beast of burden. As far as buy less..That is a big mind your own business to me!! Also I am not composting.
