Appreciation post: From foil mountains to glass jars in my fridge

I used to wrap everything in foil and plastic for the week. Now I use glass jars and cloth bags, which cuts my trash and feels better for the earth. How do you keep your meal prep green?

You said it feels better for the earth, but have you actually measured your trash reduction?

Wyattp45, you want me to measure trash? Like, count every eggshell? I started tracking it... but gave up after my cat knocked over the compost bin. Now I just go by how much lighter the trash bag feels.

But @wyattp45, is it really worth counting every piece of trash?

Measure your trash? I tried that once and it drove me nuts! I ended up focusing on the big stuff like recycling and composting. The bag feels lighter, and that's proof enough for me. Who has time to count every little thing? If you're making less trash, you're doing good. Let's not get bogged down in numbers!
