    Does your workplace have a good recycling program? What could be improved?

    Yes, we have a great program and there is not a ton or reasons why you wouldn't recycle here.

    When is it hardest not to use a plastic bag? What can motivate you to stick to your goal in those cases?

    I have stopped using plastic bags for my leftovers and moved to glass containers. The convenience of tossing a bag after I pull my leftovers out of the fridge with no extra dishes has been the "hardest", but not too bad.

      Definitely. My secret is that I throw my containers in the dishwasher at work and then I don't have to do those dishes either! ;)

      Trash bags are tough! I've been doubling up on paper bags but it hasn't been without some leaks/messes.

    How have you modified your cleaning routine to make sure you aren't using disposable wipes? Are you satisfied with the results?

    I have moved to using a kitchen cloth for cleanup. They actually speed up the process of wipe down in the kitchen.

    How difficult (or easy!) has it been for you to cut dryer sheets from your laundry routine?

    It has been easy to quit and I am finding that my clothes are just as soft without them.

    I have found that my trash cans are not filling up as fast. I have also become more aware of how many dishes I am using.
