The next step would be to reduce the amount of water used when washing the dishes. I feel that water can easily be misused and wasted during this process, especially in households that place a high emphasis on cleanliness. 

I feel that encouraging a company to make this shift would be relatively easy. From a pure economics standpoint, if all reports were double-sided, it would cut down on the office supply costs for the company, thus widening their margins. On a personal level, I would think that no one would mind conforming to the shift as well (especially given the "one-click" ease of selecting this option when printing).

I could start buying from companies that help solve the problem of food waste. For example, I discovered a company at the farmer's market that recycles fruit and veggies that have been discarded from juice shops. It's just the parts of the produce that have had the juice sucked out of them. They will take the juiced produce and use it to make yummy baked goods! It's totally healthy and good for us and the planet.

I am trying to refuse more plastic and paper packaging by buying in bulk, repurposing old clothes and other items, and refusing plastic at restaurants. It's hard though with the pressure!

I love bringing my friends with me to our school gym, and we lift weights outside the gym while watching the ocean/sunset!

It has been really beneficial and has helped me to notice more when I am full so I don't overeat. It's helped me take better care of my body and take smaller portions (which also reduces food waste!)
