Use a Reusable Water Bottle

Itr's estimated over a billion water bottles are thrown away each year. Even if they were recycled, that still uses energy and resources from the earth. I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I learned about the reasons why food waste shouldn't be thrown together with regular waste but recycled/composted instead. Fortunately, in Belgium we have weekly food waste pick ups that are processed to generate plant compost for industrial purposes and to generate energy. I used this opportunity to remind myself of what can be disposed of in the organic trash.
