I wiped our counters and cleaned a water spill on the ground with old towels instead of using paper towels in order to reduce my consumption.

I used the drying rack to dry my clothes after washing them, instead of using the electric dryer.

Today while working from home, I realized how many coffee grounds I usually place into the city compost bin. I want to use those coffee grounds here in my home garden as a fertilizer. I've decided that I will save our coffee grounds and sprinkle them onto our tomato plants in order to save on using synthetic Nitrogen fertilizer.

Today at work, I realized I could have used cloth towels to dry my hands instead of paper towels. I will try to do that tomorrow!

As the weather gets hotter, I sometimes feel the urge to buy a cold iced drink, but thinking of the environment, I made tea at home in advance and put it in the freezer. Then, when I went out, I took the cold drink with me. By preparing drinks at home instead of buying them outside whenever possible, I not only save money but also avoid using unnecessary disposable containers and products.

Instead of dumping the remaining water in my rinse cup after brushing my teeth, I let it remain to use for the next time I brush.

I invited my friends to dinner at my place yesterday and encouraged them to join the clean plate campaign. I might have been a bit too pushy, but I think I did the right thing and gave them a good reminder.

I stopped consumption today. I didn't go to the market and tried not to buy anything.

I used potato peels to remove grease from the pans and hand-washed them instead of using the dishwasher. It feels good to save on kitchen towels and electricity. Washing the dishes by hand is also a form of mindful practice for me!
