A year ago,I decided to create a more environmentally friendly kitchen,focusing on reducing the single-use products such as plastic bags and paper towels.I'm not going to sugarcoat my experience.It takes commitment and a willingness to change long-held habits.In creating my kitchen,I tried a lot of different alternative products and some plain old common sense.The result,however,has been worth the effort.I'm recycling more and relying less on single-use products and I'm saving money too.
   I'm not kidding when I say that I used to really love plastic storage bags,so this was,perhaps,the biggest challenge for me.Switching to reusable storage bags is a financial investment,but the cost is reasonable considering that I previously spent at least $100 annually on single-use plastic bags and wrap.I will check online periodically for recycling updates,where a zero-waste box for kitchen items is offered,from party supplies to mixed-material food containers.
   I'm a clean freak(怪人)and used to go through an amount of paper towels on a daily basis,but it's easy enough to take old T-shirts or towels and cut them up to use to wipe down surfaces.I'm also a fan of bamboo paper towels,which have the look and feel of traditional paper towels,yet are made from a highly renewable source and also break down in just 45 days.Better yet,they can be reused up to 100 times.As for kitchen sponges(海綿擦),I keep an eye out for those made with natural and recyclable materials.
   When purchasing household items online from companies like Amazon or Jet,I will ask to have them shipped in as few boxes as possible or as small a box as possible if a single item is to be sent.I'll let the company know that they should pay more attention to how it is packaging items for delivery.
