I live with my fiance. It me, her and 4 cats. We live in a relatively small apartment, nothing fancy.

But dear lord how is it possible that two people have so many garbage bags to throw out? I could be exaggerating a bit as I’m a bit overworked so cleaning becomes more tiresome, but seriously - from an environmental to mental health to less chores perspective, help me: what are some tricks you use to reduce garbage?

    Buy fruit and veggies that are not pre-packaged. Put them in reusable bags or bring old paper bags to the store. Also avoid thing in small packaging and buy larger quantities instead. For example buy a piece of parmesan of 200g instead of 4 bags of 50g grated.
