REDUCE - Reduce the amount of disposables you intake.
BUY IN BULK - buy often used foods in bulk
1. Use reusable bulk containers, either jars for herbs or sacks
for oatmeal, etc.
2. Do not buy small packages, ie candy bars, or "snack packs" due
to all the extra packaging.
DON'T BUY EXTRA EQUIPMENT - Why buy a pancake maker, Quesadilla maker, or
any other "maker" when you can do it with stuff you already have?
IMPULSE SHOPPING - You don't need that Dollar Tree Christmas ornaments, or
snow globe, or random trash gifts, no one needs those and they will be in a
yardsale soon.
MICROWAVE or STOVE - If you don't need to reheat leftovers then why waste
the power.
NO DISPOSABLE CUTLERY OR PLATES - its obvious, waste and cost over time
compared to washing dishes (correctly).
BUY REUSABLE or RECYCLABLE - If it can be reused later or at worst
recycled then keep in mind to buy that instead of the throw away wrapping
or plastic container.
1. Avoid certain plastic #'s
2. Avoid "candy bar like" wrappers, one time use stuff.
REUSE - Use containers that are reusable
JARS - I mean salsa jars, mason jars, anything glass that can be used for
dry or wet ingredients, and can use for non-food storage.
PLASTICS - containers of all sorts like glass, just less safe for food but
non-food storage is all the rave.
NON-RECYCLABLE - try to find a clever way to reuse stuff like Styrofoam for
insulation.
RECYCLE - Recycle all non-reusable materials
AVOID HAVING TO RECYCLE - due to the fact that it uses energy to transport,
and process the materials.
LAST RESORT RECYCLE - Obviously recycle if its unavoidable.
COMPOST - If you have food waste, which you shouldn't, then just compost it.
BUY LOCAL - Money that goes back into the community! Also you can develop
a friendship with local farmers and those who work at the market
GROCERY'S - Usually grown organic or naturally, money goes to hard working
and caring farmers, and usually more social then going to a superstore where
a machine checks you out or just low paid workers who mostly want you to
hurry up due to the mass amount of people in and out, bless them for dealing
with the chaos.
EMPLOYEE OWNED - Not the best but better then mainstream superstores where
all the money goes to corporation.
This is not exhaustive by any means it was written off the top of my head lemme know what you think.
I believe God gives us humble wisdom to respect all he has created, even how to be wise against evil
corporations and being involved in our community more in these ways as well.

I use the eco-friendly bags when I shop, and I use the plastic grocery bags my folks give me, for trash bags..
