I know it looks like I\u2019m really back sliding this week but here\u2019s the back story. We had 12 guests stay with us over the weekend for the Pig Town Fling contradance. Actually our friends are very conscientious about the environment and make very little waste. But 12 extra people making very little waste still adds up. As you can see, I couldn\u2019t fit it all in my see through jar. The big culprit was that one person had gone out for dinner and brought home his leftovers in a styrofoam &#8220;doggie container.\u201d I\u2019m sure he didn\u2019t have much choice other than to waste the food. That\u2019s what took up most of the space. Extra cans, beer bottles, oyster tins, and other paraphernalia were mostly recyclable or compostable. Several people brought their own bedding. All brought snacks. It was an easy group to host.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.susanvogt.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/Stuff-nothing.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-422\" src=\"http:\/\/www.susanvogt.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/Stuff-nothing-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Stuff-nothing\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>My goal this week was to focus on pre-cycling. The problem is that NOT buying stuff doesn\u2019t make for a very interesting photo. Just so you know, we bought some food for our guests but I didn\u2019t buy convenience foods. Conveniently, I have a husband who doesn\u2019t mind cooking from scratch. I got my sewing machine fixed which will help me mend some clothes and avoid buying more. I didn\u2019t buy those Papas Easter eggs (but I might go back and get a couple of my favorites later :-?) I didn\u2019t buy some fancy paper that I had considered getting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wait, wait, let me explain.
