Rhett and Amy talk about solid waste and the preferable choices to recycling. Think recycling is the way to go? The answer might shock you. This week’s project focused on the oft forgotten ideas of reducing and reusing. Intrinsic to this is adopting a DIY lifestyle where you control the amount of final packaging because you make as much as possible. Since the DIY food production projects together would be too much for one post, they will each be covered in coming episodes. Stay tuned to see how easy it can be to provide your own necessities!
