1Two years ago, Anna decided to stop buying anything that came wrapped in single use plastic.
2She now carries cloth bags, a metal bottle, and her own containers wherever she goes.
3At the market, the sellers know her well and happily fill her jars with rice and beans.
4Her bathroom holds a soap bar, a bamboo toothbrush, and shampoo in a refillable bottle.
5Food scraps go into a compost bin, which feeds the herbs growing on her balcony.
6At first, her friends thought her new lifestyle sounded difficult, expensive, and a little strange.
7Now several of them have proudly started bringing their own cups to the coffee shop.
8Anna keeps a blog where she shares practical tips and honest stories about her failures.
9She believes that a perfect life is impossible, but every small refusal of waste truly counts.
10Her rubbish bin, which once needed emptying every week, now takes a whole month to fill.
