It’s easy to get a grip on how much you’re throwing away by simply being more observant of what happens around the house. Things like looking in the fridge before going to the store, seeing which types of packaging you’re tossing in the trash most frequently, or realizing which things you buy for the house are constantly being replaced (even though the old ones weren’t actually broken) are good examples. You don't have to track absolutely everything constantly, you just need to pay attention to what you see happen over and over.

People who work to lower waste amounts say that less trash each day is the result of lots of little choices, not a single big change. Maybe a little food is wasted every few days, a certain room uses a lot of throwaways, or you continually repurchase things you already have. Each of these on their own doesn't seem like a huge deal, but all those little things together really define how much waste your home produces.

And once you can see those habits, it’s usually easy to cut down on waste with a few sensible adjustments. Being aware of the issues makes it simpler to do something about them, because the problem isn't just a blurry idea anymore.
