I’m pretty careful, but not as much as I probably could be. I try to buy products that are in glass or have minimal packaging, and bring my own refillable beverage bottles instead of buying bottles or cans whenever possible.
Our community recycling doesn’t require separation, which is convenient; but they only take 1-PETE and 2-HDPE, which leaves out yogurt cups (5) and plastic shopping bags (4). Granted, I bring my bags to the market, including reusable cloth produce bags, but sometimes I forget them (I’ll get paper if they have it), or I get the bags from other shops, so they still accumulate and then I forget to bring them to the store to leave in the bin there.
I put all our junk mail in recycling (accepted by our community) and all paper – cereal and tissue boxes, rolls from toilet paper, flyers and pamphlets handed out at events, shoe boxes, the paper from packaging from any products we buy (even the price tags on clothes), etc.
The samples you give are mostly not on the plastics that our community recycling takes, so those do end up in the trash. I tried to get my cats toys made out of natural materials so they will be biodegradable. I try to avoid junk, clutter, and tchotchkes not only because they’ll wind up as landfill, but because many of those knick-knacks are made in places where there are no labor or safety regulations. I try to vote with my dollars, because that means more than a vote in the ballot box in our current system.
