Getting comfortable

Karin:
Starting to get comfortable now... the excitment of the project has kind of worn off a bit, I'm still keeping at it but because it has become second nature I find it totally unexciting. But to give some idea of what's going on; I was on a detox last week (only fruit and veg) wich made it very easy cause all the garbage I produced was fruitpeel that went straight into the copost bin (balcony compost is dead, it got full before anything had a chence to happen). Spent two days in Stockholm and Uppsala trying to find the perfect jeans shorts for the summer, didn't find any... But when I got back to Munich I found a pair of jeans that I had forgot about. Chopped the legs off and voilá! The perfect jeans shorts and no purchase, I was happy.

Allright, that's it for now... will try to get the excitement back maybe I'll have a look at what happent with Krystals "closed loop project"...

Daily disaster

Pernilla: Yes, at work every day looks like this. Every hour, actually.

It's so hard to think before you do stuff (like buying fancy tea bags because you get an interesting range of flavors and the package is pretty.) Then you sit there with the leftovers. Should of course not have bought it in the first place. Meaning: Picking one big jar of tea, not trying out all the flavors. Not as fun.

Reducing waste is quite often about reducing choice or reducing fun. It's probably about increasing something else as well - quality perhaps, or feeling good about yourself, I don't know. Anyway, it's tricky.

Not to mention all the paper I trash at work. What can I do about it? Not use paper = not doing my work, or annoying the others, or wasting time by doing some kind of workaround.
