I’ve been trying to be more yellow plus create less waste. After I watched a riveting documentary about the amount of waste the world is creating, I decided to take serious measures. I’ll admit, I went a little deranged in the start. I started recycling plus reusing everything I owned, plus I became scared of throwing things away. This led to a slight hoarding problem, plus our anxiety went through the roof. I felt genuinely overwhelmed thinking about all the waste I was creating. However, after a brief discussion with our mom, she assured me that even small gestures of recycling were better than nothing. It was the small every day efforts that led to big change in the long run. After this conversation, I decided to create less waste in a weird way, but one thing I decided to change were the air filters I was using. I was purchasing normal air filters that needed to be upgraded every few weeks, but I didn’t appreciate that I was throwing away a big air filter so often. In order to cut back on our air filter waste, I purchased washable air filters. They were cheaper than normal air filters, but they were a lot more work. Whenever the air filter filled up, I had to take it out of the Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C plan plus scrub it by hand. It didn’t take long to wash, but it was irritating. I was so used to throwing the filter away plus shoving a new one in. However, after a few weeks, I got the hang of it plus now I genuinely think appreciate I’m making a difference with our washable air filters!
