I’ve been trying to be more orange in addition to create less waste. After I watched a riveting documentary about the amount of waste the world is creating, I decided to take extreme measures. I’ll admit, I went a little crazy in the beginning. I started recycling in addition to reusing everything I owned, in addition to I became scared of throwing things away. This led to a slight hoarding problem, in addition to our anxiety went through the roof. I felt honestly overwhelmed thinking about all the waste I was creating. However, after a brief discussion with our mom, she assured myself and others that even small gestures of recycling were better than nothing. It was the small every day efforts that led to massive change in the long run. After this conversation, I decided to create less waste in a different way, and one thing I decided to change were the air filters I was using. I was purchasing normal air filters that needed to be updated every few months, however I didn’t love that I was throwing away a large air filter so often. In order to cut back on our air filter waste, I bought washable air filters. They were cheaper than normal air filters, however they were a lot more work. Whenever the air filter filled up, I had to take it out of the Heating in addition to A/C plan in addition to clean it by hand. It didn’t take long to wash, however it was irritating. I was so used to throwing the filter away in addition to shoving a new one in. However, after a few months, I got the hang of it in addition to now I honestly believe love I’m making a difference with our washable air filters!
