(M19P4) I practice No-Trash lifestyle. H'bout you?

For some years now, I have been practicing a no-trash lifestyle. For those who are not familiar with this, it means that I do my best to refrain from generating trash. 
 
It was not easy initially, but now I generate perhaps a bag of waste a week, usually bio-hazard waste (such as sanitary items and medical supplies). All the food waste is turned into compost for my little garden, and I barely buy plastic items now. 
 
What do you do to protect this planet?

    How do you avoid the plastic? It's so hard when I have to buy new tools because I only want to buy quality things that last, but they almost always come encased in some sort of plastic coccoon

      It's a new era, and there are a few companies that sell refillable items. They usually come in a biodegradable packaging.

    19.80 - I do not throw food waste into the garbage. I am unable to compost where I live, I just toss food scraps outside for the animals to have (if it is safe).

      19.81 - For example, I do not throw grapes outside by my house where there are a bunch of cats. Grapes (and raisins) are highly toxic to cats.

      That's a great idea. We cannot compost either because of the HOA regulations. But I plan our meals carefully to generate as little wastes as possible, and the rest goes into an ordor-controlled baskets. With plenty of the sun and regular turning, they compose cleanly without much ordor.

    Your idea is wonderful. I try to compost food waste but not easy.
