Hi sustainable friends! So I am new to the whole low/zero waste lifestyle. I am also a senior in college trying to buy items for my future house so I would like to start out with more sustainable items. So far I have already ordered a few things to help me on my way:

- A safety razor so no more disposable ones!

- Silicone cupcake and round cake pans, so no need for oil or parchment paper

- Silpats

- Cheesecloth bags for produce

- Silicone reusable food bags (like Ziplocs)

- Bamboo travel cutlery

- I already have insulated metal cups

- I make soap, so I will be trying to make shampoo bars

- Soon I will get reusable grocery bags

- Recently I have been buying ebooks over physical books

- I use a water filter instead of bottled water

​

I of course aim to work with what I already have, so I reuse the larger plastic yogurt containers. I also save jars that foods come in, and I try to buy things with minimal packaging. Do you all have any tips of how I can continue to reduce my waste production? Any advice would be very much appreciated.

​

Edited to add: I try to find things secondhand before buying them new. Also the things I am buying are generally my first of that item, for example, I did not get rid of a metal cupcake pan to get a silicone cupcake pan, I just didn't have one to begin with.
