Oh well, I think I did a great job here. I never buy bottled water cuz I always bring my reusable water bottle with me;) Also, I will reuse the plastic bag that if I took from supermarkets for carrying dirty stuff like wet clothes/ shoes after gym. But sometimes it is really hard to bring my own carrier bag when I am buying something that I didn’t expect.
