Yeah no worries, but that comment is...not only just me and what I believe, but its also logic, commonsense and practicality too.

"One man's trash is another one's treasure"

I only ever shop at op shops- except for undies, they do need to be brand new...lol..I actually volunteer at an opshop and the amount of donations is just mind blowing...

When in the supermarket, I only ever buy food that is on-special with a soon expiry date as I HATE wastage of any kind, wash to reuse plastic bags, refuse to use the new cardboard bags that the supermarkets have bought out to combat the plastic waste (great lets chop down more tree to save the earth from plastic...), keeps all of my postage boxes, bubble wrap, etc to re-use, and my flatmate is even saving me all of the silver thermal insulation foil from his pre-made food deliveries so I can use it on my 2nd hand van as insulation when I properly deck it out. and that's just the tip of the iceberg...lol...

Oh and I also have 2 buckets in my shower to collect the water and one small one in my sink and this is the water that I flush down my toilet as I cannot justify literally flushing, good, cleaning water down the toilet. Plus the toilet then smells nice from the soaps and shampoos and toothpaste too!

when I do a load of laundry, I put the out hose from the rinse cycle into a series of buckets and thats the water I use for the next wash and if I don't have a next wash due, that water is used to flush to toilet too.

Some of these are tips learn from mum, others are ones that I learnt when living completely off- grid in the Daintree Rainforest.
