The document discusses reducing packaging waste by eliminating packaged foods from one's diet, shopping in bulk sections of grocery stores, reusing containers, and comparing previous waste levels to new practices. The author's previous waste included cereal, grains, flour, soda, junk mail, and grocery bags. By ditching plastic grocery bags, using bulk ingredients, and reusable containers for meals, the author was able to eliminate around 40% of grocery waste. The ultimate goal is to raise chickens and goats to further reduce waste.
