Description of Action:
Angelique Devost has been on a mission to reduce waste for many years. Because Devost Design is a home-based business, there is an overlap between her personal and professional waste reduction efforts. For example, items like tea and snacks (such as nuts), are purchased in bulk in her own glass containers. These containers were originally purchased containing food items such as honey, jam, peanut butter, etc. Angelique also keeps a Terracycle "All Your Waste" box on hand for items such as pens, PUR water filters and packaging that cannot be recycled curbside or at the plastic film drop off at the local supermarket. These efforts have enabled Angelique to reduce the amount of garbage placed at the curb from one tall kitchen trash bag per week to one very small bag every 2-3 weeks.
