Then photograph, tally, and post it here. What can we learn about our habits and lifestyles by examining our waste? And what changes can each of us make to leave the planet a little less trashy?

For the most environmentally friendly (ie no BPA used during the paper recycling manufacturing process), check out Bumboosa, made from bamboo, also packaged plastic-free. 
I understand tofu is really hard & time-consuming to make. Check into if any local Asian markets  or health-food stores have it in bulk; I’ve found two in my town, and bring my own container.
