Takeout Menus
Just like condiment packets, those paper menus from every single takeout meal you’ve had eventually become a chronicle of your dining exploits. Ideally, you only need a single copy of the most up to date menu from your favorite takeout restaurants. And if you find yourself ordering from the smartphone more often, you probably don’t need paper takeout menus at all, because everything has been digitized.
Old Plastic Bags
Unless you are using those plastic bags for garbage bins and cleaning out cat boxes, there is no excuse to keep a Mt. Everest of plastic under the sink. You should be taking those to a proper recycling spot at the local grocer and replacing them with reusable shopping bags and totes. Not only will you be minimizing your carbon footprint and cutting back on plastic waste, you also cut down on the clutter those bags caused.
