Social Design-Social Ethos, Creative Caffiene

When consuming, I like to think that I make educated choices. When purchasing food, I try to think about waste. Instead of buying the large package that may be cheaper, I try to think about what I will be able to eat by myself. For example, I buy the carton of 8 eggs instead of 12, knowing that I will not finish a dozen before they go bad. When my vegetables appear to be turning, I try to cook and freeze them so they do not spoil before I get to eat them.
When making my initial purchases, I try to pay attention to the packaging. A good example is soda (which I do not typically buy, but if I were to buy soda) it is less wasteful to buy 2 liter bottles than to buy small bottles or cans. Cardboard is better than styrafoam, etc.
Though my intentions are good, it is oftentimes difficult to stick with these concepts. the best I can do is try to follow them myself, and to spread the word to others.
