2 stories about waste.

1) At that sangria-soaked bbq a few weeks ago, I somehow brought up that I save grocery bags to use for vegetable scraps so I wouldn't waste plastic, and someone was mentioning that they did the same thing, and so did their grandmother, who was actually more extreme than them; they remember once how she saved a wrapping from a store-bought apple pie to use for a waste bag, even though apple pie filling was caked all over the sucker.

2) Since it's a bad idea to waste potable water - so much energy has gone in to making it potable! - I now am very careful to only pour myself as much water as I am going to drink at once, so I don't dump the rest down the sink.
