As my favorite music artist Ben Harper said, “A thousand small compromises equal a sacrifice.”
A few minor changes in your daily routine can make a big impact. I try to do this every day by taking my own coffee mug to Starbucks and even get a $0.10 discount. I look for ways to reduce the amount of waste I create, such as tossing the sandwich from the local deli in my purse versus taking their plastic bag.
