I DIY'd a toilet tank bank to help save water per flush! Just fill a bottle of water and secure it in the tank of your toilet. It helps take up space so less water is used to fill up the take each time!

My biggest struggle: redusing bag usage. I always forget to not ask for plastic bags. I have a small reusable bag I have to find again.

https://www.harvie.farm/ - Farm Share from the Home Show. It was a bit expensive, but totally worth it if you want to support local farms and get fresher ingredients!
https://www.pghhome.com/ - Home and Garden show happening now at the David L Lawrence Convention Center in downtown. They had tons of booths not just for home and garden but also for volunteering, outdoor activities, and local food stuff, too. Plus, I Am Sustainable Pittsburgh had a booth there too!
