reduce, reuse, _then_ recycle.

It's better to not use, or to reuse, then to try and recycle something. Despite the fact that it contains a "recycling" logo, the logo is really more of a indication of which plastic it is, rather than whether or not if it'll ever _actually_ be recycled.

Of course, you can eliminate doubt by just not producing the waste to begin with.



I have trouble keeping up with different folks approaches from comment to comment.

The other guy mentioned using some that are recyclable so that’s why I mentioned that.

Beyond that what am I supposed to do make a pot of coffee that mostly I won’t drink?


you can purchase drip machines that make single servings.

I use aeropress with a steel filter, which makes a single cup and produces no waste. It does take a little more effort than popping a kcup in a machine, but not so much to deter me from making coffee.
