Hello, Steemians! We've done four rounds of nature photo contests, one coloring contest, a help the bees contest, and two random acts of kindness contests. Let's try something new, shall we?

The winner of this contest will receive a share of - upvotes on your posts for life from SBI!
And to continue the tradition, this contest will be judged by my cats. Who better to judge us humans than cats?
no one, that's who
So what's the contest, already?
The objective is to make as little garbage as possible for the next week, and make a post about the steps you took (and put a link in the comments here!). Did you bring cloth bags to the market? Brought jars to the bulk section? Brought a mug to the coffee shop you frequent instead of taking a disposable? Refused a straw or paper napkins or plastic cutlery? Made shopping decisions because of the packaging? Fixed something rather than replace it?
Where everybody is starting from and what they have available to them is going to be different, so that's why we will continue the tradition of cat judging, but you get bonus points* if you make like a zero waste blogger and include a photo of how much rubbish you made during the week! Yes - show us a picture of your trash bag(s) or whatever you collect the trash in!

The idea is for people to reduce their trash from normal, so try and make an extra effort and tell us about how it was different from a normal week.
The contest will end on Wednesday, 4 July, noon MST - so have your posts in by then!
In case you don't follow her, has another round of the #litterwalk contest going right now (which has much bigger prizes than mine, go do it!), which can also be good inspiration for why we need to make less trash!
Ready, Set, Reduce! 🚯
*bonus points: An extra treat goes on the card with your name on it to tempt the kitties to eat your offering first - you win if they eat the treats on your card first. 😸😸
