Zero Waste

Being "zero waste" means that we adopt steps towards reducing personal waste and minimizing our environmental impact.
Our community places a major focus on the 5 R's: refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle, and rot. We practice this by reducing consumption, choosing reusable goods, recycling, composting, and helping each other improve.
We also recognize excess CO₂, other GHG emissions, and general resource usage as waste.

Its all well and good until you try to refill a $10 bottle of hand soap and they charge you $50
Nah I'm in a low income neighborhood and their prices are fair. They seem like good folks.
I gotta try a new place then. I mean, the soap is nice but that was some sticker shock.
Also, put a hair tie or rubber band on the soap dispenser. You'll use the amount of soap you actually need, and your hands will come out cleaner.
Very late reply, but can you tell me more about putting a gumband on the dispenser to use less? I'm having a hard time picturing it. Thanks ahead of time!
So the common plastic pump you see in every soap dispenser has two parts - the part you screw onto the soap container, and the piston thingy, above that, that you push down to get the soap to spurt out of and into your hand.
If you put something above the screwy part, on the lowest part of the piston, you reduce the amount that the piston goes down. And reduce the amount of soap that can come out.
