It’s already non-stick so you’re just wasting the “Pam” anyway. 14- Bottled Water: Don’t buy it. Get a “Brita” or “Pur” faucet-mounted water filter and fill up 1 gallon jugs to be placed in the fridge. Tap water isn’t cold enough for me and this is a great solution. Help keep millions of water bottles out of the landfill, it’s an enormous trash generator that people largely ignore. One faucet-mounted filter can replace 750 sixteen ounce single serving water bottles! 15- Repair It: Broken electronics do not belong in the trash, they...
