Unsustainable habits

I don't purchase the reusable bags for grocery stores
and I use the plastic bags
I always forget my reusable cup when I go to get coffee
and my reusable straw
My apartments don't have a recycling program
so a lot of our cardboard boxes and plastic bottles
just end up in the landfill
and as much as I try bring it somewhere else
its too much to bring on a trip so a lot of it ends up being thrown away
so something I used to do was
dumping all my stuff in the recycling
because I figured they would sort it out later
but I realized that just contaminates it
and makes it harder to actually recycle what's in there
so I stopped doing it since
I still take notes on paper
There are times where I wanna go grocery shopping
after class or after work and
I don't have my bag in my car and rather than
going and getting a plastic bag or paper bag
I drive all the way home and back to the store with my bag
just for the zero waste part but
I feel like it is actually worse for the planet because I drive past the store and drive all the way back
sometimes I take too long of showers
like 20 minutes, 30 minutes, an hour
I use plastic bottles instead of reusable ones
