We should go back to glass instead of plastic bottles. A lot less energy intensive to recycle glass, and can be reused. Food companies have deemed too costly. On the topic of plastic bags we 100% eliminated their use in our household over a decade ago. We bought tough canvas bags and they are great (similar to the tough canvas material that beach bags are). The stupid bags sold at stores made out of recycle plastic bottles fall apart and end up in the landfill.

unless your water heater is old AF, as in 30+ yrs old, it has plenty of adequate insulation, even enough if it's in one of those utility closets that's off a balcony like you see in older apartment buildings.

you don't get a skyhigh gas bill due to a water heater, trust me
