We definitely need to give Swiffer an honorable mention. Dust in your house? Why not clean it up and create an enormous pile of trash at the same time!!!

It's not clear to me that you're saving much of anything by using, for example, a washable duster versus a disposable duster. It takes a lot of water to wash things at your home. It doesn't take very much water to make a box of disposable dusters. Etc, etc.

K-cups are decidedly bad, because they waste plastics which are non-renewable. Dusters could be made, today, using only renewable resources.

I googled around and it seems the swiffer cloth has never been compostable.

As in it's made of plastic? Ooof, I retract my statement.

Well water isn't trash, so just by virtue of producing the swiffer it's creating more waste than the alternative.
