I really love the idea of reducing single use plastics in my life. What have you done to successfully reduce or eliminate it?

I am finding that there are things that I can replace stuff with but they don’t tend to work as well. If I can get like 90% efficacy out of a more eco friendly replacement then I’m good, but it’s been more like 50% so far.

    Shampoo and conditioner in liter bottles, same with kitchen hand soap.

    Paper bags for sandwiches and cheese.

    Reusable glass containers (but we do have to replace the freaking plastic lids sometimes).

    Reusing produce bags over and over until they tear.

    We have not found a replacement for trash bags, doggie poop bags, plastic wrap is irreplaceable for some tasks.

    You aren’t personally responsible for the market of single use plastic crap. Do what you can. Over time you figure out some strategies.
