I bring insulated bags to the grocery store. Not only do they reduce my use of plastic bags, but they help keep my frozen food frozen. The few plastic bags I do accumulate throughout the month I reuse as trash bags or recycle them by bringing them back to the grocery store. Even the ones I use as trash bags I often use more as a trash liner to limit how many I use.
My water bottle for exercise is glass. So much better than plastic! Put aside wanting to save the earth, I think it’s better for my body, and water tastes so much better from glass.
Citrus, and some other veggies and fruit, I don’t use plastic bags. Things like bananas and avacados, basically produce with a skin/peel that gets removed before eating.
Recycle plastic bottles, maybe half of what I use. Should be better, but that’s probably about accurate.
I wish where I lived used trash cans and recycle bins. Instead everything is out in plastic bags and left out. Sometimes I think about pushing to change this. I don’t know if they try to recycle the plastic trash bags.
