[QUOTE="Pink Elephant, post: 737437, member: 21572"] Has anyone else made a conscientious effort to reduce plastic waste in their homes? [COLOR=#4d4dff]Yes and no. As far as plastic bags go, I've religiously reused whatever bags I can, whenever I can, so that in itself equates to a reduction in plastic waste in our house, and I try and avoid using plastic wrap.[/COLOR] If so, what have you stopped buying or using in the way of plastics? [COLOR=#4d4dff]Not really stopped buying anything made from plastic, but definitely avoid using the likes of plastic wrap and such.[/COLOR] How about plastic bags when shopping? Have your stores banned the use of plastic bags? [COLOR=#4d4dff]Some have banned the use of plastic, while others charge a premium for such bags.[/COLOR] What about reusable cloth grocery shopping bags? Do you use them? [COLOR=#4d4dff]I do use cloth shopping bags and have done so for a good number of years now.[/COLOR] Is there anything you currently use in the way of plastic things/items, that you have no intentions on ever giving up? [COLOR=#4d4dff]I'd have to say my collection of Rubbermaid and Tupperware. I can thank both of these makers for allowing me to forgo the use of plastic wrap. An ideal way to store leftovers in the fridge, and other prepared food/meals in the freezer.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
