π₯‘ Trying to reduce your food-related plastic waste? π§ π±
Here are three approachable ideas:
Evelyn shares: βI've reduced my use of plastic vegetable bags from the store by washing them after use and putting them back with my grocery bags so I can use them again next time.β
Beth suggests: βI've reduced my use of clamshell plastics, and those I do end up buying I've repurposed for use around the house.β
Denise and Michael's new plan (heavily borrowed from one of our practice group members, Bops): βWe eat out often enough to have take-home leftovers, the containers for which are neither recyclable nor compostable. We decided we could do it differently, so weβve purchased a few stainless-steel containers that we think will work well. We also purchased new travel mugs for coffee.β
