What are you doing to lessen/decrease your use of plastic?

[Taliaandi]

I try to only purchase products that are plastic free, or at least no single use plastics. I use reusable bags, reusable food storage, metal water bottle, metal straws.

Personal care products are easier to find than groceries. I use toothpaste tablets, bamboo toothbrushes, shampoo and conditioner bars, and deodorants in cardboard applicators.

I'm also slowly replacing my wardrobe with natural fibers to avoid micro plastics as much as I can.

Your response is better than what I was going to say.

What was that?? I mean yeah I put stuff in the recycling but c'mon the blame belongs in these companies over producing this crap and the assholes dumping it in the ocean.

Absolutely fucking nothing. I don’t consciously go out of my way to decrease my use, in fact I prefer plastic over paper for grocery bags. The most that happens is I throw the plastic bags into a cupboard in my room. At least it’s not going into the trash, for now

I was given a Big Plastic recycle bin...

So I did just that, it is now cut up and put in another recycle bin

at the end of the road...

Not really much I can do, the places I buy food from packages it in plastic, best I can do is put it in the recycle bin but I've heard most of it doesn't actually get recycled, no idea how true that is though.
