If you’re trying to cut back on the plastic in your life, here are a few tips to get you started:
- Using a plastic water bottle? Use a metal or stainless steel one.
- Using a plastic spatula? Try using a wooden spoon instead.
- Using plastic containers? Use glass ones.
- Buying ready-to-drink juice? Buy frozen concentrate, which is less expensive and usually comes packaged in easy-to-recycle cardboard.
- Using a plastic cutting board? Try bamboo.
- Still getting plastic bags from the grocery store? Use cloth bags.
