I love them, but I'm in the straw loving South so I still get served too many straws since I'm not in the habit of declining them. I'm working on it though!SkipTheBaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02426786864856395559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5882959808811184859.post-82752087028462749022017-03-03T19:29:28.201-06:002017-03-03T19:29:28.201-06:00You're doing it right!

Yeah, I got a lot of looks from people at the grocery store, bagger boys would avoid bagging my stuff, I was that crazy lady with the bags. I abhor Styrofoam and avoid it at all costs, I have a Dollar Store glass plate at work that I use while everyone else is using paper or Styrofoam, I get looks for that too. Glass water bottle, I've got it!, Rtic cup for my Bulletproof coffee from my house, got it! NO Tupperware in the house for the last 12 years. After I helped my mom fill out the MD Anderson Cancer questionnaire and it had two pages about using Tupperware/plastic for food, got me thinking. Make my own cleaners and personal items, check, check. How about re-usable glass or stainless steel drinking straws? Do you do that? I started this practice a few years ago when our daughter was working on private yachts in the Caribbean and told us about all the floating straws out there in the ocean. PS... I hate plastic! judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04070661448170951709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5882959808811184859.post-31997362674412988372016-10-13T10:57:00.342-05:002016-10-13T10:57:00.342-05:00Sounds like you are doing really well!

But if they don't exist, you are doing the next best thing by making your purchases with waste in mind.

We've all given up shampoo - hubby and son water only which I haven't managed, and mainly vinegar for cleaning. I have a shopping trolley and cloth bags so I can shop on foot and take own containers to a select few shops where they now know me. For bulk - we don't really have loose bulk options here so I buy large bags of things like rice to reduce the pro rata plastic and found large bag of couscous in paper ( cheap too as sadly the shop was closing).Busygreenmumhttp://www.allotmentrecipes.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5882959808811184859.post-75722989699510870342016-09-26T15:51:59.184-05:002016-09-26T15:51:59.184-05:00I need to be better about taking containers to res...I need to be better about taking containers to restaurants for leftovers. (And eating less so we have leftovers won't hurt either!)

My husband and I eat out 1-2 times a week, and always have leftovers. That's 2-4 Styrofoam containers every week! Yikes.

I hate, hate, HATE those Styrofoam monstrosities. I take my Pyrex into the restaurant with me. I'll package up my leftovers and into the fridge they go when we get home. I can then heat/eat from the same container for lunch the next day. When it's empty a quick wash and I store it back in my car with one of the 4 corners popped up (for air flow) That way I always have it with me if we decide on an impromptu meal out. Works great for us.<br /><br />Congrats on your waste reduction journey, sounds like you're certainly on the right track!<br /><br />~Taylor-Made Homestead~<br />TexasTexas Homesteaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04875287623361173707noreply@blogger.com
