I keep all my shopping bags and boxes in my car.

Omg my shoulder and upper back was hurting sooo bad from this car accident that I was in 4/2024 and I couldn't even lift a 5 pound bag of empty plastic bottles to put out for trash day. My son will take out the trash from now on, my mother had to take out the trash for me. Kisses and be blessed.

Supermarkets all well reusable canvas bags for $1 which you can get credit for bringing your own bags. Use them instead of basket when you shop. They are stronger than the one use plastic bags they give you. I always keep them in the car so I don't forgot them.

100% cotton t-shirts are inexpensive and easy find.

So many of these ideas are so easy to do, but so easy to forget. It takes a little discipline.

Great video! I am curious how do you reduce microplastics from drinking water, do you filter your tap water or use spring water?

We reuse plastic bags from bread or bagels as our produce bags.

Hi

I liked the video.
I just want to understand how do I curtail using plastic for fish & fresh meat?

Thank you so much for keeping this short and useful!

[robertwaynecook]

Thanks for some solid ideas! I am doing some of these but trying to learn more!

Thanks for this video. I don't specially do it for ecology but mostly because being in contact with plastic as a whole is a lot worse for health than you might ever imagine. Messes up your hormones and everything. Please get rid of pl*stics

Great tips, but would include using "laundry sheets" to wash clothes, no more large plastic containers & they really get clothes clean. Order online.

This was very awesome, thank you for sharing your tips!

You should have added swapping a cartridge razor for a DE razor, especially for men. Not only are they plastic-free, but also (imo) much better and waaay cheaper!

Really great video. Very inspirational!

[deetrvllife]

Even starting with one tip is a step toward less plastic in my life! Thank you for making me aware of ways to do that! I wonder if a test of some kind has been created that will measure how much plastic is in our systems. Would it show in our blood, cells or liver?... I wonder!

[maribelpotter]

Wonderful sweetheart I didn’t know how to start thank you so much for sharing your valuable ideas 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Period waste suggestions would cut so much more waste than pen suggestions.

I like the fountain pen idea. Had not thought
of that one but I love nice stationary anyway
