Alternatives to Plastic Request

[Gail Morton]

Hi folks!

With the upcoming April event for AVTTS, I have a small request:

Could you please take a couple of minutes to email me your three favourite alternatives to plastic; something you use or do almost every day, that you've been able to make a habit out of.

Many thanks!

Gail

using glass containers for leftovers etc

avoiding wrap over sadad etc bowls with reusable tops

shopping bags and not bagging veggies ...

Great question Gail!

Bulk buys: Buying grains, nuts, seeds, coffee beans in bulk, in re-purposed jars, bags or containers

Also, hardware and other goods where possible I choose bulk (nails, screws, etc.), or the product with the least packaging 

Refills-refill laundry soap , dish soap, shampoo, moisturizer at a “re-fillery”!

No packaging- Clothes and linens shopping almost exclusively at Thrift/second hand/consignment  stores

Hi. 

1. I use waxed cloth instead of Saran Wrap; I roll them up and keep them in a mason jar on my counter so I see them. 

2. Use a dinner plate to cover bowls in fridge

3. I seek out the toilet paper sold in paper rather than plastic (it’s sold at shoppers- Royale brand I think
