REFLECTION QUESTION
Waste Skip the Straw

How could you incorporate other "R's" -- reduce, reuse, refuse, repair, repurpose, etc. -- into your lifestyle?

I am looking for ways to keep single use plastic out of my home by how I shop. I no longer buy fruit packed in hard plastic trays. I take my own small nylon bags to the store to avoid plastic bags for fresh foods. I use bar soap. But I am looking for ways to stop the flow of plastic bottles into our home.
