PLASTIC PLANET: THE CURSE OF THE CARRIER BAG

Ways to rid your life of plastic:
1. Buy reusable shopping bags - and use them everywhere you shop! I found keeping them in my car is the trick.

2. Replace plastic food containers with glass containers. Granted, the lids are still plastic, but at least it's a great reduction!

3. Switch from liquid laundry detergent in plastic bottles to powdered detergent in cardboard boxes and check out these alternatives to liquid fabric softener.

4. Instead of buying bottled water, carry a stainless steel water bottle and refill it with filtered tap water.

5. Buy whole food, local food, and bulk food to cut back on unnecessary packaging. Grow a garden, join a Community Supported Agriculture group, or shop at a local farmers market instead of buying prewashed veggies in plastic bags — reduces your carbon footprint too.

6. Refill your empty Windex bottles with homemade glass cleaner (made from equal parts tap water and vinegar sold in glass bottles).
