I really love the idea of reducing single use plastics in my life. What have you done to successfully reduce or eliminate it?

I am finding that there are things that I can replace stuff with but they don’t tend to work as well. If I can get like 90% efficacy out of a more eco friendly replacement then I’m good, but it’s been more like 50% so far.

    We replaced liquid laundry detergent with powered , replaced shampoos and soaps in bottles with bar soap etc. And bought netting bags to replace plastic bags

      I started using those “eco sheets” for my laundry and they work just as well. The big win is the container is the size of your hand and is made of cardboard

        We switched to these also, and they work great. We also tried this with dishwasher detergent, though, and didn’t have as much luck. Maybe it was the brand we chose.
