I’ve started bringing my own reusable travel cup with me everywhere I go so that when I go out to eat I simply fill up my cup. So far Subway allowed me to fill up my cup for free and Panda Express only charged me 50 cents. So not only am I avoiding using straws but I’m also cutting down on unnecessary trash and saving money in the process! 😊👍
I have been carrying a straw in my purse so I don’t need one when I get drinks while I am out and about. Even though some folks give me a weird look it feels good to know that I am not adding more straws to the environment!
I cleaned up all the trash at the North bark dog park while I was there with my doggie yesterday. I picked up 8 straws, 6 plastic bags, 7 water bottles, and a lot of other stuff. It was really nice leaving there seeing it so clean!
I LOVE my keurig but hate using the plastic coffee pods. I buy bulk coffee in a canister and scoop it into a reusable filter pod. When the coffee canister is empty, I put my used cooking grease in it then recycle it at work.
Took my own cup to the restaurant for a refill, reused a zip lock bag for grapes & a reusable bag for tortillas. Recycled my hummus container - couldn't find a way around that packaging.
I’m going to try this hummus this month just bought at QFC it is cardboard box and I bought 2 of their soups in boxes... will make those plastic free meals easier...
