T
his year, I’ve really tried to step up my game in the REDUCE, REUSE + RECYCLE department. I’m dedicated to cutting plastic bags out of my grocery experience. Even when I forget my bins, I pack everything back into my cart and load my trunk with the loose items. When I get home I load them into the bins for the trek in. It’s a pain but I am remembering more and more. Reducing plastic in other areas of my family life has been a relatively easy task. We just had to commit. Straws are a big one. Anytime we would go through a drive-thru, I would decline straws and there was a collective whine from the back seat but that too is becoming easier. I remind them that straws aren’t good for the environment and they seem to be content with that! At home we have purchased stainless steel straws that are still fun and easy to clean with the little brush.
