What do you carry with you? Here are some suggestions. It’s easy to cut down on disposables if you plan ahead. In your car you should keep reusable bags so you don’t have to take plastic bags when you shop. After you unload them, hang them on the front door to remind you to bring them back to the car. Also carry a traveling cup for coffee or a drink when you’re on the road and a stainless steel bottle for water – it’s better for you and the planet to avoid plastic bottles.
Carry a set of reusable utensils to keep from using plastic ware that after you use it will just sit in the landfill for hundreds of years. Wrap them in a towel or napkin that you can use instead of paper products. I also keep a reusable container to bring home my leftovers from restaurants – way better than plastic foam.
