• Leave reusable bags in front seat of car as a reminder to take them into store.
• Keep a reusable bag in your handbag or work bag so you’re not caught without one.
• Use a reusable coffee cup when you get coffee on the go.
• Bamboo toothbrushes biodegrade quickly after use, a great alternative to plastic.
• Use reusable produce bags.
• Skip the straw.
• Use shampoo, conditioner, and dish soap bars to eliminate plastic containers.
• Switch to a metal razor instead of plastic razors.
• Use tooth powder or bites to eliminate plastic toothpaste tubes.
• Ladies, switch to menstrual cups; tampons are the fifth most common plastic found in oceans.
