Good article! We have been reducing plastic more and more through the years. I do still get plastic grocery bags at the store on occasion because of their other uses. I do not buy garbage bags, I just have smaller trash cans and use the grocery bags for my trash bags. That means taking the trash out a bit more often, but hey, that just means more exercise! I used to crochet a bunch of the plastic grocery bags into heavy duty reusable totes and have donated them to auctions as well as have a couple for my own personal use. Most of the time though, I get paper bags at the store because I have many uses for those too in the garden and around the home.
I used cloth diapers with my kids and make my own cloth feminine products - another good thing to add to the list.
A couple other things on that list are new to me and a bit shocking. Good thing I do not buy commercial gum (I actually chew frankincense and myrrh resins instead) and make my own all natural skin products. Now I have even more reason to continue doing so!
Fabulous! I really like your enthusiasm saving plastic in your everyday life, amazing that you even made your own diapers. Most importantly you are aware of the problem and use plastic consciously. Keep up ur endeavors, I'm glad there are more and more of us out there :) @raincountry
