How are you reducing your use of plastics?

Asked by canidmajor (21525points) 2 hours ago

I am working on seriously reducing my use of single use plastics these days. Even the “recyclable” ones often are simply not recycled.
I use laundry sheets and lately, hair care product bars, make my own mouthwash, bug repellent, various body products. I very rarely drink stuff in flimsy plastic bottles, and try to do the kind of food prep that avoids plastic stuff.
I understand that in the Great World Effect, what I do makes virtually no difference, but I feel better not contributing to the problem in a day to day way.

GQ. This is something I’ve been serious about for years. I also try to buy things in plastic as little as possible.

I also use laundry detergent sheets. I haven’t bought a plastic jug of laundry detergent in many long years. For many years, I bought powder in a box. The detergent sheets are wonderful.

I’m very curious about your mouthwash. Please share.
