July 26 at 3:04 PMWe took a day and used only pre-collected produce bags and reuseable grocery bags at the store. I had been collecting the produce bags, so it was great to be able to use them all again for our shopping trip, preventing us from getting new ones for every item we purchased!

July 26 at 2:49 PMI keep two sets of utensils, a plate and two sizes of bowls in my office at all times. That way if I forget something at home from washing, I have a back up set I can use still without needing to use plastic. We have birthday celebrations often at work with cake, so I use my own dishes. My hope is that this encourages others to take the step as...

July 26 at 2:47 PMIt can be quite difficult to prepare a meal without plastic. I find breakfast much easier, as I usually eat oatmeal which comes in cardboard.
