    Plastic bottles/containers also leach toxins especially when getting warmed up or chilled.

    By setting the example whenever having a neighborhood get together. By offering to bring biodegradable cutlery along with my dish and arriving on time so plasticware doesn't go on the table in desperation! By brining our own to neighborhood gatherings!

    Unfortunately most of it - celophane or plastic wrappers - are not even recycleable.

    Less synthetics purchased, decreases demand and less synthetics are made that pollute water, air and soil. Natural are more healthy on your skin.

    I do it for fruits and veg, but I need to get up earlier, so I have time to hand pack my son's snacks and drinks, rather than using the pre-packages ones.

    Less plastic and more healthy eating fresh rather than pre-packaged that have perservatives added.

    If you are prone to bringing home leftovers from eating out - bring your own tupperware to restaurants!
