One of the ways that I'm trying to reduce my plastic waste is skipping the plastic packaging for fruits and vegetables. I have some  thin mesh bags that I use and I've been buying different kinds of  food and shopping at different stores to eliminate plastic on my fruits and vegetables.  I may try the year-round farmers' market too. I've been buying in glass when available and reusing the glass jars. I used the plastic bowls from takeout as molds  for stepping stones for my yard; at least they had another use instead of a single one. I'd love to hear how others are eliminating plastic! 

I've been paying attention to this since I read the question above. I live downtown in Wichita and many of my neighbors are poor. I see many of them using styrofoam containers, especially for drinks, because the food waste is  less. They can also refill a drink and use the same ice. Many places have replaced styrofoam food containers with boxes or bags but those still create single-use waste.  It is definitely something that I will think about going forward. 

I bought an organic cauliflower  :)

I have networked with people in my neighborhood to trade herbs and vegetables in our gardens! This helps save everyone money while food prices continue to go up and strengthens friendships with neighbors!
