    I visited scotland for a week, and at the beginning of the trip I purchased a single use water bottle, however I kept this bottle for the enitre trip, and still have the bottle today at home.

    This super bowl, I aimed to use more paper plates, and actual utensils. Plastic utensils, while easier to clean up, can be a large sourse of plastic waste.

    While i wouldn't say this is particularly considered reducign plastic use, I have been more concious of what I put where. Aluminium cans are now alwasy pur in recylcing, and I make sure to only put non-reusables in the grabage. At least I try to.

    Over the weekend, I needed to purchase new spatulas and spoons for the kitchen, so I decided to spend a little extra on a set of bamboo. An image can be posted for those who are interested.

    For lunch I made sure to use a glass container to store my food. Not much else could be done given how little this topic was present in my day.

    What was the hardest item to reduce using or cut out that is plastic? Did you find a way to do it?

    I noticed I use most plastic in food packaging. A good start to avoiding this could be by avoiding buying plastic wrap, ziplock bags and focusing on purschasing packaging that uses more ecofriendly options
