    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.

    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
