Bob's actions
Kitchen
Cook a Plastic Free Meal
I will prepare meals at home each day without using any items packaged in single-use plastic.
Kitchen
Go Strawless
I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own reusable straw.
Bathroom
Say No to "Flushable Wipes"
Wipes don't break down in sewer systems, but combine with fat to create massive clogs. I will find alternatives to using disposable wipes.
Kitchen
Choose Reusable Food Storage
I will only use reusable containers instead of single-use plastic storage items (such as plastic wrap, single-use sandwich bags).
Kitchen
Use a Reusable Mug
If possible, I will avoid sending 3 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own travel cup.
Kitchen
Minimize Packaging
I will purchase food items with the least amount of packaging.
Kitchen
Use Reusable Utensils
I will keep 2 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.
Kitchen
Skip Plastic Bags
When possible, I will not use disposable bags when shopping, including produce bags.

I understand that the very large paper mill in Crofton is removing its largest newsprint machine because newspapers are now digital.
In the huge building they will now be making compostable food containers from the Jraft pulp and wooden cutlery from thin wooden veneer.
The capacity to replace styrofoam food containers and hard plastic cutkery in all of Canada is in sight. -

Bob Ostle 7/06/2023 12:22 PMI shopped at Safeway and it was soo rasy to not pit snything in any kind of plastic bag. At home everything in my frige is either in a reuseable container or wrapped in reused aluminum foul which keeps it fresh longer. I food that ends up in the compost or recycle is lower. -
