[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will always try to pick the lower plastic version. For instance, at the store last weekend I needed both feta and Parmesan. Instead of buying the shredded kind of each, I bought the cheese in blocks, albeit wrapped in plastic, but in a much smaller amount. Same with lettuce, buy the loose or plastic bags not the clamshell.
If a product comes in a plastic or glass container, choose glass.
If I need to buy something like peanut butter or ketchup that has a long shelf life and will get eaten, I will buy as big of a container as available. It’s still plastic but I figure one large is less plastic than 2 mediums.

I use bar shampoo and conditioner and [b]deodorant that comes in a cardboard container from Ethique.com.[/b] All work well.
Buy the Tide detergent that comes in the big orange box, not a plastic bottle.

It’s almost impossible to cut down significantly but you can make small changes that really aren’t difficult.[/quote]

How well does this work?[/quote]
