[quote=Anonymous]Things we have done:
- We purchased a set of Corelle dishes for entertaining.  We purchased inexpensive flatware for entertaining.  All go into the dishwasher and we stop using disposable plates/bowls/cups.  In fact, I recently took the last of our disposables that we had in the pantry on a scout trip where they were doing disposables for a change since there were concerns about shared dish cleaning supplies for mess kits.

- Just in case, like for sending kids meals to camps, we have some bamboo flatware that is reuseable.  We use them about 3-10 times and when we finally have to discard them, they are compostable.

- The kids have transitioned to using bamboo toothbrushes

- We use a mixture of glass storage containers and silicon reuseable bags.  For things that can stain, we put them in glass.  I understand the one PP's concerns about ziplocs.  We do have a small stash of ziplocs, but we've cut down our ziploc bag usage by about a factor of 20.  And we wash and reuse most of the ziplocs that we do use, so we get multiple uses out of them before we finally do trash them.
