[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We've been reducing plastic bottle waste from our house. This is thanks to the zero waste store near my house. I refill shampoo, conditioner, lotion, and liquid soap (castille soap). The store lets you choose whatever scent you want for the lotion, I love the rosemary and the lavender. The lotion is really rich and good. I use very large pump shampoo and lotion bottles from old plastic purchases and have 3 of each. I use large castille soap bottles to refill. When I go, I fill up 2 or 3 so I have backup to store when I need it. It costs about $100 a trip. I use the liquid soap to refill hand soap dispensers at home. I don't want to add any plastic bottles to the landfill/oceans. I absolutely make buying decisions based on packaging and so do many people I know. When I see ads on TV for household or personal care products or especially [b]bottled water, tea or sports drinks,[/b] I just see plastic bottles washing up on a beach. I'm not having anything to do with it. I found this website for shopping lower waste in the DC area: https://packagefreedc.com/where-to-shop/ I'm looking for ideas on reducing berry and veggie plastic waste. The farmer's market seems like the best option but I don't always get there each week. Also trying to get in the habit of sticking a tupperware in my bag when we go out to eat for any food we want to take home. [/quote] I actually stopped buying drinks other than tea leaves. I drink water from my faucet. [/quote]
