Trying to cut down on plastic without replacing everything I own
I’ve been paying more attention lately to how much plastic I use every day and I didn’t realize how hard it is to avoid.
A lot of my kitchen stuff, food storage, drinks, bathroom products and random things around my apartment are plastic.
I want to start making better choices, but I’m not trying to empty my apartment and rebuy everything in one weekend.
For people who have already gone through this, what actually gave you the biggest improvement in the beginning?
What did you stop buying first?
What did you keep using until it needed to be replaced?
Were there any plastic items you felt were worth replacing right away, especially anything involving food, water or heat?
I’m mainly trying to figure out what is worth caring about first and what I can leave alone for now.
I’d rather slowly make good changes than spend a ton of money and get overwhelmed.
If you were starting over today, what would you focus on first?
