Oh, believe me, Kath, I try.
- I have my own shopping bag, but I use the shopping bags to clean up after my dog.
- I don't shop at bulk stores for 2 reasons: I'm by myself so most of what I buy will go to waste (food), or I don't have the room for storage (non-perishables). Both of those make it very difficult.
- I have a Contigo coffee mug that I use, and if I drink from single use containers, it's from an aluminum can.
- I can't remember the last time I had a straw.
- Due to my dog's messes and diet, I need the bin liners so I don't get rotten stuff at the bottom of the can.
- I do use reusable containers.
- I do recycle everything I can.
