I really love the idea of reducing single use plastics in my life. What have you done to successfully reduce or eliminate it?

I am finding that there are things that I can replace stuff with but they don’t tend to work as well. If I can get like 90% efficacy out of a more eco friendly replacement then I’m good, but it’s been more like 50% so far.

    But there’s no more hygenic option for cleaning up human waste so… just screwed.
