Actually, maybe I’ll start earlier than November. Here’s the plan:
I’ll document all plastic that I come across. Some will be unavoidable. I’m going to switch to milk in a carton, but they have small plastic spouts.
There is some plastic I don’t know how to avoid, or I’m not willing to.
Here are the things I will still buy:
Spinach (I have never seen it not wrapped in plastic)
My contact lenses
Honey Bunches of Oats (my mom thinks it’s waxed paper and not plastic. We are gonna test it when we get home. See if it burns or melts)
Grapes (produce bags are the devil, but they’re already pre-packaged. Should I put them in my own cloth bag and abandon the plastic one?)
Red bell peppers (I buy them super discounted in bulk. I eat so many, it makes sense.)
Yogurt (I’ve never seen it NOT in plastic.)

I’m also going to continue to use:
Deodorant
Shampoo, conditioner (but I won’t purchase anything new)
Vitamins (I will buy new ones)
Medicine (I’ll try to reuse the container)
Tupperware (cause we already own them)

I’ll write more when I’m home from Florida and have my computer.
