I'm seeing posts about reusable straws almost every day now, which is great! I think it's one of those things that we don't normally think about because single use plastic straws are so readily available and given out virtually everywhere. It's such a simple thing that can actually help quite a bit, but we have to remember that it doesn't stop there. While using reusable straws is a great start, we need to focus on eliminating all single use plastics!

REFLECTION QUESTION
Personal Care That Was a Close Shave

What have you noticed about the economic and social impact of switching to steel razors? Was there ever really a need for disposable razors, or do you think it was just a way to sell more things?

The switch to reusable razors has been amazing! Not only have they been working better for me, but I'm also saving a ton of money not constantly buying disposable one use razors. It is a little more expensive to start out with a new one, but it has already proven to be well worth it!

REFLECTION QUESTION
Family Provide the Alternatives

What single-use items (e.g. straws, coffee cups, vegetable bags, plastic bags) does your family regularly use? What could be substituted instead?

Kaysea Moody 7/01/2019 10:28 AM

My family is huge on plastic sandwich bags, so I have decided to replace the plastic with brown paper bags instead!
