Make a plastic free swap in your home. Swapping a plastic bottle of detergent for refillable liquid or washing powder in bulk in your laundry routine is one option. Switching to bar soap in the shower or a plastic-free toothbrush and plastic-free floss in the bathroom is another great way to gradually reduce plastic in your home.

These swaps don’t have to mean a new purchase, however. Shifting from using plastic wrap to placing a ceramic plate on top of a bowl to store food in the fridge, or transport to a potluck, is a simple yet effective way to reduce plastic and save money.
