How often do you use single use plastic?

Question

Single use plastic includes plastic straws, disposable coffee cups, plastic grocery bags, plastic food packaging, plastic utensils, disposable plates. Anything that is made of plastic that is made to be used once then thrown away.

Answer

We have next to no plastic coming into our house. 
I work as a bartender and will not give a straw unless someone asks. The owner tried to force me to give everyone not drinking beer a straw. I simple said “no.”

Answer

Well I don’t use plastic water bottles, I can’t stand using straws, I don’t use paper plates or utensils. The only thing I would say I use frequently is food that is packaged in plastic. Is that something you can help? I mean a bag of rice is in plastic. How do you avoid that?

Answer

I did a beach cleanup on Earth Day. The number of straws we picked up was crazy. I’m buying myself a “final straw” from kickstarter.

Answer

I use it as little as possible. About a year ago I switched to bio degradable dog waste bags and I am happy they have those. Using plastic bags to pick up something bio degradable was weighing on my conscience. I don't use plastic bags and I have reusable water bottles and coffee containers. I think the only plastic that comes in my home comes in the form of things like laundry detergent and stuff like that but I do recycle everything and reuse wherever possible.

Answer

Ik I already commented but I just wanted to say that just with this post, I went to amazon and bought a shit ton of eco friendly stuff for like $100 😂😂😭 I didnt mean to actually place the order but whatever lmao

Answer

Pretty much never. I can’t think of any time when I’d need it and a lot of it isn’t allowed where I live anyhow

Answer

I buy Dunkin’ Donuts iced coffees about 3-4 Times a week. I’d use a refillable cup but they don’t give you the option, and I need that sweet nectar of the Gods. 
I’m not sure how to totally avoid plastic food packaging. I have no control over how companies make their products available. 
Otherwise I don’t use any of that.

Answer

I use plastic shopping bags for rubbish/carrying random stuff. I reuse plastic water bottles, the coffee cups I get are usually recyclable and I bought a pack of reusable straws a while ago and use them if I want a straw. I don't really use the other stuff on the list.

Answer

I try to be aware and conscious about how much plastic I use. Like I use a reusable water bottle, I bring my own cup to star bucks when I go, I try to remember my grocery bag or just go bagless if it’s not to much stuff... but I definitely could and should be better about it all

Answer

More often then I would like but I've been cutting down wherever I can.
