I've been keeping an eye on the plastic my house generates recently, and while this 'audit' will continue, so far some of the most common sources of plastic for us are bread bags, laundry detergent bottles, dog poo bags and pet treat bags. So far I have changed the laundry detergent bottles we usually get to the "eco sheets" which come in cardboard envelopes, thus avoiding the plastic bottles that I find are not great to reuse for much else. I've also sourced a bakery in my local area where I will be able to get loaves and skip plastic packaging, and have started practicing a flatbread recipe that even a non-culinary individual like me can pull off. I am currently receiving the waste bags to use for my dog, so far those made of corn or plant starch bases materials seem like a possible alternative to what I currently use. Finally, this weekend I plan to try a number of different recipes of dog and cat treats, in the hop that I can reduce plastic in this area too. my dog i a very picky very stubborn eater, so we'll see how that goes
