I saw a piece about this on the news last week. I try and make some products myself, but not everything. If we're going to buy things like dish and laundry soap, moisturizers, etc., we should be just refilling the containers we already have -- instead of adding to the #PlasticWaste problem (at least not right away). And I like using glass and metal containers personally. Jelly jars have so many uses!

#PlasticPollution is a bi-partisan issue. Hopefully.

In the meantime, if you've got one nearby, be sure to patronize your local #ZeroWaste or #Refill shop.

What other ways do you avoid single-use #plastic in your life?
