It's not that hard. Bring your own cloth/hemp fiber bags to the store. Refuse plastic bags. Buy a few Life Factory glass water bottles, keep one in the car, and stop buying drinks in plastic.
More importantly, put the burden of recycling back on the companies that produce the waste. The bottlers shifted this burden to consumers decades ago; instead of accepting returns, they campaigned for the end user to be responsible for recycling. Sheer madness.
