I am thinking of starting to make my own reusable bags from donated bits of material (shirts, curtains, bed sheets etc) from freecycle websites. And seriously limiting my use of plastic bags.
I use my 'bags for life' for the food shopping. But any other plastic bags that make their way into the house are used daily when I empty the cat litter tray...alternative suggestions welcome.
The kitchen bin is lined with a plastic bag that is emptied every few days.
We have a food recycling bin in the kitchen for scraps and tea bags. This is biodegradable though.
My other plastic confession is straws. Whether it's at home or when I'm out, I prefer to drink through a straw. I'm thinking if getting a 'proper' one at home to keep and wash each time. And will have to have some self control when I'm out. Unless anyone has any words of wisdom to make me feel less guilty lol xxx
