11. Think reusable
Buy stainless steel water bottles for everyone in your home and take a coffee thermos to work so you can avoid those individual water bottles or plastic coffee cups.
12. Make your own condiments then store them in glass jars or reuse plastic containers
13. Invest in a water filtration system for your home
14. Always carry reusable cloth shopping bags.
Keep a stash in your car always. Some are even small enough and can fold up to be smaller than a sandwich. Keep one in your purse so no matter where you go, you have at least one handy for shopping or unexpected purchases.
15. Shop at Farmer’s Markets
Bring your own bags and save some big bucks. Read more about a new type of store in Germany.
16. Pack your own lunch
Use steel lunchboxes or reusable glass containers and put your lunch items in reused plastic bags or other types of containers.
17. Bake your own bread

18. Bring your own container to the deli or butcher when you buy meat or cheese
19. Make your own cleansers for the home and put them in repurposed containers
