Reusable Beeswax Wrap
Reusable beeswax wraps are a great way to lower your use of plastics by eliminating plastic wrap. These wraps keep food fresh for longer than plastic wrap and can be used over and over again. When they become gross or you want to replace them you can simply compost them because they are biodegradable!
Reusable plastic bags
Instead of using plastic ziplock bags switch over to fabric or silicone reusable snack bags. These can be found through lots of companies through a google search. You should also consider brining a reusable bag to the grocery store or opting to cary your groceries.
