    Try to stop using disposable plastic as far as possible. No cups, bags, spoons, straws. Use reusable bags when shopping, and when shopping, check how the stuff is packaged. Get as much as possible of your stuff in glass bottles, and recycle them. Use waxcloth instead of plastic wrap. Buy larger packages. If you have a cheese or meat counter, get your stuff there. The might even let you bring your own tupperware.

      The problem with waxcloth is you can’t clean it well enough, because no hot water. If I can’t use it on meat or dairy it’s no good for me. Also I can never get it to stay, maybe because I have cold hands. Reusable lidded takeout containers work for most food storage and go in the dishwasher, until they finally fall apart and get recycled. At least it’s better than using cling wrap.

      Your comment sums up what my mom is doing. So I don’t think that I need to reply anymore. Thank you so much!
