Keeping your yard or neighborhood free of litter is not only making the area more presentable but it is also a source of pride and ownership in your community.  If you don't take care of your yard/neighboring areas, you cannot expect someone else to do it.  I have a lovely neighborhood with older trees and with everyone being home, yards have more plantings and are well maintained.  Seeing trash or plastic bottles and cans along the walkway or yard, takes away from the beauty of the area.

Many restaurants are no longer offering straws automatically, you have to request them.  Sometimes they are already on the table (wrapped in plastic!).  I do not use them or I will refuse a straw if offered.  Now and then I get a Frappacino and forget to bring my own straw.  I need to be better about bringing my reusable ones with me for that reason.

Have to admit I had not given much thought to disposable razors and assumed (like everyone else) that they would be recycled.  Apparently, they are not!  I have taken steps to shave less (laser hair removal for my legs was done a long time ago thereby only needing touch ups).  I still buy disposable razors but not as often as the average woman since I only need to touch up now and then.  I am also using hair conditioner in place of shaving cream so that eliminates an additional expense and container going to a landfill.

Instead of buying new plastic liners for my trash bins, I will often use plastic bags from Target or a grocery store.  It might mean changing the liners more often and discarding smaller items, but it's a way to repurpose the plastic bags when I shop.  Because of COVID, many stores will not allow customers to bring their own re-usable bags to the grocery store so if I am given plastic, I find a 2nd use for those bags.

I appreciate having a local farmer's market where I can purchase unwrapped produce every weekend.

Before finally tossing something like a bag, box or plastic container, try to repurpose it so that it is used more than once.  You can even re-use rubber bands from celery purchased at a grocery store or that come with a floral arrangement, for instance.  When I have stray ribbons from packages/gifts, I use them to tie my garden plants to stakes.
