    I have cut plastic Ziploc bags and plastic wrap out of my household. We're going for reusable containers and wax-paper sandwich bags. Easier than I'd thought!

      Great to hear that you're cutting back! I love using beeswax wraps to replace plastic wrap! They're so versatile and easy to clean, and can be composed at the end of their lifetime
