    I read the book "Plastic free: and how I kicked the habit and How you can" - actually I owned it for a long time before I read it, assuming I was going to be beaten over the head and preached at. This book isn't that, it (to me) is an incredibly impressive story of someone who decided to use no plastic in her life. She started back in 2005 or something like that ... before it was even a thing.

    She doubles up on the 3 R's ...

    Start with Refuse (as in "Say no" rather than garbage!)

    and

    Replace - with something non-plastic
    Remember - when plastic wasn't omnipresent
    Repair
    Report - she has taken issue with companies - e.g. the plastic filter cartridges in Brita water filter jugs, which she successfully persuaded to take back for recycling, until then they had been use-and-chuck
    Rally - problem too big for one person? Well then you need more than one on your team :)

    and most important, she says, is "Realise"

    Thanks - great and informative post. Going to try this - as I cannot find quality plastics to use multi-year.
