    Bringing your own bags and containers to the grocery store, and even to restaurants for leftovers, are a couple of ways to reduce your waste. What single-use items (e.g. straws, coffee cups, vegetable bags, plastic bags) do you regularly use? What could be substituted instead?

    I try to avoid single-use items as much as possible. Cultivate to use a eco-friendly reusable items. for eg: Ceramic/Stainless steel cups for coffee/tea. Cloth/Jute bags for Groceries etc.
