They look awesome and also can be used for cooking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/product-recommendations-for-cutting-out-plastics#post-2828599 Fri, 15 Jun 2018 08:36:41 +0000 Mrs D 2828599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I committed to being zero waste with the girls lunches (we're going from daycare providing everything, to me providing everything this fall) so I am making the change from day one.</p> <p>I'm using PlanetBox and LunchBot boxes - I also use these for myself. Itzy Ritzy reusable bags for snacks, sandwiches, etc. And Foogo food jars for warm foods.</p> <p>I also use a lot of Ball Jars around the house instead of plastic containers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/product-recommendations-for-cutting-out-plastics#post-2828584 Fri, 15 Jun 2018 07:56:36 +0000 jennlin821 2828584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, I also found this article from Slate about reusable food bags. <a href="https://slate.com/human-interest/2018/02/the-best-reusable-eco-friendly-food-storage-and-sandwich-bags.html" rel="nofollow">https://slate.com/human-interest/2018/02/the-best-reusable-eco-friendly-food-storage-and-sandwich-bags.html</a></p> <p> I haven't bit the bullet to purchase any yet, but we mostly use pyrex anyways. I'm hoping maybe for my birthday, as we are on a tight budget right now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/product-recommendations-for-cutting-out-plastics#post-2828580 Fri, 15 Jun 2018 07:51:37 +0000 jennlin821 2828580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've started slowly towards a zero-waste lifestyle, and I follow this blog : </p> <p><a href="https://www.goingzerowaste.com/blog" rel="nofollow">https://www.goingzerowaste.com/blog</a></p> <p>She has great information on the 'normal' things, like no more ziplock bags and Tupperware, but she also has specifics and details about cosmetics and cleaning supplies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/product-recommendations-for-cutting-out-plastics#post-2828565 Thu, 14 Jun 2018 22:41:34 +0000 littlehunny 2828565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I absolutely love these etee food wraps! I like that they actually form around food similar to the way plastic wrap would. I find some beeswax ones aren't as flexible.<br /> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Organic-Reusable-Food-Wraps-Total/dp/B077Z1VVLL" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Organic-Reusable-Food-Wraps-Total/dp/B077Z1VVLL</a><br /> I also recently got some Stasher food bags and I use them in place of zip lock bags for my chicken in the freezer. I love that they can go in the dishwasher to be cleaned!<br /> <a href="https://www.stasherbag.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.stasherbag.com</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/product-recommendations-for-cutting-out-plastics#post-2828542 Thu, 14 Jun 2018 18:15:50 +0000 Iced Tea 2828542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use a set of stainless steel straws for our drinks. They come with long brushes to clean the inside. </p> <p>We also have reusable snack bags from bumkins. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/product-recommendations-for-cutting-out-plastics#post-2828536 Thu, 14 Jun 2018 16:21:55 +0000 Modern Daisy 2828536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister just told me about the Lush shampoo “bar” that is kept in a metal tin instead of plastic bottle. I’ve also started buying wooden toothbrushes and have a swell water bottle.</p> <p>What other products do you all use to cut down on plastics? I haven’t tried the lush bar shampoo yet and I’m sure it’s adequate but my hair is color treated and damaged so I especially need heavy conditioners. Any tips for this? </p>
