In my family, we started to minimize use of plastics. We provide reusable tumblers for my toddler in going to school, either way we put water or juice in it. Also, we let him bring his own "BAON," a little snack pack instead of junk foods. We do give him biscuits and cookies too. A friend of mine sent me metal straws, we currently use it everytime we dine outside. You know kids, they dont drink at a glass without straw. Good thing, this stuff are handy and they come with a cleanining brush made for small holes such as straws. We are slowly evading plastic in our own little ways.

I think the deed must start at the family. I have a sister in law who is a great advocate on using less plastic. She has founded a community that creates products such as the bamboo straws, bamboo charcoal toothbrush and shampoo bars.

I am tagging my sissy @twodorks to take actions too! hahaha
