We’ve been making the switch to using dish rags instead of paper towels, real dishes instead of paper/plastic, and glass water bottles. I hope it’s my lucky day!

I use a stainless steel water bottle when I exercise. Replacing the plastic cup I take to work is my next step, this would be a great head start!

I think this is amazing! I have a 3-year old daughter who likes using straws for drinking. I had not realized how dangerous plastic straws could be. I would love to try these straws for my baby girl; while at the same time, reducing the environmental effects of plastic.

Get a hydro flask water bottle as a great refillable bottle and keeps water cold for 24 hours. Best bottle and I no longer buy plastic bottles. Also get some reusable bags that fold down

Getting rid of unnecessary plastic in your life can be hard considering the industrialized world we live in, but luckily there are solutions! I have been using Glass Dharma straws almost every single day for a least 4 years. I drink my lemon and cayenne water (Healthy Habit #1) with them, I use them in smoothies and milkshakes, I even drink my water throughout the day with them and sometimes travel with them. Recently, I was kicking myself while filming a TV shoot, that I forgot to bring one with me! My lipstick kept rubbing off during the filming and I needed a straw for my water really bad.

Glass Dharma is one of the many companies trying to change the world – they are leading the fight against single use plastic straws and the damaging effects they have on our environment. Glass Dharma makes sustainable, reusable glass straws made of borosilicate glass, making their straws the strongest and highest quality glass straws available.

This type of glass does not leach ANY TOXINS into your food. Hand-made in the U.S.A., the glass straws are microwave and dishwasher safe and come with an unbelievable “Hassle-Free Lifetime Guarantee” – if they ever break, Glass Dharma will repair them or replace them for free. Umm… isn’t that awesome? If you are clumsy like me you’ll definitely use that guarantee 🙂
