I have significantly reduced the use of plastic in the kitchen over the past few years.
* Only metal or glass containers (sometimes with plastic lids)
* But fresh vegetables/fruits (95% of these are not covered in plastic) and grains/spices from bulk barn (take your own glass containers and fill them up).
* Meat and dairy comes in plastic wrap or bottles. But I am hoping to find a butcher who will let me take away the meat in my own glass container. Also searching for a good exchangable container milk+yogurt store.
* Have reusable bags for groceries that last many years.
There is still quite some plastic used, but I am probably close to the 10th percentile when it comes to plastic usage.
