I personally try to reduce as much plastic as possible in my life, but it is overwhelming at times because everything comes in plastic. I do not ever take a plastic bag from a store - I always take a cloth bag or carry my purchase out without a bag. This has taken a while to become a habit, but it also makes me more aware of everything else that doesn't really need to be in plastic. I went into a popular bath soap and lotions store and wanted to buy some bars of soap - nope, it's all liquid in plastic bottles! I realize it is convenient, but I grew up using bars and still do. I like pretty little soap dishes with pretty bars of soap. Please at least recycle any and all plastic you get.
