I used white vinegar in both the washing machine and dishwasher to clean those a couple of days ago, made such a difference.

I had to put bags in the OH's jacket pocket for him to remember to BYOB
Had to nag him about the reusable coffee cup & it helped when the coffee companies gave a pay back. Now he brings his reusable cup everywhere and always brings his own bag to the shops. When the coffee machine died, changed over to a ROK expresso maker which he seems to like.
Also got the OH to move over to tea leaves. He found it was stronger and so was an easy win. Still working on other areas

White vinegar is great to remove scum. Also great for removing the scum in the kettle.

Day 29: Eating out / Take Away
What do you do to reduce single-use in restaurants and/or what do you do to reduce single-use stuff being given to you when ordering a take away? Are there any take away companies that are low carbon zero waste?

In Karlshrue, Germany - ordered a pizza from a company that cycled to our address and delivered the pizza in a returnable metal heat box. We supplied plates for the pizzas which were removed from the metal box and returned to the delivery cyclist.

I thought I'd share this here, even though the month is not yet through.
For most of July, I've been collecting *most* of the plastic that's come from Sainsbury's, where we do the bulk of our shopping. I am someone who actively tries to avoid buying plastic, wherever reasonably possible, so this is a pretty impressive haul of basically unavoidable plastic for leading a normal life with two children.
Some of it is recyclable. Some has been missed and ended up in the recycling or bin (Binks forgets I am doing this). Some, like the milk bottles, have been saved for crafts or reused as bird seed scoops for the feeders etc.
However, the amount that's there for just a few short weeks is pretty phenomenal really. I am not happy. I am going to give it back to them. What else can we do??
