What do you do to reduce your use of single use plastics? (self.asklemmy)

I really love the idea of reducing single use plastics in my life. What have you done to successfully reduce or eliminate it?

I am finding that there are things that I can replace stuff with but they don't tend to work as well. If I can get like 90% efficacy out of a more eco friendly replacement then I'm good, but it's been more like 50% so far.

I have metal silverware in my desk at work. No more plastic spoons for eating my morning oatmeal.

I have the Opinel Picnic+ Cutlery set and it is awesome. It's a Opinel No.8 with a fork and spoon that can slide in, and all kept wrapped up in a cloth. It has completely replaced my need for plastic cutlery while out as I keep it in my man-purse (which is defined as a purse carried by a man).
