    What single-use items (e.g. straws, coffee cups, vegetable bags, plastic bags) do you regularly use? What could be substituted instead?

    I use a lot of small plastic bags. I would like to invest in some small reusable ones instead.

      Anne, I'm making my own.  I got very light weight (kind of mesh) material, fold it over, sew the bottom and side and you have a bag!  I'm contemplating adding a drawstring but since I'm not very creative in sewing that might not happen.  Haha!
