1. A set of glass straws — if you currently use plastic ones, just think of how many you'll be able to replace when you upgrade to these beauties.
2. Or a set of stainless steel straws great for stashing in your purse or backpack so you can always refuse a plastic one at the restaurant or movie theater.
3. A pack of three reusable plastic K-cups that, besides just saving plastic, will also save you lots of money because you don't have to keep buying the refills.
4. A small snack-size reusable bag, so you can get all the functionality of a regular plastic bag with none of the waste.
5. And some silicone lids that stretch to fit over all shapes and sizes of dishes, replacing a bunch of plastic wrap and foil with something reusable, flexible, and just plain useful.
6. A basic reusable water bottle if you don't have one already, because just think of how many single-use plastic bottles it could replace in its lifetime!
7. A pack of four silicone lids to cap off your daily medium-sized coffee from your favorite barista.
8. A pack of six scrubbing sponges that are 100% compostable and biodegradable, unlike that regular brightly-colored sponge you've been using for years.
9. Some bamboo toothbrushes so you can shine up your smile without contributing yet another big piece of plastic to your local landfill.
10. Or these toothbrushes — they're made of 100% recycled plastic *and* you can mail them in after you're finished using them to be recycled again.
11. A vial of silk dental floss because, yes, that classic brand you've been buying from the store for years is just one long strand of plastic.
12. A pack of colorful pens that are manufactured with 89% post-consumer plastic — the success of the recycling industry all depends on economics, and choosing products like this helps in some small way to create the demand for more, well, recycling.
13. Six wool dryer balls so you can still soften your clothes *and* enjoy that clean laundry day smell, without tossing a polyester dryer sheet in the trash.
14. A pack of two travel flatware sets (complete with their own protective pouches!) because there's no need to trash some disposable plasticware each and every time you eat lunch at work or a dinner at the airport.
15. A collapsible silicone microwave popcorn maker perfect for movie night — just pour in some kernels, add a little (optional) oil, and two minutes later, you'll be stuffing delicious handfuls into your mouth.
16. A few certified compostable sponge cloths that absorb 20 times their weight in water, making your days of endlessly replacing that empty roll of paper towels (where do they go so quickly?!) a thing of the past.
17. Minty gum made with a base of tree sap (aka chicle) — many regular brands mix plastic into their base — so you can chew 'til your heart's content, knowing it will be completely biodegrade when you're done with it.
18. A pack of three makeup remover cloths that take every bit of product off with just water and a few swipes, letting you ditch those disposable wipes while still embracing your lazy side.
19. Of course, some reusable produce bags because they can completely eliminate those flimsy plastic store bags from your life basically forever.
20. And three extra-large cotton grocery bags, so if you don't have enough reusable shopping bags already, you can go with something incredibly functional.
