When going out to eat, I carry an airtight metal camping container in my bag to avoid styrofoam and plastic takeout boxes for leftovers.
Helps keep my food super fresh and avoids unnecessary packaging. Also, naan bread for the win.
MOUTHWASH
New zero-waste bathroom addition! DIY mouthwash with three ingredients: baking soda, water, and essential oils (food grade). At least I tried not to make a mess with the mini funnel. What products do you DIY?
