What’s In Your Bag? A Month of Plastic-Free Swaps

Cutting down on plastic doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Start with what you carry every day. One swap at a time, one bag at a time.

Here are 30 easy swaps—no overthinking, just better choices:

  • 🛍 Reusable jute bag > plastic shopping bags

  • 🥤 Stainless steel bottle > plastic water bottle

  • 🍴 Travel cutlery set > single-use forks

  • 🧼 Bar soap > body wash in plastic

  • 🍌 Mesh produce bags > grocery store plastic ones

  • ☕️ Collapsible coffee cup > disposable cup

  • 🧴 Toothpaste tablets > plastic tube

  • 🧂 Bulk spices in jars > plastic shaker bottles

  • 📦 Paper tape > plastic shipping tape

  • 🧽 Compostable sponges > synthetic ones

You don’t have to go zero-waste overnight. Just swap what you can, when you can.

Bonus? Most of these save you money in the long run—and make your bag way more functional.

Our go-to? A tough jute tote that carries it all and breaks down in the dirt when it’s done. No landfill guilt, no plastic trail.
