All through July I am posting ideas for reducing plastic in our lives. These are small swaps and purchases you can make that will make a big difference to the earth 🌏 and often to your hip pocket 💰 too!
#plasticfreejuly Swap Number 14
🍞 \\ buy BREAD from bakeries and places that package in PAPER // 
🥖
Or take your own bread bags! Check out CookwowzAprons for handmade bread bags. Or make your own bread!!!

Reducing paper is also important. It’s better to not use it, than have to recycle it. But in this case, if you’re buying bread then asking for paper is a better alternative.
Uses for your bread bag paper after you’ve eaten your bread:
🥖 Reuse it next time
🐛 Line your compost bin with it and throw it in the compost 
🌱
🗑 Line your bin with it, instead of plastic bags. You can also use newspaper to line your bin

🥪 Wrap your sandwich in it. If you haven’t purchased a Snack Taxi yet!

🎁 If it’s clean, wrap a present in it and add some nice recycled ribbon
