Single-use plastic items are common in everyday life. Some are recyclable. Others are not due to size, contamination, or material types. Sadly, sometimes these items make their way into the land and waterways. Are there better solutions? What about reusables for to-go, refillables for home goods, and refusing those extra forks and spoons?
