Soemthing that my family and I have changed over the most recent years is that we have now started to use reusable water bottles. Years ago, I made it a habit to buy a giant case or cases of water bottles and I just added those to my kids backpack everyday. That has now stopped a few years ago. My kids love picking out their own creative water bottle each year and have that to use throughout the year. I also made it a habit for myself to have a reusable one and it would make me get up and get my steps in at work every couple hours. I of course have th giant ones! We also added a filtration system in our house and we don't buy water bottles from the store anymore. It is super convenient to have water by the sink or from our fridge. My family is so used just filling up our waters now it has turned into a daily habit and routine. No more water bottles being lost, drinking some one elses by accident and most importantly not having to use more plastic on this earth! Day by day we reduce the use of plastic in our home every way we can. I love being able to instill these habits in my kids at such a young age so they can carry this on with them in their adolescent and adult years.
