Reusablebags shares its list of 10 tips to waste less.  Of course keep in mind their solutions include their products but nonetheless still helpful.  These items can be found in many places and you may even have some already.  Reusing these items instead of buying disposable items will also save you money.

If you’ve not checked out Reusablebags I suggest you do.  They have great items and at the top of the site is a running total of how many plastic bags have been used this year.  It’s amazing how fast that number increases as you watch.
