I went on a binge at the beginning of the year ridding our house of plastic toys, plastic dishes, plastic sippy cups, plastic 5 gallon water containers, ect.
I bought a Klean Kanteen sippy cup and one for me and my husband.
we are very much trying to reduce our family's need/reliance on plastic.
I cringe at the thought of our water being stored in plastic. My recent endevour is to get our local springs, highbridge, to deliver their spring water in their glass containers. Meaning, this water goes straight from the spring to the glass jar. Maybe it's a little more expensive but I think it is worth it for our health.
As far as toys we got rid of all the plastic sing songy crap. I did keep the fridge and farm phonice because Solomon has learned so much from them. Basically, we have wooden building blocks my husband made, a wagon, dolls, puzzles, books and balls.
I ordered a book on how to make knit toys. I recently received it in the mail. There are patterns for balls, dolls, monkeys, blocks, ect. I am into this idea.
We are in the process of a move and when we unpack I am sure I will be giving more of his toys to the goodwill.
Oh, and as far as food storage containers, I have been buying glass containers and pyrex to store/freeze food.
Off topic here, but I recently also switched our family over to recycled toilet paper, which reduces our need to cut down more trees for ass wipe! Would it be gross to switch us over to cloth wipe? I use it for Solomon. I am seriously thinking about it.
