It's hard to reduce consumption of plastic, but why does everyone have to get everything single serving? I try - and I'm not perfect - to at least use every plastic thing twice (if I get a plastic bag at a store, it lines a waste paper basket, e.g.) So in theory, that at least halves my consumption.

It would be great if there were more degradable plastics, too.
