I’ve taken some steps to reduce plastic packaging as well. If you don’t mind online shopping, I get my toilet paper and paper towels from Who Gives a Crap, wrapped in paper rather than plastic, I get compressed powder laundry and dish detergent tabs from Blueland. I also have their powdered windex mix but I haven’t tried it yet so tbd. I get solid shampoo & conditioner bars from Ethique.
I still buy regular milk. Powdered milk is bleh. I think you could get it delivered in glass bottles from Crescent Ridge Dairy, but we’re not big milk drinkers so I haven’t tried that yet.
