Refill
Use your old pasta jars or large containers to fill up on what you need, whether it’s food or household supplies, and skip the unnecessary plastic waste
Why Refill?
Refill isn’t just limited to refill stores, where you bring a reusable container for cleaning supplies and shampoo, or the bulk section at your grocery store. Think of refill more broadly as finding ways to use what already exists instead of reaching for something new or single-use. That could mean bringing your own mug for your to-go coffee, dining in instead of getting takeout, or refilling a water bottle while you’re out and about. It can even mean “refilling” what you need by borrowing tools or supplies from a neighbor or checking them out from your local Library of Things.

Rent It
Tool Libraries and other rental options are another great way to avoid single-use items. If you only need it once, don’t buy it; borrow it.
