When Eating Out:

• Take your own containers when ordering takeaways from somewhere that uses plastic (eg Indian), or find a takeaway joint that used eco-friendly packaging
• Take your own container/s to restaurants for any leftovers
• Carry reusable utensils such as bamboo or your own stainless steel cutlery from home when eating at places like food halls and when eating takeaways away from home.

Drinking on the Go:

• Keep a reusable travel mug in your car at all times, as soon as it's been washed put in straight back in before you forget
• Keep a reusable coffee mug on your desk at work
• If you're going for a takeaway coffee while at work and have forgotten your reusable mug just grab one from the staff room
• If  you forget your reusable mug when ordering a coffee ask for 'no lid'
• Carry a reusable water bottle with you at all times or use a glass at your desk instead of the plastic cups
• Say no to a straw when ordering cold drinks or carry stainless steel straws with you.

Snacking on the Go:

• When ordering ice cream choose a cone over a tub
• Look for a local sausage sizzle
• Buy from bakeries, cafes, etc that use paper as opposed to plastic bags
• Choose food that isn't pre-wrapped.
• Take your own snacks in a non-plastic container or wrap them in honey wraps.

Plastic Free Travelling Kit:

It's best to be prepared in advance, then you never get caught out.  Have a kit set up in your car ready to go!  I've set up a kit that has:

• Enamel cups
• Cutlery, in a pencil case
• Containers for sushi, food court, or doggy bag food. I love the U-Konserve stainless steel ones, they are so versatile. 
• Stainless steel straws
• Fabric serviettes
• And of course, there's always a picnic blanket in the boot just in case.
