I could stop buying snacks packaged in non-recyclable containers.

I sew and craft for myself and for others.  I actually find clothing lying around.  I pick it up and wash it.  Sometimes if it is in good condition and I don't want it, I give it to a thrift store.  If it is in not so good shape, I'll fix it and wear it or give it to someone else.  Some times, I will scavenge parts of the article of clothing...

Love cloth napkins and looking forward to trying cloth paper towels

Great!  Less waste and stuff to look through

This is easier now that I am going to the grocery store and not ordering things online.

I always start in the same places - my kitchen and my bedroom.  These areas are actually in good shape and so I don’t find much clutter there.  I need to start in the basement where there is a lot of clutter to clear out.

Shared with coworkers that black plastic is not a recyclable item

Usually, always leftovers first and we prioritize veggies and/or fruits that have a shorter shelf life.

My family of 4 avoids paper plates entirely, but it does get tough if we're having a gathering to celebrate a birthday or something. We just don't have that many plates! In this case, I will try to purchase compostable plates in the future.

Figuring out what I already have that could be used in a different way than for which it was intended
