    I did:
    1. stop using liquid shampoo and body soap etc. and started using soap bars - easy
    2. try using re-usable kitchen clothes than tissue papers and make-up cotton - This was tough and I couldn't make it. I went back to make-up cottons but now using 100% cotton without plastic.
    3. stop using paper(acutually plastic) sanitary napkins and tampons but use menstrual cup - Half successful. I was able to reduce the usage amount but still rely on tampons when working from office due to toilets not always easy to use menstrual cup.
    4. stop using plastic wrap but bee-waxed clothes and silicon re-usable wraps - Half successful. I am mostly using silicon re-usable wraps but not able to get rid of plastic wraps entirely.
