I have two of these questions actually.
The first is; a few plastic bottles or a ton of aluminum cans? DH is a soda addict and I alternate between the 2L bottles and the cans. I get the cans when they are on sale b/c I know aluminum is 100% recyclable, whereas plastic isn't. But the cans can be soooo expensive when they are not on sale, and we end up with tons of cans. And no, asking DH to give up the soda habit isn't an option
Second: a plastic broom that last years or a wooden that has to be replaced often. I chucked the plastic broom last year for an all wood one in an effort to reduce the plastics in our home. Only problem is, now the straw bristles are already wearing out and the broom is going to need replacing soon (I sweep at least twice a day, see the dogs in siggy, LOL). I had the plastic one for about 5 years before it was worn out. So which is better?
I would love to hear everyone's opinions.
