Many things actually. I'm in the process of degoogling and ditching ms office. Ditched reddit. Ditched discord. I'm also ditching android apps and switching to FOSS versions if i can find them. And today i ditched Startpage. I just found this article about them: https://restoreprivacy.com/startpage-system1-privacy-one-group/
I'm also trying to get rid of plastic and replacing plastic things if i can. So, no more plastic cutting boards, switched them for glass ones. Dental floss in a cardboard box. Things like that.
True. I failed to mention i also have a wooden cutting board for my more expensive knives.
Everyone should, imho, have a plastic and a wooden cutting board.
Wood for non meats (basically plant stuff and breads), plastic for meats.
Plastic for meats because, like wood, it doesnt murder the knife edge, and can be put n the dish washer to be sanitized, and is cheap enough to throw away after it gets beaten up to the point that you cant clean all the nooks, crannies and gouges anymore.
You can cut meat on wood boards, but its much more difficult to clean them afterwards since you cant throw them in a dishwasher.
But, if you insist on a wood board, bamboo is a good choice since its more resistant than typical wood cutting boards.
No need for a plastic board if you're boycotting meat.
Better than glass.
Handwashing doesnt fully clean a wood cutting board after meat. After you hand wash it you gotta spray it down with a sanitizing agent like dilute bleach solution or a vinegar solution, let it sit for several minutes, and then wash it off.
