Supermarkets could stop offering plastic bags to put the groceries in. Or do what England does; the first plastic grocery bag is free but any extra you use, you are charged for!
Restaurants could take up the idea of offering to put take-out food into containers brought by the customers as a way of reducing the amount of styrofoam containers that are thrown away. Or they could look into more biodegradable containers to put the take-out food in. I know that Foster's was selling rice plates the are biodegradable, and from experience using them, they were excellent; they felt sturdier than styrofoam options and costed about the same. Maybe there are these types of options for take-away containers.
Offices could offer their employees reuseable water bottles to cut back on the amount of plastic bottles and styrofoam cups that are thrown away.
It's the little things that make the biggest progress.
