The guy at the Portland farmers market handed me a bent fork and I changed how I shop

I used to toss every plastic fork in the trash without a thought. Then I saw a booth at the Portland farmers market last month where they weigh your waste, and mine came in at 3.2 pounds for one lunch. Now I keep a metal spork in my bag, and it has saved about 40 forks so far. What small swap actually stuck for you?
