Mostly disassembling and cleaning / dusting / changing filter or descaling (humidifier, coffee maker, water heater, steamer).

I can't substitute some of the international products that come in plastic packaging with local bulk items (like fresh italian pasta). not the same taste. Also, most of the cheeses come in plastic packaging to preserve the freshness. until we develop new sustainable packaging to preserve the quality of long-distance shipped food products some of the plastics are here to stay:(

its more convenient for everybody. but convenience is not always a solution.

Got a drying rack for $12 in IKEA. Made of steel, not plastic. Works great, take zero space when stored.

Natural fabrics (besides feeling luxurious) are healthier for the skin, and natural fibers tend to regulate body temperature better than synthetic ones, keeping you cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter and make you sweat less:)

The production of natural fibers tends to have a lower carbon footprint than synthetic fibers, which are made from fossil fuels (looking at you, polyester). Growing plants like cotton and flax (linen), or raising animals like sheep for wool, or harvesting silk, typically produces fewer greenhouse gases than producing synthetic fabrics.
