Seven reusable travel essentials to avoid disposable plastic

And aside from the food, there are all the plastic-packaged accessories like headphones and blankets. But with a tiny bit of preparation and a few basic reusable items it is not that hard to avoid disposable plastic, both during your flight and the rest of your trip.
