In terms of common consumer products?
Dryer sheets, which are typically made from polymer fibers. Use wool dryer balls instead.
Single-use water bottles - just buy a water bottle.
Ziplock bags for food storage - buy some solid, washable food containers with rubber seals. They’ll keep food better for longer.
Also stop using the plastic bags in the produce section at the grocery store - get some reusable produce bags instead. The ones I have are thin mesh that doesn’t block the barcode scanner at the checkout. The only produce I don’t recommend this for is stuff that is typically wet like lettuce.
Basically try to avoid single-use plastics, many are unrecyclable (soft plastics like bags frequently just end up in landfill) or just dump extra plastic fibers into the environment (like dryer sheets). There are good reusable options for most of them.

Weapons
Fish and seafood. There is no sustainable fishery and the oceans are dying because of it.
I’m surprised this is the first I’ve heard of this, are local fish hatcheries not sustainable?
findings
Common amongst the more than 150 studies that concluded hatcheries had an adverse effect on wild salmonid populations were negative impacts such as reduced genetic diversity due to interbreeding with hatchery fish, reduced average size of wild fish, reduced overall abundance of wild fish populations, and reduced fitness for natural reproduction.

Shit you don’t need.
