Cooking from scratch rather than buying food in tins or plastic packages (e.g. oven-roasted mashed pumpkin makes an even tastier Thanksgiving pie than canned pumpkin!)
Buying fresh food (e.g. from vegetable stores, CSA schemes, farmers' markets) and using it up within a day or two, rather than buying and storing food that's packed in plastic
Using a freezer for long-term food storage, reducing the need for plastic-lined tins (frozen vegetables and fruits are generally more flavorful and nutritious than canned ones anyway
Replacing plastic storage containers with glass or stainless steel
Canning your own food: I have begun preserving tomatoes and peaches in glass jars (much tastier than store-bought canned equivalents!) and have even tried my hand at canned fish (salmon with lemon, dill and olive oil - surprisingly tasty). When canning food, however, be careful to follow reliable instructions to avoid poisoning your family with dangerous bacteria. I have used this excellent book about food-preserving.
