We all know that the environment is currently suffering – especially under our extreme plastic consumption. Yet, there are a few very simple things you can do to reduce your plastic consumption and help the environment.
-
If you order takeout, do not take any plastic silverware.
-
Don’t use plastic straws. (You can even buy a metal straw if you really want to use a straw!)
-
Whenever you go shopping, use a reusable bag. There are so many cute ones out there.
-
Never use plastic water bottles again. Always use a reusable bottle.
-
Get yourself some beeswax wrap – you can use that instead of plastic wrap and reuse it hundreds of times. (Bonus: it smells so good!)
-
Buy a reusable cup to get your coffee or smoothie. (I have done that before and people appreciate it so much!)
-
If you go to places like “Sweetgreen”, bring your own Tupperware box, so that they can put your salad in there. (I have also done that and they were really impressed.)
I hope these tips helped you!
