10 Easy-to-Do Tips to Reduce Your Plastic Use ā»ļø
Breaking news, the coastline of Guatemala has become a plastic wasteland. All because we use an astonishing amount of single use plastic (139 million tons, in 2021, of which only 10% of that was recycled). So it shouldnāt be a surprise that by 2050 our oceans will host more plastic than fish. The good news? Weāve compiled 10 tips & swaps for using less plastic in your day-to-day life thatāll add up in the long run.
Get rid of your shampoo bottles and try these 100% plastic-free shampoo bars.
Avoid the produce aisleās plastic-packaged veggies and grow your own veggies with this easy countertop garden
Cook at home more; the average delivered meal will use around 2.8 single-use plastic items.
Switch from plastic toothpaste tubes to plastic-free bits
Youāre probably already doing this but, avoid plastic shopping bags, try these colorful reusable alternatives instead.
Bring your own cup to Starbucks. Why? In 2019, 4.2 billion disposable coffee cups were sold in the UK alone.
Switch to online banking; paper accounts for ~26% of landfill waste and each sheet of paper requires 2-13 liters of water to make
Ditch the cling wrap (which canāt be recycled) and use aluminum foil instead, or even better, beeswax wrap.
