You’ll drink more water which is good for your body AND less plastic will be going to landfills. Plus these make great holiday gifts ? ?Refuse the straw! Grow up and just drink out of a glass ? Shoutout to all the restaurants and bars who only do straws by request. ?Request no silverware if you’re ordering takeout to your house. (And reuse your plastic takeout containers!!) ?Do everything you can to lessen online shopping!! OR consolidate orders to one shipment/package when the option is available. ?Reusable grocery bags - this is common sense for anyone in the city since these bags are usually stronger than store given ones anyway. I keep some in my car, bottom of my work backpack and in my house so I’m less likely to forget them! Also, fun fact, plastic bags, films, and labels are not recyclable through normal plastic recycling streams because they are not dense enough and get “skimmed off” during the recycling process. Instead, use store drop off programs for these if you must use store bags. This week, I challenge you this to think about other easy ways to refuse and reduce plastic in your day to day! ?
