Re-useable Plastic is polluting our environment and our oceans. It is up to us to do our part to protect our planet. Below are some simple ways you can get started. "Many cities are becoming proactive on the matter and banning the use of single-use plastic bags, and some even take it farther by banning single-use plastic of any kind altogether." 1. Stop using reusable cups, bags, water bottles, take-out containers & cutlery. "Many grocery stores are opting out of carrying these types of bags altogether and encouraging the use of reusable bags before paper ones. To take this a step further, opt for bag made from cotton or hemp as they will last longer and can be used for something else if they were to break or wear out." 2. Say no to plastic straws. |t’s simple to turn down straws at restaurants, but if you just can’t get past the concept of sipping from a glass — well, they make reusable straws too. There are many varieties available, made from glass, bamboo, stainless steel and silicon." 3. Support businesses that are zero waste. "Many businesses are doing their part to cut back their waste of even become zero waste, by only offering recyclable or compostable products and eliminating their trash altogether." "By choosing to opt out of plastic and having your alternatives ready you are inspiring those around you to see that there are other options and that we can all do our part to make a huge impact." We can all do our part! It’s up to each one of us to take responsibility for our own lives and do what we can to protect our planet."
