While global warming can be attributed to many causes, plastic use is undoubtedly one of the main causes. You might think that you’re too small to affect global change, but actually all of us just have to start with ourselves today. Have these items on hand to keep your heart warm and the Earth cool.
1. Cloth BagsIf you want to reduce plastic use, you’ve got to have a cloth bag. It’s one of the easiest ways to help the Earth. There are many designs and colors for you to choose from. We urge you to have only enough cloth bags to get you by, because the manufacturing process of each cloth bag also has global warming effects. If we’re going to save the Earth, let’s do it the right way!
2. Reusable Straws
Reusable straws are another must-have item with you at all times. This greatly reduces the use of plastic straws. There are so many designs for you to choose from. For instance, stainless steel straws are now on sale at nearly every store, which usually comes with a cleaning brush. This is certainly another interesting way to save the Earth.
3. Reusable Water Cups or Bottles
When we talk about straws, we can’t skip reusable cups. We should all have our own reusable water cups or bottles so we can stop taking plastic cups from the store. You may choose a water bottle that can hold both hot and cold beverages. Modern designs of water bottles have never been more Chic! Go get one and bring it with you everywhere you go!
4. Food Containers
When we order take-away, we tend to get foam boxes in plastic bags sealed with strong rubber bands. We can refuse to take part in that wasteful habit by bringing our own food containers. There are food containers made of wheat, which offers another sustainable choice.
5. Eco-friendly Toothbrushes
Old toothbrushes that are thrown away have been come a major plastic waste issue. Nowadays, there are eco-friendly toothbrushes produced from bio-degradable materials. Now you can brush your teeth and save the world at the same time!
