Plastic You Can Do Without. Small Changes For a Cleaner Environment

We know plastic is so harmful to the environment and still we continue to use a tone of things made from it, disposing of them mostly after one or only a few uses. We could easily dispose of these habits instead. If we make the responsible choice every time we are faced with it, we’ll see how our waste reduces dramatically right away and in time we’re bound to make a difference. There is a lot of plastic you can do without and easily replace without sacrificing resources or comfort.

Plastic bottles

We buy a lot of mineral water in the summertime and, unfortunately, most of it comes in plastic bottles. There are two or three producers nevertheless who also sell in glass bottles, even returnable. So why not choose these products?

Plastic you can do without. Tea bags

Many disposable tea bags contain plastic. It’s a completely pointless use of plastic when a zero-waste alternative is just as easy. Buy loose-leaf tea in a reusable container and steep it in a metal strainer.

Plastic bags for shopping and the garbage bin

Line your garbage bins with homemade newspaper bags, so that you’re not tempted to accept plastic bags at the grocery store in order to reuse for this purpose. Use newspaper to pick your dog’s waste and toss into the trash. And go shopping with some fabric reusable grocery bags.
