We learned in previous posts that plastic consumption create a huge problem for our environment. Sometimes we do not know where to start or are even wondering if we can do something to solve the problem.
What we can do starting immediately is to refuse plastic whenever possible.
5 steps to refuse plastic while you go grocery shopping:
Bring your own shopping bags!
Don't buy bottled water! If you don't like your drinking water you can buy a water filter (non -plastic one) or cook the water and make a pot of tea.
Buy fruits and vegetables that aren't packed in plastic! Do not use the small plastic bags in store to pack them! You can wash the produce once you are home!
Buy pasta, rice or other grains in paper boxes instead of plastic packages.
Buy milk bottles in carton boxes instead of plastic jugs.
If you'll do all of these steps you will be amazed that you bought less things in plastic.
Most of the plastic is for single us only and doesn't get recycled easily!
You won't need to give up much, but each of your actions count for our planet earth.
