The next step after knowing that plastics are not good for the
environment and yourself is to start to avoid plastic products.
So first of all it is almost impossible to avoid plastic hundred
percent. Here are a few ideas how you can start having a
plastic-free lifestyle.
:) The maybe easiest thing is to abstain from plastic bags. You
don’t need to take every time you go shopping and in every shop
a new plastic bags for your items. Just take your own bag with
you. You may even save money because some shops require money
for a bag.
:) Another easy thing is trying to avoid items which are packed
in plastic. Sometimes there are different Options for the same
product, some are packed in plastic, some aren’t. So just take
the one without. Another advantage is that you are supporting
those products without plastics.
:) Don’t use new plastic bottles. Don’t buy every time you go
outside a new water bottle. Just have one consist out of glass
or even out of non-toxic plastic and take it with you. And again
you can even save money.
:) If you often go to Starbucks or to a similar coffee shop
don’t take every time another plastic mug, but bring your own
reusable mug with you. Starbucks for example has his own
reusable mug that you can buy for little money and you can save
30 cents for every ordered drink. You would save tons of rubbish
if you will do this a while.
:) As an alternative to the supermarket is buying your fruits
and vegetables from your local farmers market. If berries,
cherry tomatoes and Co. are still in packed in plastic boxes,
just take you own reusable box with you or buy the products once
in the plastic boxes and bring them every time again.
:) To avoid micro plastics, try to use only natural make up and
care products. Micro plastics are especially often unnatural
peeling products. Just check out different brands which produce
natural make up and care products. It’s even better for your
skin.
Those are only a few options to avoid plastics but they are
probably the easiest one. So everyone could do something to
reduce the amaount of plastic use.
