Plastic-Free Planet is a not-for-profit organization with the goal of reducing the amount of plastic used daily. There is a growing concern of the plastic waste that is collecting in our oceans, and it is the responsibility of our communities to reduce our plastic use to solve this problem. Here are five ways you can reduce your plastic usage:
1. Don't use plastic shopping bags - Reusable cloth bags are a great way to reduce both your plastic usage, and your long-term shopping cost.
2. Reusable water bottles - Plastic water bottles can be easily replaced with stainless steel water bottles, being both cost effective and eco-friendly.
3. Compost - Composting can reduce the need to use garbage bags.
4. Use recycled or compostable garbage bags - this will keep plastic out of the oceans, or return the bags back to the earth.
5. Buy Fresh Food - Fresh food does not usually come wrapped in saran wrap or in plastic containers.
The environment is ours to protect and our children's to inherit. They need a fighting chance, and these 5 simple guidelines are a great way to start.
