We hate to bring up breakups this close to Valentine’s Day, but when it comes to single-use plastic, it’s time to call it quits. They`re only used once, but stay in our environment for a long, long time. There are better options out there!
🙅♀️Refuse single-use stuff when you can, like opting out of utensils with your food delivery.
🔄Bring your own reusable alternatives on the go, like water bottles, coffee cups, and shopping bags.
🛒See if your favorite store has a bulk section where you can stock up on stuff in refillable containers. Or go for stuff that isn`t individually wrapped.
🥪Replace baggies and cling wrap with reusable alternatives.
