SUMMARY:
– It’s way better to get into the habit of taking a reusable cloth bag when you go shopping.
– To stop using paper cups that go straight to the landfill, carry your own personal mug with you.
– Every time you buy something in a jar from the store, don’t just throw it away afterwards. Wash it out, sterilize it, and reuse it for something else.
– It takes up to 450 years for plastic bottles to break down, so it’s more important than ever that we stop buying bottled water and switch to reusable alternatives.
– Help our planet just by asking café or restaurant personnel not to put a straw in their drink when ordering one.
– About one-third of all food produced in the world for human consumption gets lost or wasted every year.
– Before you buy something new to replace an item that’s broken, see if you can fix it.
– Instead of trying to keep up with new trends that die just as quickly as they pop up, consider buying secondhand clothes at thrift or charity shops
– Switching from bagged to loose-leaf tea will save a lot of waste.
– Sanitary pads are a bigger threat to our planet than you might think. Within 10 years, a woman will use around 2,000 pads.
– Batteries are really bad for the environment because of the chemicals in them.
– Our gadgets contain a variety of precious metals, copper, and plastics, so recycling them helps conserve these valuable materials.
