1.Plastic is a special challenge because it is not biodegradable and, as a result, persists much longer than other types of rubbish (up to 1,000 years longer). And we're not only referring to those who throw their trash overboard.
What is biodegradable?
2. Biodegradable materials are those that break down quickly when exposed to bacteria, fungi, and other living things. Typically, biodegradable materials include those that are used on a daily basis, such as food waste, tree leaves, and grass clippings.
3. Grocery bags, plastic wrap, disposable cutlery, straws, and coffee cup lids are just a few of the everyday products made of plastic that we use only once before throwing them away. Keep track of how frequently you use these things and switch to reusable alternatives. Before it gets ingrained, it just takes a few occasions to carry your own bags to the shop, silverware to the workplace, or travel mug to Starbucks.
4. Even while the tiny plastic scrubbers in body washes, toothpaste, and other beauty items appear to be innocuous, their small size allows them to pass through water treatment facilities. Instead, use products that contain natural exfoliants like salt or oats.
5. Making your own food is not only healthier, but it also eliminates the need for takeaway containers and doggy bags. When you do order takeout or go out to dine, let the restaurant know you don't need any plastic flatware or, for some major bonus credit, bring your own food storage containers.
6. Encourage your elected officials to introduce or support legislation that would make using plastic bags less attractive, like those in San Francisco, Chicago, and almost 150 other cities and counties.
7. Consider the product-to-packaging ratio of the goods you frequently purchase and choose the larger container rather than purchasing multiple smaller ones over time. Single-serving yogurts, travel-size shampoos, and tiny packages of almonds are just a few examples.
8. Invest in a zipped fabric bag and ask that it be used to return your cleaned belongings rather than being wrapped in plastic. (While you're at it, make sure you go to a dry cleaner that doesn't use perc, a hazardous substance that is present in some cleaning solvents.)
