We’ve all heard the phrase, “Prevention is the best cure.” This applies to reducing waste as well! By using reusable products, you’ll emit little or no footprint! This is how:
Buy reusable batteries! Re-usable batteries cancel the need to throw away precious metals, some of which are toxic! If you really need to buy normal batteries, then make sure you recycle them with a local electronics recycling program!
Take only what you need! Rather than taking a handful of napkins, take one! Rather than grabbing twenty straws, use one! Or better off, don’t use single-use items! You could use a mug instead of a plastic cup, or a china plate instead of a plastic one!
BYO bottle! Plastic bottles are extremely bad for the environment, and using one every single day adds to the ever-increasing amount of seabirds and marine creatures choking on plastic. Why not use your own bottle? You could save an innocent life.
Rather than purchasing fast fashion, select clothes that are long-lasting. About 85% of all textiles are thrown away each year, so maybe don’t over-purchase!
As always, spread the word!
