WANT TO REDUCE PLASTIC USE?

Plastics are everywhere and reducing them will take some effort. Since plastics pollute our water, soil, air, ocean and even our bodies, we must do all we can to reduce them. Here are some tips:

1. Take a few days to list all the plastic products you use.

2. Begin to replace items with sustainable items. (Use wood or glass cutting boards — plastic boards shed).

3. Boycott all products containing plastic microbeads.

4. Cook more (means less take-outs and food waste).

5. Recycle properly, repurpose and repair items.

6. Shun synthetic fibers and say no to “fast fashion.”

7. Say no to bottled water and bring your own bottle.

8. Buy in bulk (buy large yogurt instead of tiny cups).

9. Bring your own bags when shopping.

10. Ask manufacturers and policy makers to use fewer plastic containers or wraps.
