]]>Single-use plastic items are the first that need to go. From water bottles to straws and bags, think of ways to replace such items with eco-friendly alternatives. Start taking a reusable bag with you when you go grocery shopping, get a reusable cup for water and other drinks, and when you absolutely have to use single-use items, go for those labeled “compostable”.
There are many companies that use the already accumulated plastic and recycle it to make new, long-lasting products. Make sure you’re supporting such companies so they could continue to do the good work.

]]>By now, we all have a drawer full of reusable bags in our kitchens. The challenge is to remember to bring them when you shop. Always keep a few in your handbag or in the trunk of your car in case you spontaneously head to the supermarket. Don’t forget to bring smaller bags for fruit and veg as well.
For cheeses, meats, and bread, head to the Deli Counter. Here, you will get your produce in a paper bag rather than in sealed plastic.
Products that use no plastic are stamped with the Plastic Free Trust Mark. Keep an eye out for it and choose these products when you can.
If you are truly committed to the cause, look up your nearest zero-waste shop and do your shopping here. All food here is brought loose.
Finally, spread the word on your environmental efforts. It’s not about boasting or guilting anyone into reducing their plastic, it’s about encouraging one another to make the world a little greener, one plastic-free shop at a time.
