The earth is yours helps to make it greener-it’s the time to say no to plastic
Reports show that our environment is filling up with plastic
and by 2050 there will be more plastic than fish in our waterways. Single-use
plastics bags are a huge part of the problem. The problem is that these bags
contain polyethylene and cannot biodegrade. If they aren't recycled or disposed
of properly, they become pollution to soil, water, air, etc.
This equals
trouble for not only us and our environment but animals and other wildlife as
well. They don’t break down, only break into smaller pieces and they do not
biodegrade within any human timescale. By stopping the distribution of plastic
bags at the point of sale, and motivating people to use reusable bags, we can
stop this pollution before it starts.
The plastic pollution problem can feel overwhelming, but
there are actions we can all take to make a difference. Here are some best
practices we like to share with you to avoid plastic usage from our daily
lives.
Don’t use single-use plastics
This category includes plastic bags, straws, dry cleaning
bags, water bottles, food containers, and coffee cups, etc. Avoid disposable
cups & tableware. Use the compostable kind
Say no to all plastic bags & other packages as far as
possible. Discard plastic bottles at home and switch to glass, clay, stainless
steel or copper bottles. If you are traveling, carry your own non-plastic
bottle so that you can transfer the water.
If you have plastic water filters, switch to clay pots. They
are perfect for summer and naturally purify the water too. Change your tiffin
boxes right now! For kids, stainless steel is safer.
Be conscientious when you shop
When you wash clothing made from polyester, acrylic, lycra,
spandex, fleece or nylon, between 600,000 and 17.7 million microfibers per wash
come loose. Because they are so tiny, water purification filters can’t trap
them. Organic and natural fabrics like cotton, wool, and linen may be the safest
options when it comes to your health.
Choose products packaged in natural materials such as
bamboo, corn-starch, potato starch, cocoa bean shells, glass, grass paper,
wood, cotton, hemp, algae, lignin or mycelium (mushroom). Don’t buy products
that contain microbeads (bits of plastic used as exfoliants). Buy in bulk
whenever possible, and when shopping, bring your own reusable containers and
shopping bags.
In an effort to reduce unnecessary waste, some countries
have placed bans on plastic bags. Start your own cleanup or join an existing
one.
Take a pledge to reduce your plastic use
