Our society seems increasingly reliant on plastic – especially in the kitchen. Unfortunately, this product has damaging effects on the environment. But thankfully, it’s often much easier to replace in our daily lives than we think. Instead of plastic bags, try using mesh ones. They are cheap and function better. Try steel and glass canisters, bottles, and containers instead of plastic ones. And, whenever possible, reuse the plastic you already have instead of buying new items. This will be good for you and for the environment.

Key Takeaways:

• Scientists predict that by the year 2050, our oceans will contain more plastic than fish.
• Instead of using a plastic lighter, buy a box of kitchen matches.
• Conditioner bars last longer than a bottle of conditioner, plus they’re better for your hair and there’s no plastic bottle to throw away.

“If want to make a difference — or take baby steps towards making a difference — you can start with actions like replacing plastics in your own home.”
