Just imagine how many millions of plastic bottles are being thrown every day! Instead of buying soft drinks or juices, make your own juice at home and carry it around in a glass. It will probably be much healthier as well. You’re probably wondering why juice is on the list, since it comes in a cardboard box. Don’t be fooled – that cardboard is lined with plastic to prevent leakages!
5. Use reusable containers instead of cling film.
Instead of wrapping food in cling film that you will use once and throw away, opt for reusable containers instead. Carry your lunch in a steel box or a paper bag, whichever is easier.
6. Avoid buying yoghurt pods.
Instead of buying a small yoghurt and then throwing away the pod, make your own yoghurt at home! If that’s not possible, then buy the larger sized containers, since it works out to less plastic overall.
