Would you like to learn some simple tips on how to reduce single-use plastic “on the go” and make more sustainable choices in our daily lives?
Here are some easy ways to get you started:
BYOB (Bring Your Own Bottle): Ditch plastic water bottles and embrace hydration happiness with your reusable water bottle. Coffee lover? Bring your own insulated cup to skip the to-go coffee cups that create landfill waste and toxic microplastics.
Pack Your Own Snacks: Avoid single-use plastic packaging by prepping your snacks at home and carrying them in reusable containers or snack bags.
Say No to Straws: Invest in a reusable metal or bamboo straw, or opt for the paper options now offered by most New York establishments.
Choose Reusable Bags: Keep a foldable reusable bag in your purse or backpack for unexpected shopping trips to avoid using plastic bags.
Opt for Sustainable Utensils: Carry reusable utensils like a bamboo fork and spoon set or a spork for eating on the go instead of using disposable plastic cutlery.
