Nowadays, plastic is pretty much everywhere and the non-biodegradable substance is killing millions of creatures on the planet. What most people don’t realise is that a lot of oil is also being used to manufacture the vast amounts of plastic we use, causing further harm to the environment. Here are some clever ways to cut down your use of plastic. Because seriously, it’s not fair that a fish has to die every time you go grocery shopping. Make your own juice. 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!

Carry your own water with you.

Instead of buying a plastic bottle every time you’re thirsty, make it a point to carry your own bottle with you.

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.
