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!

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.

Carry cloth bags when you go shopping.

Instead of loading up on tons of plastic bags, carry your own bags with you when you go shopping.
