Sunday Social: 5 ways to reduce plastic consumption!

We consume Plastic at such an alarming rate, that it has throughout the decade become a major problem, hindering the life of animals and polluting the world. This is because Plastic takes a very long time to decompose. Every brush that we have used and every bottle of water that we have drunk are still in existence somewhere in the world. So we are here to show you the substitutes for using plastic in your daily lives!

Here are 5 ways to reduce plastic consumption at your homes:

1. Substitutes of Dental Care

Many health Organizations are selling plastic-free alternatives. More people are choosing to use toothbrushes that are made from compostable materials such as bamboo.

2. Carry your own Shopping bags

Bring in your own containers and bags to supermarkets for grocery shopping. Also, make sure all the packaging is easily recyclable or compostable.

3. Use organic Beauty products

More people are opting for organic beauty and personal care. Thus we can eliminate the plastic bottles and containers hiding in the corners of our bathroom.

4.Eco-friendly decorative items

Let us all invest our time in some DIY party decors with buntings, tassels, tissue pom poms, fresh flowers, and lanterns. With a little bit of creativity, one can plan a party that is free of balloons and other single-use plastics.

5. Buy food in bulk

Rather than opting out to buy the fine plastic packages goods that lie on the shelves at the grocery, we can begin our plastic-free journey by buying loose foods in bulk. This will also save us a few bucks.
