How you can help!
Reduce
-
Try to purchase a portable bamboo mug, I know they exist because my dad has one!
-
Do the research. Don’t fall for advertising that tells you that bottled water is purer or safer than tap. If you are concerned about your tap water you can obtain a water quality report for your area and buy a water filter if necessary.
Reuse
-
Invest in a BPA-free reusable bottle. Carry a refillable, BPA-free bottle when you are on the go, and refill it whenever the option arises.
Recycle
-
Efficiently. Work out which plastics your council recycles and sort them accordingly.
But above all, reduce. Think of the whales and albatrosses and buy fewer plastic products in general, particularly when you know that you are unable to recycle them. It will probably have a much larger and positive impact than you think.
