#4: Say No to Plastic

By now, we all know that plastic is terrible for our environment. You may think it’s okay to use recyclable plastic products, but did you know that most plastic isn’t easy to recycle and reuse? It mostly just winds up in our landfills and doesn’t break down for thousands of years. So it’s best to avoid plastic as much as possible.

Fortunately, you can avoid plastic most of the time. When grocery shopping, bring reusable bags or request paper bags if you forgot your own. You can also purchase products packaged in glass jars instead of plastic ones. Reducing plastic pollution can be a significant step in improving our environment.
