DON'T USE PLASTIC BAGS

If you are, for exaple, at the supermarket don't accept them, they are very dangerous for the environment and probably the primary cause of the plastic pollution

DON'T DRINK DRINKS FROM PLASTIC BOTTLES

Plastic is a difficult material to get rid of. For this reason it has negative effects on the environment. Plastic bottles pollute from all points of view: for production , for transport and for its elimination. Also microplastics are present not only in the oceans, but also in rivers, soil and air, producing serious consequences

02.

The plastic of the bottles ensures its safe only if the liquid inside does not reach high temperatures. In fact, heat alters the properties of the plastic, releasing substances that are dangerous to health into the water.

We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors – we borrow it from our children.(Native American Proverb)

"Economic growth and environmental protection are not compatible. They are the opposite sides of the same currency if you are looking for long-term prosperity"

Henry Paulson

USE BIODEGRADABLE PLASTIC

03.

The bags, even if biodegradable, once they are used they always turn into waste. However, they have a less devastating environmental impact than traditional plastic bags. Usually, biodegradable plastic bags are bioplastics made from petrochemicals

USE REUSABLE BAGS

Whe have to save the enviroment!

04. Use reusable bags

Reusable bags, mado of fabric or other materials, such as juta, available in different variants such as resealable shopping bags or whasable bags, are very simple to usse and they take up little space; they are much more effective at the enviromental level. In addition to convenience, a reusable bag should last 4 years and shoul replace yhe use of 600 disposable bags

05

USE METAL WATER BOTTLES

The motivation behind choosing a reusable water bottle is mostly based on environmental factors. Plastic pollutes. And bottles can take up to 1000 years to be disposed of, if left in landfills. Avoiding the classic plastic of water bottles allows you to prevent the negative reaction of the material in contact with heat sources. In addition, the quality of the water on sale is not superior to that of the water available in our homes, in fact, the opposite can happen often

DON'T BUY FOOD IN PLASTIC PACKAGING

Points of sale that allow you to buy detergents and food in bulk are spreading rapidly, even in the smallest towns. Lots of supermarkets, for example, now all have a service to buy detergents and cosmetic products without plastic packaging.They are also rapidly updating with regard to bread, cereals and other types of food.If you want to live without plastic, the first thing to do is in fact to reduce packaging for these product categories. You will see how much less rubbish you will throw away.
