d it pains me greatly to see other animals hurt because of what we humans do and create i am not a zero waste person yet and i m not sure it ll ever get that far but i do try and i think it s a step in the right direction i buy shampoo bars organic soaps and detergent i ve tried making my own but that failed miserably i m also a flexitarian i eat meatless about 5 days a week unfortunately i don t like vegetables and the alternative option for meat such as quorn and soy are quite expensive and come in small plastic containers you can t buy in big bulk where i live i have cloth shopping bags and whenever i can i bring my own containers to the store though quite frankly most refuse to use them adjusting scales etc i don t have a car or a driver s license i do everything by bike or public transport i have also decided not to have children we are with far too many already and i don t feel the need to put yet another drain into this world i plant a lot of flowers for the sole purpose of attracting bees and butterflies to try and help them survive i ditched drinking soda in favor of water but i do need some flavour so i can t give up on all plastic bottle yet i m not plastic free saint and at times i feel like a fraud or a poser for not doing more or trying harder as i see others do but i m glad i am trying at least my partner is not of like mind and thinks it s just a drop in the ocean which saddens me a little i encourage my relatives to do the same but they don t really like to be told what to do or how to live their lives i live in belgium and the movement to live plastic free is very slow in coming also zero waste shops where you can buy in bulk are few around here only 1 in my province i m glad i found this blog to read about others and get some tips on how to improve i wish everyone who reads this much success on their plastic free life i hope that i will live to see the day that we have managed to turn the plastic disaster into an improvement amelia says october 9 2019 at 7 23 am i love this article it made me notice all the plastic i use every day make sure you go check out the plastic calculator ag says september 12 2019 at 3 50 pm scott tissues have a reach in box without a plastic piece julia fung says september 1 2019 at 7 14 pm i work in apparel purchasing industry and there are clothing samples which come in plastic bags send to my office unfortunately my office does not have a plastic bag recycle bin so i take the bags to the plastic bag recycle bin near my home instead taking a step further to protect the environment is definitely worth it i am from hong kong and i think there are enough recycling bins here it can definitely be more though but people often misuse the bins and throw non recyclable trash in the bins and it is just frustrating to see jason wright says august 22 2019 at 7 20 am i believe that living a plastic free life may be a little inconvenient but it is possible more importantly i think it is one of the worthiest causes out there our planet has suffered greatly because of plastic and if every individual doesn t take steps to reduce this pollution i can only fear the consequences personally i recently tried out a plastic free month and it worked greatly it all started after i took a survey here https ecobravo co uk blogs blog can you go plastic free for a whole month lets find out quiz which showed me that some simple steps is all there is to it i think everyone can do as much and it won t even make their life one bit less convenient e says august 17 2019 at 5 48 am while a laudable endeavor it s a drop in the bucket compared to enacting policy change educate our young politicians and neighbors i have solar panels electric car hybrid water heater and just sealed and insulated the attic among other things again just a drop in the bucket compared to state and national policy janiscarmena says october 9 2019 at 10 20 am but it is an effort imagine if we all did this the plastic companies and government would have to listen nostrawchallenge nancy heifferon says october 21 2019 at 5 43 pm given the horrendous amount of plastic in the environment reducing our contribution to it is small per individual but it can be big if it involves a cultural change i am shooting for a 50 reduction for our household i agree that we need policy changes at the local state and national levels but if everyone reduced plastic trash by 30 to 50 that would be a great start to reducing the impact on our rivers and oceans as well as our landfills we can do that while doing the other things you noted in my area building codes require all new homes constructed to have solar panels the community aquatic center and kaiser permanente hospitals and medical offices are putting in solar panels christel buschop says october 25 2019 at 8 18 am my partner says the same but if one person or a few don t start then nothing will ever change yes it needs to go to a political state level to succeed fully but if we are consistent and push through it can be done other big historical changes have gone through the same phases neeelu singhal says august 9 2019 at 2 12 am hey i request takeout places use your container instead of their disposable one if they won t do it give them a take out without card to help them understand why they should some examples of convenient containers are stainless containers from life without plastic eco lunchbox lunchbots and others stainless steel containers sold at some camping supply stores our happy planet says august 8 2019 at 10 08 pm beth this list is soooo comprehensive terrific job we all need to do a better job of reducing our consumption of single use plastic products and this list certainly gave us even more ideas do you mind if we share some of these on our plastic recycling page https ourhappyplanet org plastic bottle recycling merrie jones says august 5 2019 at 10 52 pm how about making your own pizza dough at home i use a plate over the bowl instead of plastic wrap for rising the dough i make my own bread at home as well once you get in the habit of making your bread products it is really easy to do use cloth napkins no plastic wrapped disposable napkins to purchase at the grocery store nothing to throw away turn old laundry detergent bottles with the pump into hand wash stations for park outings or camping trips great to have at portable potties just add a little detergent to a bottle for washing and use one for rinsing it works great for outdoor activities with kids too making your own condiments is fabulous i also teach classes to teenagers who want to bake bread and make their condiments and other items carla says august 4 2019 at 1 14 pm obviously you don t live in very small town america much of what you suggest is absolutely not available particularly managing to buy fresh food that isn t wrapped in plastic bulk foods almost don t exist and items like fresh mushrooms for instance or bins of loose salad greens can t be found here in any store at any price the limited local farmers markets grow items which grow well here of course and none of the things which don t that s natural but it s not easy to work around just so you know a little of what those of us who live in areas like this face our state is one of the ones with laws against limiting plastic bags at checkout stands i do take my own bags i do try to reuse the producer bags already brought into the house for years mason jars have been my primary storage containers we do more than this that i won t think through and list and could do more yet i appreciate your article and your commitment to living thoughtfully on this planet but please be aware that many of us are facing different issues than you who live where people are already dedicated to greener living have to face ian arnold says february 16 2020 at 9 54 am your point is totally valid but it takes the effort of a few to start to create change you can t do more than you can do but every little bit of effort helps maybe people in places where it would be more difficult to not use plastics will be the ones to come up with new solutions marjorie pollard says august 2 2019 at 6 48 am wow thank you i ve been trying to reduce our plastic use now i have more ideas on how to do that elizabeth h evans says august 1 2019 at 9 08 am i save the sunday funnies to use as wrapping paper esp for children s gifts which are usually books and other plastic free items fran s says july 30 2019 at 3 19 pm if you drink coffee make it in a stovetop espresso pot no filters or pods just coffee and water glorya says july 27 2019 at 7 29 am nice article it turns out that used plastic bottles can be used as useful tools rather than being thrown away in vain and making the environment dirty this is a simple action to protect our earth and used plastic bottles can also be used as plant pots check here yes http news unair ac id 2019 07 26 mahasiswa kkn unair di batu sulap botol bekas jadi pot tanaman thanks for sharing lindsey says july 25 2019 at 7 45 pm traditional plastic is poisoning the environment and all who live within it an alternative to traditional plastic is bioplastic due to its non toxicity and biodegradable nature bioplastics are a viable and affordable way to reduce waste and help heal the environment instead of biodegrading traditional plastic breaks down into harmful microplastics that invade the ocean soil and even our bodies eriksen et al 2014 some researchers have even suggested that oceanic plastic waste should be considered as hazardous eriksen et al 2014 in contrast many bioplastics are biodegradable can be made from waste products and some can even be broken down into fuel after use hayburst 2012 as an added bonus switching to bioplastic production can help cut carbon emissions chemistry industry 2018 bioplastic research and development are in high demand with mainstream companies leading the way it is expected that by 2022 1 of all plastic production will be bioplastics chemistry industry 2018 some argue that bioplastic production will compete with food farming worsening a global food shortage however bioplastics can be manufactured using waste products even urban waste that would otherwise be thrown away for example one bioplastic can be produced from rice straw which is a massively produced waste product bilo et al 2018 every day plastic pollution is growing doing untold damage to all life on earth replacing traditional plastic with bioplastics is one way to reduce waste and create a cleaner healthier environment bilo fabjola pandini stefano sartore luciana depero laura e gargiulo giovanna bonassi andrea federici stefania bontempi elza 2018 a sustainable bioplastic

101 tell all those restaurants which serve take out food to stop including plastic forks spoons and knives which usually get thrown away anyway e says august 17 2019 at 5 41 am i wash and reuse the plasticware until they break i used to lose the stainless steel ones from home david munson says june 30 2019 at 10 34 pm in the uk we drink a lot of tea and tea bags contain plastic derivatives switch to loose tea it tastes better too fiona shearer says june 30 2019 at 10 25 am shouldn t our local governments be helping set up plastic support centres in our communities where all sorts of issues and practical problems can be dealt with alberta says august 17 2019 at 12 47 am start a fb plastic free group for your area you might be surprised at what is going on and what is available in your local businesses x fiona shearer says june 30 2019 at 10 14 am have just started my serious war against plastic ideas i have had 1 pick your own strawberries using own container get enough for friends as well to justify the journey 2 have bottled milk delivered 3 use old fashioned dish cloth instead of plastic sponge 4 find a local nursery which will accept return of cleaned plant pots and trays 5 use tinned cat food 6 buy own fruit bushes 7 plant seeds instead of plants 8 make own beeswax food wraps 9 make eco bricks by stuffing straight sided plastic bottles with any flexible plastic this contains the plastic and can also be useful somehow i ve not found yet what i can do with them bottle can be sourced from an uncaring person 10 very important talk to people about all this and ask for any more ideas i plan to post my complete list on my village noticeboard and at my swimming pool and perhaps even start a stall at my church hall on sundays heather says september 3 2019 at 12 52 pm i m starting a group at my church this sunday we ve been living with no new plastic seriously now for about 6 months it s a real challenge as more and more stuff is in plastic packaging on store shelves like chips liners in cracker and cereal boxes things that until fairly recently used to be waxed paper even the butcher paper now has plastic on one side seems like some serious advocacy is necessary we press on susan price says december 5 2019 at 6 25 pm i am also starting an education program at my church about just say no to plastic i am listing places locally where people can buy laundry soap in a cardboard container buy shampoo bars buy hand lotion bars at lush and of course encourage everyone to stop using liquid soap i would appreciate any suggestions or sources you have
