According to the UN Environment Program report, "Plastic pollution is a global problem. Of the 9.2 billion tons of plastic produced from 1950-2017, about 7 billion became plastic waste and ended up in landfills or dumps." In such a situation, you must do your part in saving the environment. Learn in this article how you can prevent environmental pollution.
Stop buying water
According to the NRDC report, "about 20 billion plastic bottles are thrown into the trash every year." This is causing a lot of damage to our sea. In this case, keep a reusable water bottle in your bag.
Adopt a zero-waste lifestyle
The fewer people use plastic, the sooner we will be able to eliminate plastic pollution. For this, you have to use a maximum number of such things which can be reused again. From menstrual cups to wooden brushes, you can save the environment by using such things.
Be careful while shopping
Whether it is hotel food or the bag we get after shopping, many times we knowingly or unknowingly use things made of plastic while shopping. Whenever you go shopping, carry a bag made of cloth yourself and avoid taking any item made of plastic.
Try to make a difference
We often see people using plastic in our surrounding areas. When this happens, you should raise your voice. From vegetable-fruit shops to street food vendors, people should be requested to minimize the use of plastic.
Buy second-hand items
Instead of buying new things like plastic toys and electronic gadgets, try to buy second-hand ones.
