Refraining from balloon releases is just one thing we can do to lessen our impact on the already fragile environment. There are many simple things we can do in our daily lives that can begin to have a positive impact on the planet.
We can’t all do everything, but we can all do something.
Refusing plastic and styrofoam in your daily life is an easy way everyone can help wildlife and the planet. The plastic industry supports recycling and fantasy ocean cleanup machines because these media hypes are a great distraction to the real answer: stopping the problem at the source is the solution to this growing global issue. By finding alternatives to toxic plastic and other wasteful items we create a demand for safe, earth-friendly products such as:
Reusable stainless steel or glass water bottles, reusable travel mugs, reusable bags, glass/metal/bamboo straws, reusable utensils, bamboo toothbrushes and much more!
Many of the products people consume every day are packaged in plastic. We can avoid this by making our own simple, homemade recipes for everyday living. There are many different recipes available so it’s easy to find the ones that are best for you!
Homemade toothpaste, shampoo, deodorant, lotion, makeup, dishwashing soap, cleaning supplies and much more!
Already have all that checked off? Here are some more ideas! 🙂
Plastic straws are one of the most common items we find. That’s why we choose reusable straws made of stainless steel, bamboo and glass from GlassDharma.
