You’ve probably read about how plastics are polluting our ocean and you’re interested making some changes in your life to help. You’re an awesome human being!
But you’re not sure where to start. No worries. I understand it seems like a huge mountain to climb, but I can help you step-by-step.
If you’re completely new, start with Plastic-Free Basics. This covers the few things that will eliminate a lot of the single-use plastics we come in contact with, like plastic water bottles, plastic straws, plastic-lined coffee cups with a plastic lid. You see where I’m going.
Next try some of these 15 Easy Plastic-Free Bathroom Swaps or 10 Easy Plastic-Free Kitchen Swaps.
Once you’ve conquered those, check out a Simple Guide to Plastic-Free Grocery Shopping. Food and beverage packaging are the top items collected at beach clean-ups. And if you look in your garbage, that’s probably the majority of your trash.
After you master some of these concepts, you start noticing more and more things that are disposable plastics. So, as you look at other rooms in your house, moving from the kitchen to the bathroom and closet, Plastic-Free Cleaning, My Plastic-Free Beauty & Hygiene Routine and 11 Tips for an Eco-Friendly Wardrobe will come in handy.
