Throwaway Plastic
Single-use plastic is things that are only used once and are thrown away or recycled.
Kick the single-use plastic habit, say no to plastic…
- Straws: use a paper one, or buy a metal one to use again and again
- Bottles: buy a reusable one and fill up at a water fountain
- Bags: take your own bags or rucksack to the shops
