Let's Eradicate PLASTIC

                          

On this 🍀World🍀 Environment☘ Day☘ CUT THE PLASTIC🚫

The government has tried banning the plastic bags again and again but the local manufacturing units and cheap prices ruin the effort. The government also tried imposing a penalty on the use of plastic bags but carry bags are not the only plastic we use.

Each month, we use lots of plastic in the form of water bottles or soft drink bottlesAlmost every product we buy comes wrapped in plastic be it food or toiletries Even supermarkets tend to wrap vegetables in plasticThings we buy online always come wrapped in plastic, be it a simple t-shirt or an electronic and home delivery is a rising trend now

The efforts of the government alone cannot reduce the use of plastic but we need to step and take the challenge. A random penalty for the use of plastic bag is not going to stop its use but our conviction can.

So we are not going to talk about the steps government needs to do like the categorisation of household waste but instead, we will only talk about the measures we as responsible citizens - should follow.

Next time, you go shopping, 
🌿bring your own shopping bag 
🌱Put pressure on the food suppliers to use non-plastic packaging
🍀Carry your own water bottles and avoid buying packaged drinking water you can fill up the bottle from drinking water dispensers 
☘Refuse plastic cutlery when you take away food from restaurant or eatery 
🌿Don't use plastic straws invest in a steel one or opt for cardboard straws
🌾Don't use disposable plastic cups for tea/coffee 
🌴Don't use plastic glass for juice or make juice at home 
🌳Buy grocery items like flour and rice in bulk which come in jute bags to avoid the use of plastic
🍃Bring your own container to buy loose grains

These are only a few measures and the easy ones. People in other countries go to extreme levels to cut the use of plastic and become zero waste producers
