Ways to Reduce Plastic at Home

Every plastic bag, toothbrush or plastic cup still exists in a landfill or in the ocean right now. One might feel satisfied when they dispose off their garbage from their homes and a nice truck comes to pick it all up. But it has to go somewhere as it just does not vanish away. There are certain harmful compounds which leech in into our food when we eat in disposable plastics which leads to toxic diseases.

Since charity begins at home, it’s becomes our prime responsibility to cut down the usage of plastic for our own benefit. Little steps of contribution to Mother Nature can also make a huge difference to the rising global warming level. Shedding light on reducing plastic wastage at home, La Prisma, top property in Zirakpur presents us with some easy tips to use less plastic in our daily lives.

Tip 1: Carry a Reusable Bottle

When outside home, buying plastic bottles is a rip off as though it’s liquid gold. This bottled water usually contains tiny plastic bits which only increases cancer risk. Therefore, always carry stainless steel, copper or glass bottles as per your preference.

Tip 2: Say No to the Plastic Straw

Rather invest in stainless steel, glass or bamboo straws at home. And whenever you go out for dining, decline using a plastic straw, rather recyclable paper straws can be utilized.

Tip 3: Say No to Plastic Cutlery and Containers

We all order food online or take away from the restaurants. It would be a huge contribution at your end not to take or accept any plastic cutlery. We all have spoons and forks at home, don’t escape from washing them. Also use maison jars to store the leftovers in the refrigerator.

Tip 4: Get Your own Grocery bag for Shopping

While shopping, always carry your grocery bag to the store. It’s always convenient to carry one big-sized jute or any cloth bag rather than carrying 4-5 small plastic bags which keep slipping off your fingers at the end of the day.

These were some simple tips you can opt for and contribute your part in saying “no” to plastic and conserving the environment. La Prisma, 3 BHK & 4 BHK Flats in Zirakpur, contributes and promotes the same for Mother Nature.
