Small Steps, Big Impact
Plastic is everywhere—yet reducing our reliance on it doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. In fact, some of the most effective changes are also the easiest to implement. In this article, we explore five practical swaps you can make today to cut down on single-use plastics.
- Switch to reusable bags and totes instead of plastic shopping bags.
- Choose refillable containers for kitchen and bathroom staples.
- Store food in beeswax wraps or glass jars instead of cling film.
- Carry a reusable water bottle or coffee cup on the go.
- Say no to disposable cutlery and straws by keeping a travel set handy.
Each of these swaps reduces waste, saves money over time, and helps create a ripple effect of positive change. By starting small, households everywhere can make a lasting difference in protecting our oceans and environment.
