Plastic is everywhere, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make a difference. As an Ecoverra shopper, you already know the power of choosing better products. This post is for anyone looking to take the next step. Here are three incredibly simple, yet impactful, ways you can reduce your daily plastic footprint, starting right now.
- Switch to a Reusable Water Bottle. This might be the easiest swap you can make. Instead of buying single-use plastic water bottles, carry a reusable one made from stainless steel or glass. It’s better for your health, saves you money, and prevents hundreds of plastic bottles from ending up in landfills and oceans.
- Say “No” to Plastic Straws. Plastic straws are a major polluter and are often not recyclable. The next time you’re out, simply tell the server, “No straw, please.” If you love drinking with a straw, invest in a reusable one made from stainless steel, glass, or bamboo. They are easy to carry and clean, and you can find them in a variety of stylish options.
- Bring Your Own Shopping Bags. This is a classic eco-friendly move that still makes a huge difference. Keep a few reusable bags—made from materials like organic cotton or recycled plastic—in your car, purse, or backpack. This simple habit can prevent you from using hundreds of plastic bags a year.
Small changes, like these, create a ripple effect. Every time you choose a reusable option, you are casting a vote for a healthier planet.
