Think About Your Why
It’s important to nail down why you want to go plastic-free. Having a strong, defined sense of purpose will help you stay the course when things inevitably get tough and inconvenient.
The most common "why" of a plastic-free lifestyle is a sense of responsibility to help both the environment and society.

Understand What’s Possible
It’s a matter of reducing where you can and reusing the plastic you can’t avoid. Because absolute zero-waste is actually not possible.
You have to think of how exactly do you stop using it. So you first have to understand what’s truly feasible.

Start with Your Beverages
Perhaps the best place for people to start cutting out plastic is in your drinking habits:
- Carry along a travel mug for your coffee
- Invest in a reusable water bottle
- Buy a few metal or glass ones to carry in your bag.

Cut Out the Worst Offenders
Avoid the worst contaminating plastics, like [polyethylene food wrap] and BPA plastics. Don’t use the straw, don't buy the plastic toy, or take the plastic bag.
Start focusing on the other easy changes you can make—such as carrying your own shopping bags to the grocery store and cutting out things like plastic wrap.

When You Can’t Reduce, Reuse
Accept there are times when you can’t avoid plastic. Instead, scan your life and ask: "How can I reuse this?”
- Buy in bulk and use plastic containers again (big yogurt containers for example)
- Try to make single-use plastic reusable
- Collect boxes and use them for moving or donating to people who are moving.

Accept Your Missteps
Reducing your use of plastic is a huge task, and you’re not always going to get it right.
Sometimes there simply aren’t no-plastic options, but that doesn’t mean you should give up or beat yourself up.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
