The Issue

We are becoming plastic every day. We all consume so much of plastic in terms of snack wrappers, straws, containers, milk/curd packets, tooth brushes, ear buds, etc. It is because we find plastic easy and low cost substitute of other materials, but this easiness is killing our Nature, changing the environment, clogging soil, polluting water bodies and all this is happening only because we don't know how to stop or avoid plastic.

It is difficult to use sustainable products instead of plastic, but we can surely reduce the use to some extent and give a chance to heal nature.

We can start by carrying a jute/cloth bag for shopping instead of taking polybags with every purchase, we can collect our plastic waste and give it for recycling, we should avoid using straws or plastic food storage boxes as much as possible, also straws can be easily re-used after washing, instead of buying plastic pots for keeping plants and other decorative items, go for more eco-friendly clay pots, also we can use old plastic tubs/buckets to grow plants instead of buying new plastic pots, etc.

There are so many ways to help nature get back on its feet. So much of plastic goes in ocean and other water bodies, consumed by fishes and sea birds, they all suffer and die, it is in our hands to do some good and return the favor. So let's join our hands together and pledge for a making a better future for us.
