In my interwebs perusals I came across this TEDx talk by Beth Terry who has committed to living plastic free. That seems like a worthy but insurmountable task - plastics free. I am committed to greatly reducing my single use plastics consumption. In her talk she gives 8 reasons why personal change (to live plastics free) matters. She inspired me to reflect on the most significant and relatively easy changes I have already made towards eliminating my consumption of single use plastic:
- Carry my own cloth to use as a drying cloth and napkin
- Save glass jars and use them to store food, leftovers and lunchbox food
- Keep several travel mugs and reusable cold drink cups in my car so I can easily use them and have enough for a travel companion
- Have more grocery totes than I really need in my car so that if I always have some there if I (inevitably) forget to return them immediately to the trunk.
Please take a look at Beth's short and entertaining talk - linked above - she makes some really great points.
