Are you new to living sustainably, or looking for a place to start? Then this post is for you! I'm highlighting two simple sustainable swaps every eco newbie should make to live more sustainably.
1) Reusable Water Bottle
It sounds too simple, but a reusable water bottle can have a huge impact. In fact, 500 billion plastic water bottles are thrown away each year worldwide! 😥 How many of those 500 billion have you contributed to? And considering less than 10% of plastic is actually recycled a reusable water bottle is so important. By investing in a reusable water bottle you can help reduce plastic waste and save yourself money from constantly buying plastic ones whenever you go out.
2) Reusable Shopping Bags
In the UK the number of plastic bags sold has reduced drastically since the plastic bag tax was introduced in 2018. However, close to 500 million plastic bags are still sold every year in the UK! 🤯 Making sure you bring your reusable bags whenever you go shopping is so important. Whether that's investing in a tote bag or re-using the plastic bags you already own - make the switch to a reusable shopping bag to help the planet.
