The plastic trash accumulating in the oceans are "death traps" for millions of birds and marine organisms that live and feed on them.
Below we cite a few ways to do this:
- reduce the use of plastic bags.
-Use cloth bags for shopping.
-Avoid buying soft drinks in plastic bottles, choose glass, if any.
-Take a thermal mug for coffee and ask the stores where you buy coffee on the way you fill it up instead of disposable cups.
-Do not buy food in plastic packaging, prefer in bulk.
-Make your own bread or buy it from bakeries to wrap it in paper.
-To clean up use baking soda and vinegar instead of chemical cleaners in plastic bottles.
Buy-in washing powder cartons, not plastic.
-Choose Milk packed in cardboard or glass container.
-The remains of food do not wrap in plastic wrap, aluminum foil prefer.
-Use matches instead of plastic lighters.
Buy-fabric toys for your pets.
-Pack your stuff in the newspapers instead of the familiar plastic cover with bubbles.
