Ditching Disposable Bottles/Cups
Small steps are indeed the best approach to reducing plastic and waste in our lives. It's impressive to see how a simple item can inspire us to make more sustainable changes. Repurposing what we already own can significantly cut down on waste while bringing a creative and functional twist to everyday items.
Recently I found myself hunting for a new water bottle online, however whilst looking through my baking cupboard later onwards in the afternoon, I stumbled across this gorgeous bottle designed by Emma Bridgewater water. It's great that such a functional item has shown longevity and practicality, allowing myself to enjoy it for four years without any issues like cracking or mildew not to mention helping a needless purchase from occurring promoting a green living choice! Little things like these acts help us save money on non-essential purchases, and when adopted by many, will make such a difference.
Small Sustainable Steps
The best reusable cup is the one we already have. By grabbing a cup from home, we can take a simple step toward reducing the impact of disposable plastic on our environment. Travel cups made from materials like glass, ceramic, stainless steel with sealable lids, and even bamboo offer reliable and convenient options for those on the go—whether heading to the gym, working, or running errands.
Choosing healthier cup alternatives contributes significantly to decreasing the billions of disposable coffee cups that ultimately end up in landfills and litter our waterways/oceans. This poses a serious threat to marine life and, when washed ashore, can ensnare defenceless birds, leading to distressing outcomes. While a troubling reality, this is a direct consequence of our pursuit for convenience. Making the switch to reusable cups is not just a personal choice; it’s a step toward a more sustainable future for our planet.
By supporting small coffee shop businesses that offer own cup swaps ( bringing our own travel mugs to be used instead of plastic takeaway cups ) will lower our carbon footprint & effectively reduce mass pollution into wildlife
Reliable Over Carbon Footprint
I encourage everyone to join me on an important journey toward becoming more plastic conscious and, hopefully, experiencing a sense of freedom in our daily lives both inside and outside our homes! Together, let's actively help protect Mother Nature and the diverse wildlife that inhabit our planet by taking simple yet impactful steps each day. Every small action counts, and collectively, we can make a significant difference.
