Solution to reduce plastic waste

That is one of the slogans of the trends that exist across the world. We can begin to reduce our plastic waste to not wear it but replace it.

1. Do not use plastic bags for shopping. Bring your own shopping bag that can always be used again.
2. Do not just throw away plastic bottle after drinking. Fill with water again and again, although not too many refill. Approximately 5 times disposable still okay. For the usual drink in the car, prepare a bottle is always fully charged.
3. It’s better to buy a drink bottles that can be refilled and do not always have to buy another bottle of mineral water.
4. In western countries many cafes like Starbucks have started to allow customers to bring their own mugs or better to fill a coffee Thermos. Plastic bags can still be used again. But if the plastic glass can only once.

Sometimes it is also difficult if not inserted with an incentive to the customer. Yet if we do not use plastic bags or plastic cup of cafe will also reduce their costs thereby increasing profits.

So in western countries have a lot of entrepreneurs who want to come help provide incentives such as supermarkets which offer a discount when not using their plastic bags such as Aldi or Albertsons. IKEA instead will force customers to pay for plastic bags. With this IKEA expects customers will reduce consumption of plastic bags which reach 70 million bags per year just for the United States.

Singapore began to assign a particular day as “Bring Your Own Bag” Day, where customers are required to bring their own pockets and who does not carry required to pay the 30 cents that will be used for environmental activities. Shopping bags that can be reused now a best seller in Singapore.

In fact we have to laugh at those who do not understand the importance of environment and lack of awareness to reduce waste. Now many shopping bags with unique and funky design as well so that young children do not feel inferior. Drink bottles also are getting cool so do not feel like a kindergartner who brought a bottle to drink.
