Ditch the plastic

I've just read a magazine lately. And there are a few tips that I think I can share with you all. Just to save our planet honeyy. Read it out ok.

Bring your own bag
You know what, between 500 billion and 1 trillion plastic bags are used each year worlwide. Avoid this needless waste by always carrying a bag or two with you when you go to the shopping complex.

Drink tap water
Asia accounts for 26% of glbal bottled water consumption. Nearly all of these plastic bottles end up in ladfills. Also, is some cases, bottled water isn't even as safe as tap water.

Buy from bulk bins
This is great way to avoid buying food in plastic packaging. Supermarkets like Giant, Tesco and etc offer dried fruit, nuts, candy and spices available in bulk that you can bring home in reusable bags. My mom uses this way sometimes. Your mom can join us too (smiling)

Discover fresh foods
Almost all processed foods are wrapped in plastic. buy fresh fruits and veggies (use your own bags) and find a deli where you can have your meet and cheese wrapped in paper.

Hold the straw
You dont really need a straw to drink juice, do you? There;s nothing wrong with telling the waiter or waitress or the mamak at a restaurant by "no straw, please!" and sipping straight from the glass. Tak jatuh pun korang punya takhta kecantikan or kehandsome-an.

Enjoy 'slow' food
It's practically impossible to avoid plastic packaging when eating at McDonald's. Slow down on the fast food and cook your own meals. If you're new to cooking, ask your mom to cook for you. Then, name your mom's food with MomDonald's. Haha.



IMPORTANT, DONT BEAT YOURSELF UP

In this day and age, it is next to impossible to be completely plastic-free: remember, even your pc are made of plastic. The truth is, because plastic is cheap and convenient, it is EVERYWHERE and in ANYTHING. So dont feel bad if you can't totally avoid it, and dont give up. Just do the best you can. Same as me too ok.
