One of the simplest ways to reduce plastic waste is to replace single-use items with reusable alternatives. Carry a reusable water bottle, coffee cup, and shopping bags to avoid disposable options. By making these small changes, we can significantly decrease the amount of plastic waste generated daily.

Cook more.
Not only is it healthier but making your own meals doesn’t involve takeout containers or doggy bags. For those times when you do order in or eat out, tell the establishment you don’t need any plastic cutlery or plastic carry-out bags. For some serious extra credit, bring your own food-storage containers to restaurants for leftovers.

Stop buying bottled water.
Each year, close to 20 billion plastic bottles are tossed in the trash. Carry a reusable bottle in your bag, and you’ll save money and plastic—you may also be making the safer choice by sticking with tap water.

Half of all plastic produced is for throwaway items that are used once and then chucked: grocery bags, plastic wrap, disposable cutlery, straws, coffee-cup lids. Take note of how often you rely on single-use plastics and replace them with reusable versions.

we must eliminate unnecessary plastic, such as plastic packaging, reusing refillable water bottles, and every single-use plastic item.
Reducing plastic production will be the next step.
