Finn’s 5 top tips for reducing plastic in the home! For those of you who don't know me, I'm Finn, passionate about getting rid of plastic in our homes but more importantly our Oceans. Here are some top tips to help reduce your plastic usage. 1. When in the supermarket, what can you buy without a plastic packaging? E.g. Veggies, Bread or snacks. 2. Over 13 Billion plastic bottles are used every year in the UK, so how about you try filling up a sustainable water bottle instead. Try personalising yours. 3. Do you really need a straw? Probably not! Avoid using straws if you can or use metal straws, use a good old fashioned glass instead. 4. If you’re an avid shopper, you’ll start to notice stores which use paper over plastic, spend your money on these stores and spread the word to family and friends. The more business they have, the more other businesses will copy their tactics! 5. Use a bag for life, instead of a plastic bag. Are you like us and forget to pick your up before you going shopping? Have some in your car, handbag or by the door to help you remember!
