You Can Stop Plastic Pollution Today With These 4 Eco-Friendly Products

 

There's more to plastic pollution than you might think:

• ·       The majority of all plastic waste has been incinerated, with only 9% likely to be recycled. 79% of the remaining materials have been disposed of in landfills or the natural environment if they are no longer in use.
• ·       A U.S. Centers for Disease Control study found nearly 93 percent of people tested positive for BPA (a potentially harmful chemical found in plastics).
• ·       Every year, plastic pollution in our oceans causes the death of one million seabirds and 100,000 marine mammals.

Don't think you can make a difference? Give it another thought.

With this list of eco-friendly products from these specific brands, we aim to show you the ease of replacing some of the plastic products you buy and supporting those who make recycled plastic products. This will virtually eliminate single-use plastic waste in all spheres of life. Read on!

1. Reusable Lunch Wraps

Even though packed lunches seem harmless enough, when multiplied by everyone who packs a lunch daily, the amount of single-use plastic waste quickly adds up. You can eliminate plastic pollution from daily lunches by replacing single-use plastic wraps with the Bienergo SaladBowl made out of the husk.

2. Reusable Shopping Bags

In comparison to single-use plastic produce bags, grocery store plastic shopping bags generate even more waste. Purchase one of those reusable shopping bags that folds up into a pouch attached to it. You can carry groceries and other items with you always thanks to this handy bag. With it, you can eliminate your plastic waste from shopping bags every time you go shopping.

3. Eco-friendly Hygiene Products

The chemicals in typical household products used for washing clothes and cleaning the house can have an adverse impact on the environment. Further, many cosmetics and personal hygiene products commonly found in homes employ environmentally harmful manufacturing practices. For starters, you can invest in a natural loofah sponge from Bienergo instead of a plastic one. Also, the natural loofah sponge is far better for your skin!

4. Reusable Coffee Cups

We waste a significant amount of money and resources on coffee cups and lids that are single-use. Your efforts to reduce single-use plastic waste can be significantly increased when you use reusable cups and drink bottles. Bienergo’s Reusable Coffee Cups are made out of the husk, similar to the cups you find at your local cafe. As a plus, they're made to barista standards, so they'll fit snugly on your favorite coffee shop’s machine.

To Sum Up…

There is no doubt that climate change is one of the most pressing issues facing modern humanity. It's everywhere in the news that we see the evidence of our climate change and disturbing images from around the world. We must ask ourselves: what can we do? A macro- and micro-level approach is needed to combat climate change. As individuals, we must take up this cause as vigorously as governments and corporations.
