<p>It is not exactly true that the majority of plastics are recyclable. Most can&#8217;t be recycled into a similar product and they are actually &#8220;downcycled&#8221;. If you take a look around you&#8217;ll realize that plastic can be found in about anything, and everything and that&#8217;s a big problem because as we&#8217;ve said, not all of them are recyclable. Some plastic just gets thrown away, ending up in the soil of farms that grow our food, rivers, and lakes.</p>

<p>Clearly, it is important for each one of us to do everything we can to reduce our plastic use. It is not an easy task, but we should all give it a try. In this article, we are going to share some simple ways that will help you reduce the amount of plastic waste that&#8217;s generated every year!</p>
<h3>Tiny Little Life Hacks To Reduce Your Plastic Use By 90%</h3>
<ul>
<li>
<h3>Give up those plastic grocery shopping bags</h3>
</li>
</ul>
<p>The use of plastic shopping bags has been banned by many communities. Instead, they are encouraging customers to bring their own reusable bags. The plastic shopping bags come at a very high cost to the environment, although they may be free to shoppers in most places. So, start using reusable cloth bags, they are easier to fill and carry around.</p>

<h3>Stop buying bottled water</h3>
</li>
</ul>
<p>One of the worst environmental offenders are the plastic water bottles. By giving up that bottled water you&#8217;ll save money and you&#8217;ll be potentially saving your health too. Why not carry a reusable canteen or stainless-steel bottle?!</p>
<ul>
<li>
<h3>Buy from bulk bins</h3>
</li>
</ul>
<p>You can save money and all the unnecessary packaging by filling up a reusable container or bag instead of buying items that are already packaged.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<h3>Take a thermos to the coffee shop</h3>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Bring your own termos, or a mug when you visit the coffee shop. The coffee cups at the coffee shops might look like paper, but they are typically lined with a type of plastic resin called polyethylene. Also, those lids and stirrers are all plastic too.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<h3>Avoid frozen foods</h3>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Frozen foods are highly processed, and loaded with chemicals and they tend to contain a lot of plastic packaging. The so-called eco-friendly packaged items made from cardboard are still coated with a thin layer of plastic.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<h3>Stop chewing gum</h3>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Manufacturers begin to replace natural rubber in gum with polyethylene and polyvinyl acetate after scientists have created synthetic rubber. So, if you chew gum, you&#8217;re chewing on plastic. Remember that you are tossing out more plastic into the landfill when you throw out your used gum.
