Plastic Free July — habit shift #19
Posted July 19, 2022 at 9:27 pm by San Juan Update
Transition San Juan Island’s Waste Reduction group shares today’s habit shift inspiration from the global Plastic Free July campaign.
Buy Less
Before making a purchase, stop and think — is there a better alternative? Do I need this or am I just in the habit of buying it? And do I need this much?
Considering the packaging of the item is a good place to start to ‘buy less’. Thinking about potential alternatives can include choosing the item with the least amount of packaging, switching from plastic to paper packaging, or even choosing loose products with no packaging at the grocers or a bulk food store.
Follow the five Rs: refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, recycle.
