Plastic Free July — habit shift #22

Transition San Juan Island’s Waste Reduction group shares today’s habit shift inspiration from the global Plastic Free July campaign.

Reduce

Reducing dependency on single-use products that we’re in the habit of buying can feel like hard work. And yet, focusing on how satisfying it feels when we do make a shift in the right direction urges us on. The effort it takes to reshape our thinking becomes less and less as we begin to replace the throwaway mentality with a reduce mentality. There’s no doubt about it, reducing our dependence on single-use throwaway products results in less waste to think about in our daily lives and less waste ending up in the landfill.
