Say No to Plastic Straws
When you're at a restaurant or getting a drink, ask for no straw or use a reusable one made of metal or bamboo. It's a small change that can make a big impact.
Use a Reusable Drinks Bottle
Instead of buying drinks in plastic bottles, bring your own water bottle from home. You'll save money and help keep plastic out of the ocean.
Bring your own Bag
Next time you go shopping with your grown-ups, bring a reusable bag instead of using a plastic one. You can find lots of fun and colourful bags to carry your stuff in. We even have an article on how to make one from an old t-shirt! Check it our here
Pack Waste-Free Lunches
Ask your grown-ups to pack your lunch in reusable containers instead of plastic bags or wrap. You can use cool lunchboxes or snack containers made of metal or silicone.
Recycle and Reuse
Be a recycling superstar by sorting your trash into recyclables like paper, cardboard, and some types of plastic. You can also reuse things like jars and containers instead of throwing them away.
These simple acts will reduce your plastic waste - and help protect our oceans. And if you share these tips with your friends we will be able to have an even greater impact!
