“How I Reduced My Plastic Use by 80% in a Month”

Reducing my plastic use by 80% in just a month felt like a huge win—and it wasn’t as hard as I thought. I started by eliminating plastic bags and switched to reusable totes for groceries. I also swapped out plastic bottles for a stainless steel water bottle and replaced plastic straws with metal ones. In the kitchen, I stopped buying packaged snacks and began buying in bulk. I switched to bar soap instead of liquid soap in plastic bottles and made the switch to cloth napkins and reusable wraps. By just being mindful of what I buy and choosing eco-friendly alternatives, I saw an immediate reduction in plastic waste and felt better about my impact on the environment. Small changes lead to big results!
