It is estimated that round 7 million coffee cups are used in the UK everyday! Also throughout the country we use 7.7 billion plastic bottler per year that's around 117 plastic bottles per person per year! The majority of these items are not recycled. So what can be done about it? Well, one super simple change you can make to your everyday life to help wildlife and the environment is to adopt reusable receptacles and ditch those silly single use water bottles and coffee cups.
If you've already treated yourself to a coffee cup and bottle then happy days! Why not go one further and bring cutlery and a straw with you whether you go. Taking your plastic free lunch in a reusable bag means you have a shopping bag ready to go should you need to make a pit stop at the shops.
Taking a lunch with you when you head out is one great way to avoid the pesky plastic of those meal deals!
If you're heading out to a restaurant this evening why not ask them if they have a vegan menu to help cut down on your carbon footprint. Additionally, you might source a restaurant that is sustainable.
