It seems that the world is finally waking up when it comes to the excessive use of plastic items. The biggest problem lays in the single-use plastic waste that accumulates incredibly quickly. Whether you are at home or traveling, there are ways to make an impact and reduce plastic ways. Here are our favorite ways to use less plastic while traveling.
- Choose accommodations that are actively working on reducing waste and recycling.
- Transfer your shampoo and other products in smaller bottles you can take with you so you don’t have to buy new items in big bottles while traveling.
- Carry a reusable travel kit with you that includes items like Tupperware, cutlery set, zip bags, etc.
- Carry your own travel mug or water bottle that you can refill and avoid single-use plastic cups and bottles. While you’re there, add a reusable straw that you can wash and use again and again. They make them from steel, glass, and other materials now.
- Reusable cotton pads are a great alternative to single-use ones. Simply use one to remove makeup and clean your face then wash it and it will be as good as new. It will also take up less space!
