- Eat Smart
- Meat costs a lot when you consider the related environmental and health costs
- Meat production is one of the most polluting and resource-intensive industries
- If you eat meat, add one meatless meal a week
- Reducing the consumption of beef and pork meat also helps
- Refuse Plastic Straws
- Annual consumption in EU28: 36.4 billion drinking straws
- Used for minutes and then break down for 200 years on a landfill
- Skip the straw and sip your drink
- Get a reusable one (steel, glass, bamboo) and take it with you on adventures
- Say No To Plastic Cutlery
- 6 million tons of nondurable plastics like forks, spoons and knives are discarded annualy, worldwide
- Used for minutes and then breaks down for up to 1000 years on a landfill
- Made from fossil fuels – huge carbon footprint
- Carry your own reusable cutlery to takeaways (you can make a ,,takeaway kit” with reusable utensils and a straw to always carry in your handbag, it´s that easy!
- Get a bamboo toothbrush(or another compostable)
- Denmark alone has a consumption of toothbrushes that corresponds to 600 tons of plastic
- Made from fossil fuels – huge carbon footprint
- Recycling is very complicated and therefore very rare
- Get a bamboo toothbrush
- Bamboo toothbrush is compostable
- Bamboo is a fast growing plant, doesn´t require the use of pesticides
5. Get A Reusable Water Bottle
- Single-use plastic bottles release toxic chemicals such as bisphenol-A (BPA) into your drink
- Plastic bottles are easy to recycle but it is even better if you can avoid buying them (recycling uses lots of water and energy)
- Get a reusable bottle and save the environment and your money
