What can you do to reduce plastic usage?

1. When going shopping, carry your own bag.
2. Stop giving free plastic bags and stop accepting them.
3. Use bags made of natural fibres available locally – cotton, jute etc.
4. Avoid paper bags altogether. They cannot substitute for plastic bags. Save the trees.
5. Pass an act or bill or something.
6. If you use plastic, dispose it properly.
7. If you see plastic litter, clean it up if you can.
8. Replace plastic boxes with metal or wood, if you can
9. Spend 10 minutes at http://www.reusablebags.com
10. Teach youngsters around you that “natural is cool”.
11. Spread the word.
