Through the years I've been changing my actions and being conscious of our footprint in this world. There are 2 billion razors, 16 billion coffee cups, 1 billion toothbrushes, 22 billion plastic bottles, 12 billion pads, and 7 billion tampons thrown away each year.
40 billion plastic utensils per year are a complete waste in the United States alone. Each year, an estimated 500 billion to 1 trillion plastic bags are consumed worldwide. That comes out to over one million per minute. An estimate 8.3 billion plastic straws pollute the world's beaches. And millions and billions of pieces of masks are being disposed daily. I was trying to look for exact numbers, but I found out that it is more than 10 millions in the USA daily, as well for UK, and other countries! So imagine each country is disposing more than 10 million masks every day 🤯
In honor of our lives and well-being, I've changed all of these objects to reusable ones. I've been using them for years now and so far I don't have any complaints. It takes courage of getting out of your comfort zone and saying "No, thank you" when you get offered single-use plastic and willingly looking for options to make a lifestyle change. The goal is to produce LESS waste and baby steps are always welcome and appreciated because the most important thing is to start. This world belongs to every single one of us and WE have to take care of it together.
PS. I'm not telling you you should buy all these (or other) things to make a change. Use what you have first and buy things when you NEED them 🌿 and if friends have extra reusable water bottles and they are so kind of giving you one that's good too! Also, you can use your stainless steal home utensils and take it out with you.
Are you doing something to keep this world healthy?
