Say no to the plastic ‘table’ in the middle of your pizza box
If you are someone who orders pizzas frequently, you must have noticed the little table placed in the middle of your pizza box. Known as the 'package saver,' it is a single-use plastic device we all can do without.
For someone who follows a sustainable, 'green' lifestyle, you can easily ask the server not to add that 'little white plastic thing' on your pizza and enjoy your meal.
Grow your own vegetables
It sounds a little bizarre. But if you look at it, growing your own vegetables can turn out to be a gamechanger for those looking to switch towards a plastic-free lifestyle. Given that most of the vegetables you purchase at the supermarket are wrapped in plastic bags, there is a high probability that they contain various toxins and chemicals that are often used to increase the shelf-life of organic produce.
Growing vegetables in your own backyard can help you get out of the plastic-laden supply chain and get high-quality vegetables and fruits of superior quality.
Find shops selling products in zero-waste, non-plastic packaging
With the demand for organically produced and eco-friendly items soaring, there has been a steady increase in the number of people looking to buy such products.
There are enough physical and online stores that sell food products free from plastic packaging - rice, pasta, grains, pulses, flour, and coffee. You can carry your stainless steel containers and reusable bags, weigh the quantity desired, and pick it to bring back home.
The zero-waste shops additionally offer essentials like toilet rolls, skincare products, and detergent refills wrapped in paper and glass jars that you can procure easily.
