A guide to living without plastic waste. Also, does the thought of our planet being overwhelmed with plastic waste keep you awake? That the oceans are full of it? Just don't panic! The forecasts of environmentalists are bleak, but the war on plastic has already begun and you can join it too. Although plastic is a revolutionary invention and in some areas we would hardly be able to replace it, single-use plastics in particular are literally everywhere nowadays and the short period of their use is completely disproportionate to their very long life. In this booklet, you will find 101 short tips on how to avoid single-use plastics and thus ensure your share in saving the world. You will discover smart and simple ideas, such as bringing your own cutlery, enjoying ice cream from a cone and not from a disposable bowl, and buying loose donuts or pastries instead of packaged sweets. 101 easy ways to reduce plastic touches on three main areas: food and drink, household and lifestyle. It will give you hints about shopping and preserving food, hygiene or fashion, and you will find that your pursuit of a more sustainable life is not only a challenge, but can also bring a lot of surprising discoveries and fun. It also touches on some situations in life that you might not have thought of. How to have a children's party without plastics? And how to deal with visiting a summer festival? Maybe you will become a gardener or celebrate Christmas without plastic this year. With simple, practical steps aimed at reducing plastic in everyday life, this book is the perfect gift for anyone who has decided to join the war on plastic. Easy motivational tips will guide you so that you can change your habits step by step until finally eliminating plastics from your life becomes your nature.
