WasteReduce Single-Use Disposables
Bringing your own bags and containers to the grocery store, and even to restaurants for leftovers, are a couple of ways to reduce your waste. What single-use items (e.g. straws, coffee cups, vegetable bags, plastic bags) do you regularly use? What could be substituted instead?
I’ll substitute disposable coffee cup with reusable mug every single time. I’ll stop using disposable straws and plastic bags. I’ll also try to stop using all other single use plastics as much as possible.
I always carry in my purse my glass straw, a spork and a collapse-a-cup; in my car i carry reusable bags for shopping and have a carry out container in there for when i go to restaurants.
Choosing two-sided printing can be an easy adjustment on your computer settings. How can you help others make this same switch? Can it be encouraged company wide?
I’ll educate others on the environmental benefits of going two-sided printing and encourage them to do the same. I’ll talk to management and incorporate this practice into all departments SOPs.
I'd ask management to encourage it through SOPs like Pranav said; when i was working I always used it and when folks asked why I told them; i true to lead by example.
Excited to empower others to become change agents for the greater environmental and social good, to create a better tomorrow and a sustainable future!!
In my mind there are thousands of ways to do that, but I would have to say that in general leading by example is the easiest way to do it. You can't encourage everyone to buy an EV because of costs, but you can show them how to get better mileage or group errands, etc.; using water bottles, etc.
