And here are ten really easy ways to reduce plastic pollution:
1. Stop using bottled water – In most cases it is no safer than tap water (Leitungswasser) and costs 3 times as much gasoline (Benzin) and 1,000 times as much as tap water
2. Bring your own reusable (wiederverwendbar) grocery bags (Einkaufstüten) with you when you go to the store
3. Use a refillable dispenser for your hand soap and dish washing liquid, one large bottle is better than using a bunch of small ones
4. Use a reusable container instead of sandwich bags
5. Bring your own to-go mug with you to the coffee shop
6. Say no to single serving packaging, buy in bulk and share with friends instead
7. Use silverware instead of plastic utensils, keep a set at the office, bring a set on a picnic or to the beach
8. Download your music instead of buying CD’s
9. Seek out items that are not made of plastic
10. Avoid plastics that are not readily recyclable
