minimizing my plastic use

In my house we dont use plastic water bottles we refill our five gallon jug at our local water mill, and everyone had their own reuseable water bottle. Since the mill is within walking distance, not only does it cut down on the amount of plastic water bottle cases we would normally buy but also lowers our carbon footprint since we dont have to drive to the store just to get water. On top of that using a refillable gallon helps reduce co2 emissions that come from the production and transportation of disposable plastic bottles.

By refilling my reusable water bottle from the gallon also helps reduce plastic waste. Millions of plastic bottles are thrown away often not being properly recycled. Instead they end up in landfills or the ocean, where they harm wildlife and break down into mircoplastics. By using a reusable water bottle it allows me to limit…

Reusable water bottles are a win for the planet. Billions of single-use plastic bottles are tossed away each year, and a lot of them don't get recycled. They end up sitting in landfills for hundreds of years, or worse, polluting our oceans and harming marine life. When you switch to a reusable bottle, you're directly reducing the amount of plastic that could potentially end up as waste.


Manufacturing plastic requires oil, a non-renewable resource, and the production process releases greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change. Plus, you've got to factor in the energy needed to transport…
