Some Ways to Reduce Your Personal Impact on Climate Change



Hey! Here, I have an assortment of reusable water bottles that I own and frequently use. I always have one with me because not only are they convenient, but they also reduce the amount of plastic I use. Carrying a reusable water bottle allows me to virtually never have to buy plastic water bottles, which also saves me money. One less water bottle used is reducing not only plastic and trash in our oceans, but microplastics as well. As a surfer, I deeply care for the health of our oceans and microplastics seem to be a very detrimental pollutant as a result of overconsumption of plastic products. These microplastics can be directly harmful to fish and other wildlife, but can also be directly harmful to humans as well. We, humans, consume a variety of marine life, which now contain microplastics. These microplastics are then consumed by us. This leads to health hazards including changes to gene activity and DNA damage, which can all lead to cancers. Microplastics also cause reproductive issues in men. So with that being said. I enjoy using reusable water bottles for many reasons. They are convenient, save money, and reduce the amount of plastic used, which pollutes our environment and majorly our oceans.

You have a nice collection! I also showed off my bottles today on this forum. I agree about the environment and microplastic debacle that I outlined in my post as well. It just helps out all around with our selves and our world. If you haven't, I would recommend going glass for cookware/drinkware!
