Reducing waste, especially making less disposable garbage, should be the easiest environmental protection measure for ordinary people.

Speaking of "one-time" really makes people love and hate. We often feel guilty about the pollution caused by these things, but we can't completely refuse these conveniences. Others say, who doesn't want environmental protection? Now there are disposable products everywhere, and it is a last resort to use them.

I found that compared with the previous two years, more and more people have "guilt" about making garbage, and they are spontaneously looking for ways to reduce the use of disposable goods.

Is disposable goods really irreplaceable?

10 pieces of environmentally friendly good things to replace disposable items.

# 1. environmental protection bag supermarket plastic bag

When it comes to excessive waste of disposable products, plastic bags are the first, which is the easiest thing for most people to change. Bringing your own shopping bag to the supermarket is really not exclusive to aunts and grandmothers. Now there are many lightweight and durable environmental protection bags, and their values are all online. When folded, they are only the size of a palm. It's always right to prepare one in the bag.

△ @ Husband is a piece of braised pork: IKEA Knara folding bag. Washable, folded and put in the bag, occupying no space, with large opening capacity. Shopping in the supermarket no longer requires disposable plastic bags.

#2. Food shopping basket/net bag and plastic bag

Now buy a dish and take a dozen plastic bags at every turn; I remember going to the morning market with my parents when I was a child. Everyone is carrying a cloth bag and a vegetable basket, but I don't feel inconvenient. Is it really difficult to buy "zero junk" food now?

△ @careyzz: Supermarket standard: cotton bag+vegetable basket△ △@ pupupupula: We have a grocery shopping activity without plastic bags at the weekend. We use cotton bags and canvas bags instead of plastic bags, and prepare corresponding containers in advance to hold seafood and meat for purchase. Reducing the use of plastic products, environmental protection is actually very simple.

#3. Cotton/mesh bundle pocket fresh-keeping bag

This bundled bag can not only replace plastic bags in the process of buying food; When storing ingredients at home, it can also replace fresh-keeping bags to some extent. Except for a few leafy vegetables, in fact, many fruits and vegetables are confined in airtight plastic bags, which is not conducive to preservation.

△ @Charmi_y: Say goodbye to the fresh-keeping bag and sew several cloth bags with canvas to put vegetables.

#4. Silicone fresh-keeping cover plastic wrap

The silicone fresh-keeping cover can be washed repeatedly, even in the dishwasher. The thin cover can be stretched properly, and the size requirement is not particularly strict. Fresh-keeping lid+bowl is actually equal to fresh-keeping box ~

△ west eight VIII: Food huggers silicone fresh-keeping cover, used for small fruits and vegetables, one of which matches the size of a tin can. For example, it is good to cover half of the canned chicken soup with this. Dishwasher cleaning, recycling means environmental protection.

#5. Beeswax cloth cling film

Beeswax cloth is made of cotton cloth and beeswax, which is naturally 100% degradable and can be attached to the bowl like plastic wrap. But there are also serious injuries, that is, food that cannot give off heat, otherwise it may lead to the melting of beeswax. I am used to bringing a sandwich every morning, and it is just right to use beeswax film.

△ @ west eight Eight: Bee & bought by Meiya; #39; S packaging. Washable and recyclable beeswax plastic wrap can be used for hundreds of times, which is a good thing for environmental protection. There is beeswax on the surface, so it smells like honey. △ Bees & # 39; S wrap has a special beeswax film for sandwiches, which is convenient for changing the plastic wrap. Taobao search keywords can also find purchasing.

#6. Travel mug disposable cups/plastic bottle

It's really convenient to bring a cup with you, and many coffee shops can get discounts when they bring their own cups. Healthy stars may choose thermos cups, but I'm really not used to waiting for half a day to drink water or burn my mouth, and it's too heavy to put in my bag. Rivers coffee cup is for my own use. PP material is light in weight and good in sealing. I think the capacity of 12oz is just right.

△ @EVEN_Hoo: The earth brings its own cup to drink free coffee every day-follow the pace of everyone, make a small contribution in the tide of environmental protection, and enjoy it.

#7. Portable food bag packaging box

Occasionally, you need to pack food, and taking a fresh-keeping box takes up too much space. Until I found a product crowdfunding initiated by a brand in Taiwan Province Province, it just solved my problem. Inside is a food bag made of silica gel, which won't spill when serving soup, and it is also very light and can be folded and stored. I bought two sizes and used them frequently.

△ Who registered @ Asu: A goodye's pockeat food bag with different sizes and different prints. It can hold fruits, bread, desserts, soups, vegetables, pancake fruits and cold noodles, and can be put into the bag after storage.

#8. Disposable tableware with tableware bag

Social animals really don't have time to cook, and it won't be too hard for them to order takeout. It is also meaningful to check "no tableware". Even without a tableware bag, it is good to have a set of tableware in the office for backup. Besides, disposable tableware is really hard to use.

△ Even if you don't want tableware, there are still many stores that choose to ignore it. It is really a long way to go to reduce disposable garbage in the takeaway industry. △ I rummage through the bag, and there will be chopsticks, spoons, forks and straws in the tableware bag.

#9. Stainless steel straws disposable straws

Sometimes I can't refuse milk tea ... bringing your own water cup+stainless steel straw can completely replace disposable. I especially like coconuts in summer, and stainless steel straws are also very useful.

△ Han Xiao Deep Ss: Take-away drinks, milk tea and coffee. In summer, the daily consumption of drinking pipes can be as high as three or four. I went to London in July and found that many restaurants no longer provide straws or only provide paper straws. Plastic straws should soon be restricted like plastic bags. In addition to stainless steel, you can also choose glass, which is strong and easy to see and clean.

# 10. More recyclable schemes ...

In addition to the above, you can also see that many friends are using their own ways to reduce the use of disposable items, and even use the small things at hand without buying them. Really contains a lot of life wisdom!

△ @ Zhang Changchang: Kao mop with idle bath towel. A bath towel can be cut into 12 pieces. Vacuum first, and then spray some diluted Charlie cleaner on the floor surface to easily fix the whole floor and bid farewell to disposable wipes. △ @ A red deer: The disposable filter paper in the sewer is too wasteful and often blocks water. I hung a 1, 2 yuan's online food clip, and just picked up my hair and threw it in the trash can! △ @ 丫丫丫丫丫丫丫丫: IKEA PRUTA series, a group with many large and small boxes. Big boxes can be used to buy steamed buns and steamed dumplings, instead of plastic bags provided by the store.

Besides rejecting "one-off", what other changes can we make?

# 1. Slow down the consumption of paper towels

It is inevitable to use paper towels, but I will carry some rolls of paper with me in clean storage bags instead of small packages of facial tissues. At the same time, I will choose to buy roll paper with no paper core and independent packaging.

#2. Disposable plastics cannot be used only once.

Is plastic the original sin? I don't think plastics should be responsible for the environment. More often, there is something wrong with the way humans use it. Plastic is difficult to degrade, precisely because of its strong and durable characteristics. Just giving it a short service life is overqualified for plastics and a burden to the earth.

#3. Reduce consumption: If it is not necessary, don't add physical objects.

Now the functions of many products are really too subdivided. Take cleaning products as an example. Maybe you have n bottles of detergents with different functions, which are not commonly used. Most of them have expired after being used once or twice. It is better to use the money to buy detergent to ask for regular cleaning, so as to save yourself. ...

#4. Break up responsibly

Even if you don't like idle things anymore, try to find a better home for them. It is easy to throw it away directly, but it also means the end of service life.

Clothing, bedding, toys: idle fish, flying ants donated? Book: Catch more fish and recycle fish books? Electrical appliances: JD.COM pats, Suning trades in the old for the new? Electronic products: Love recycling, Taobao recycling.

#5. Reduce waste and make the best use of it

Last but not least, make full use of everything. Not wasting is the greatest "environmental protection".

Including these environmentally friendly products, please consider them carefully. What can you do? Whether this convenience can really be sacrificed for environmental protection.

Recyclable products also have environmental costs in the manufacturing process. The more times they are used, the more they can dilute the cost, and only in the true sense can they have sustainable value.

If it's just a whim, it's really unnecessary to buy home once and leave it idle.

In the big environment, we are really small, but it is this small individual who has contributed to the final result through repeated choices. There is no need to passively wait for a better recycling mechanism and more advanced degradable materials, and wait for others or the environment to make changes first before we passively accept them.

Every positive action has power. In the face of the increasingly serious environmental problems, no matter whether we change or not, at least there is no need to say: I have no choice but to lose.
