Changing out the items we use every day can have a significant impact on plastic waste. Check out our simple household swaps above and join us in our #PlasticFreeChallenge this month to support the health of our planet!
Plastic Toothbrush ➡️ Bamboo Toothbrush
Making the transition from plastic toothbrushes to a bamboo toothbrush is a great way to start using less plastic in your day-to-day life. With similar super-scrubber bristles and lifespan, a bamboo toothbrush reduces plastic waste with its biodegradable handle all while providing a good clean.
Plastic Silverware ➡️ Reusable Silverware
According to National Geographic, more than 100 million plastic utensils are used every single day. Similar to a toothbrush, reducing your reliance on single-use plastic silverware can make a big difference! Stash a reusable bamboo or metal set in your bag for on-the-go snacks and meals.
To-Go Coffee Cup ➡️ Reusable Tumbler
Now that the Co-op can happily accept your clean reusable drink tumblers (yay!), opt to get your espresso or hot tea loaded into your favorite tumbler! Tumblers keep your hot drinks hotter and cold drinks colder, all while vastly reducing the amount of plastic-lined paper cups and plastic lids in our landfills.
