Hello everyone, my name is Wohali and I am proud to say that I live a wasteful life. I look at my community and see what changes we will make as long as we make a few changes in our daily routine! Now the main thing I wish to say is that the key to making a change is awareness. Awareness of all the little garbage that accumulates in your lifestyle. Items such as plastic straws and moving containers. (Styrofoam WORST.)

Tip # 1

Carry a bottle in small quantities to save a lot of money on buying water or other bottles and reduce your use of plastic! Preferred pure glass or glass.

Tip # 2

At mealtimes do not use plastic straw! In today's world it is common to use plastic grass all the time with your drink, instead just drink it during a glass or if you are crazy grass order metal chrome or bamboo treat yourself! This may contain a link where you will order.

Tip # 3

Do not use plastic cuts where possible! Instead try to carry your silver dress or bamboo cutting order; this link shows spoon by spoon, fork, straw, and grass cleaner during travel bag but you will find cut bamboo in some online stores, I love them too!

Tip # 4

When shopping, try to avoid plastic bags by all means! Instead you have invested in other bags that will be sold, which are sold in most grocery stores. you will also explore sites like Marshal, or online!

Tip # 5

(This tip happens.) In my town we have CO-OP that sells bulk items such as flour, rice and spreads. But if you see or intend to buy in bulk it is different to measure the amount of garbage in your daily life! take care of double packing of “many items” check the various bins where you will bring your containers! Here's a link to finding a bulk store near you!

Tip # 6

A good idea to help create change is not to look for containers (mostly made of styrofoam) and bring Tupperware to your home to handle any remaining overs you will have!

Tip # 7

Try to avoid things that are tied in some way! The food items available in individual “travel” packages are available threats that cannot be reused or reused. The onset of litter bins creates a huge lump in landfills.

Tip # 8

To go with Tip # 7, before you start buying new containers, sell them and see if you have any easy-to-use items (like pasta sauces, which are in glass jars you will wash that off and good container in bulk!) Start looking and reusing! (Reuse before reuse !!!)

Tip # 9

Go to the grocery store to donate or get clothes! Not only will you use the best clothes you can use but you will also find good clothes that you can use.

I'm not pushing the dirty way of life, but if you feel called that way of life, YAY. I'm just showing you things we can all do to donate a little bit of waste inside the trash. the average American loses 4.4 lbs per day, up from 1,606 lbs a year! to put it bluntly, the maximum amount of debris is 192 ft cubed, the same size as the Leaning Tower of Pisa. One person can make a big difference.

Thank you for taking the time to read these helpful tips to start making changes to support our environment! Together we will make a difference; it starts with you !! Have a great day everyone!
