17. Bring your cutlery and straws
Let’s come to the next way to reduce waste! When you are at work or traveling, the use of plastic cutlery provided for you can be very attractive. If you are serious about being an eco-fighter, you may want to consider taking your cutlery around. There are also portable wooden cutlery sets in your pocket, which match easily. These are made of wood and are fully biodegradable if the processing time is right.
Plastic straws from fast food restaurants are another significant residual cause of waste. Scientists report that our ocean holds 7.5 million plastic straws. If you’re sitting down to eat, you can ask the cashier not to give you a straw, or avoid it when you’re picking up your things. They sell metal straw packages online if you need to use them. But in most cases, you can only sip from the side of the cup – just like you are at home.
