Alternatives to single-use bags: how to reduce plastic waste?

Millions of people around the world use plastic bags every day. But do you know how harmful these bags are? Today we want to remind you about this once again.

The plastic bags we use every day will decompose in 200 years and will not disappear. They pollute our water sources and harm marine life. Many marine animals swallow plastic bags or get entangled in them. This poses a danger not only to animals, but also to our children.

Small pieces of plastic - microplastics - can enter our food chain through soil and water and harm our health. It's time to reduce your plastic bags and use clean alternatives. It's easy.

Washable and reusable cloth or cotton bags are one of the best alternatives to plastic bags. They last a long time and require less resources. These bags are made from natural fibers and are environmentally friendly. They are durable, reusable, modern and easy to carry. Due to their small size, they can be stored in a pocket or purse.

If the salesperson at the checkout asks if you need a bag, say no. Put your purchases in the shopping bags you bring with you. These actions will help reduce the use of plastic bags and reduce the negative impact on the environment. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
