This year’s World Environment Day theme, “Beat Plastic Pollution,” urges us to take action against the rising threat of plastic waste. From oceans to our own bodies, plastic pollution is everywhere. But small daily choices can lead to big change.

Start with a reusable water bottle to avoid single-use plastic bottles.

Carry cloth or jute bags instead of taking plastic ones. Swap disposable food containers for glass or steel alternatives.

Say no to plastic cutlery and straws by carrying your own reusable set.

Choose products with minimal packaging, especially when buying groceries. Switch to bar soaps and shampoo bars that come without plastic bottles And lastly, buy in bulk to reduce the number of plastic containers at home.

These seven easy steps can help reduce your plastic footprint significantly. Let’s do our bit—because there’s only one Earth, and it’s time we protect it.
