“The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof” ~ Psalm 24:1a
Following up on this CP post about a Healthier Planet, is a listing HERE of 15 things earth.org suggests as potential actions.
Today we’ll focus on one of those actions, quoting directly from the earth.org article regarding “reduce plastic usage”
Single-use plastic is one of the greatest threats to the environment. Approximately 300 million tons of plastic is produced worldwide every year, with more than 90% ending up in landfills, the ocean or simply dumped.
When ordering takeout, consider using your own reusable food containers. Going for coffee? Bring your own portable mug or thermos. Going grocery shopping? Bring reusable shopping bags. Opt for reusable products instead of single-use plastic to limit your plastic consumption. Being a bit more aware of your consumption habits will definitely help you help the planet.
- Some retailers will no longer be supporting use of plastic bags at checkout
- Clever consumers are finding alternative uses for existing plastic bags, including creation of sleeping pads by weaving bags together
- More consumers are following the recommendations quoted above
- and many, many more!
How will you find your way to plastics-limiting efforts to share gratitude with this earth of ours?
May you enjoy your time on this beautiful earth, filled with the Spirit!
