2. Switch to laptops or mobiles instead of paper.

3. Make a compost pit.

4. BYOC.

Bring your own cutlery. Take a fork, knife and spoon and wrap them in a cloth and keep them permanently inside your bag so wherever you go, you won't have to take the plastic cutlery offered to you.

5. Stop buying bottled water.

Even though it seems a lot cleaner than tap water, in reality- it isn't. It only ends up producing more single-use plastic and harming the environment in ways and blocking the waterways since not all of it gets recycled.

6. Use public transportation.

This will diminish the of vehicles in the city, cause less carbon emanation, and decrease the odds of mishaps, accidents, and traffic. Also, it would reduce the fuel expenses of your vehicle. 16% of carbon outflow made by man originates from transportation.

7. Drink loose tea.

Not drinking tea-bags will help save up on so many strings, paper and unrecyclable plastic wrapper that comes with it.

8. Carry a cup.

A keep-cup is one you can take around and ask the coffee shops to refill. Good for takeaways, you'll be saving on the plastic and paper containers and their covers.
