We can see that the things around us are mostly plastic. Plastics are difficult to decompose and most of us are too lazy to recycle them, so we throw them in the trashcan. Then the plastic will be thrown in landfills, beaches even in the street. We need to do something for the Earth before it's too late. Here we list some simple ways we can do to reduce the amount of plastic released into the environment:
1/ ALWAYS CARRY REUSABLE BAGS:

After coming back from the supermarketor the market, we always bring home lots of nylon bags because of it's convenience. But this type of nylon bag takes up to 500 years to completely decompose so has a big impact on the environment. Instead, you should bring cloth bags to store items instead of using nylon bags available at stores that will help protect the environment
2/LIMIT THE USE OF PLASTIC CONTAINERS:

Glass and metal containers can be used instead of plastic containers to store nuts, spices, food and even soap, shower gel, etc.
3/ CHANGE THE HABIT OF USING PLASTIC STRAWS:

We all know that using plastic straws is convenient, but it also generates a lot of waste in the environment. Instead of using plastic straws, you can choose to use straws made of stainless steel or straws made from disposable bamboo.
4/ WEAR CLOTHING MADE FROM NATURAL MATERIALS:

Synthetic fibers are the main factors that cause pollution of micro plastic, this type of pollution is warned to cause serious harm to the environment, especially the oceans and human health. Choosing clothes made from fabrics with natural ingredients like cotton, wool, hemp and silk will help limit this situation.
5/ SAY NO TO CHEWING GUM:

Because gum is also plastic
THE HARMFUL EFFECTS WHAT HAPPENS IF PLASTIC WASTE KEEPS INSCREASING?!?

Excessive use of plastic is like ruining your own health. Plastics will easily melt in the temperature range of 70-800 degrees Celsius and dissolve into food, entering your body. Those toxins that accumulate long days will cause the disease extremely dangerous. In particular, in plastic contains a toxic substance is DOP. This poison can cause infertility in girls. In addition, plastic waste also negatively affects the environment. When you throw a piece of plastic waste into the environment, it takes 450 years to completely destroy. Plastic waste is very difficult to handle, we should not discard indiscriminately or burning plastic. We all need to develop the habit of "LIVING WITHOUT PLASTIC" and restricting the use of plastic thoroughly.
