7 ) Reusable cloth bags instead of single- use plastic
bags Now , this might look like a no-brainer but swapping plastic bags with reusable cloth bags might contribute significantly to removing plastic from the landfill . Also swapping your plastic / leather coin purses for our own traditional ‘ thaili ’ also might be a great choice . The traditional ‘ thaili ’ made from scrapes of old clothes are available on Ajisproducts ( https :// www . ajisproducts . org / products ) as well under the name ‘ Mheecha Pouches ’!
8 ) Reusing water for
plants Instead of throwing away water used to wash rice , vegetables , and other food items , we can use them to water the plants as the water contains added nutrients from rice and vegetables . Trust me ; your plants will thank you .
9 ) Green confetti instead of shiny plastic
confetti Confetti
has become a major staple as a décor item . But we would love them even more if they were bio-degradable . We can do it ourselves , you just need some punching machine and fallen leaves . Just punch some holes in your leaves and you have your own beautiful green , environment-friendly green confetti .
10 ) Newspaper instead of plast gift
wrappers A very simple yet effective method of reducing waste is to use newspapers as gift wrappers instead of those shiny plastic wrappers . You could even get creative with wrapping with tons of fun DIY wrapping methods .
