What do you do if you find yourself in the situation of needing a bag for items but don't have a reusable one with you? Carry things out in your hands? In a cart? Accept a disposable one? If you find yourself in this position often, what system could you put in place to try to create a successful habit of not using plastic bags?

What single-use items (e.g. straws, coffee cups, vegetable bags, plastic bags) do you regularly use? What could be substituted instead?

Previously I regularly use straws & plastic bag. Then i realized that it can cause problems when it leaks into the environment & harmful to wildlife & humans. Government also already raise public awareness about the harm caused by single-used plastics which can destroy our nature. Nowdays I'm using reusable bags while shopping & advice my family as well.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Fresh Water Use a Reusable Water Bottle

Using the links provided, investigate the bottling practices of water corporations. There have been many cases where the water rights of the local people have been violated or even completely disregarded when a corporation decides to bottle water from a particular water source. How can you advocate for those who have been harmed - both humans and wildlife - by this bottling process?

Nurdiyana Abdul Ghani 4/21/2020 7:34 PM

As we know, plastic goes through a manufacturing process that turns this material into bottles for liquid substances such as juice and dry substances such as medications. Some of us using plastic bottles daily & not throw in recycling bin once finished which can directly indicate the risk of pollution.
Plastic bottle also contain chemical will can harm human & wildlife by causing diseases such as cancer and lead to hormonal issues. We need to reduce plastic bottle usage in order to save our environment & health.

By using our own reusable cup it can reduce impact on human health and lifespan of the product. We also can help to reduce the pollution of natural environment & cost of recycling.
