Reducing the use of plastic and other non-biodegradable materials is an effective way to reduce environmental pollution. Here are some practical steps that can be taken to help reduce the use of such materials:
1. Switch to reusable bags, water bottles, and other containers made from more sustainable materials like canvas or steel;
2. Purchase products that are made from recycled materials or come in packaging that has been created with recycled materials;
3. Refuse plastic utensils, straws, and packets; 
4. Make an effort to properly dispose of all plastics and non-biodegradable items in the correct recycling bins; 
5. Choose green cleaning products with natural ingredients instead of chemical-filled aerosols or soaps; 
6. Support local farmers’ markets where possible - these often include fewer plastic packagings for fruits and vegetables.
