A hand sanitizer bottle
is multi-use. Wipes are
single-use, and you
have to throw them
away after just one
use.
Again, plastic wrap is
single-use. Containers
can be used for a long
period of time without
having to throw them
away. In fact, plastic
takes almost 1000
years to decompose
completely.
I use plastic forks
everyday for lunch,
and I have to throw
them away. If I switch
to reusable stainless
steel cutlery, I would
be making a huge
difference in the
amount of waste I
produce.
Handkerchiefs are
reusable, and they
simply need to be
washed in a washing
machine instead of
being thrown away.
Yes, I think it is more
convenient to carry
around a small bottle
instead of wipes.
Yes, I will try to
convince my parents
to stop our daily
newspapers.
Yes, I will start taking
stainless steel cutlery
with my lunch instead
of plastic cutlery.
Yes, I will make this
change and use
reusable
handkerchiefs instead
of single-use Kleenex
tissues.
Ice Packs
Ziploc Bags
Hot/Cold Gel Packs
Brand: Elasto-Gel
Website: net32.com
Gel Packs simply need
to be placed in a
freezer to be cooled.
You do not need to use
ice. This helps to
conserve water
resources and reduce
the amount of waste.

Instead of using Ziploc
bags, I can simply
place my food items in
reusable containers.
I will consider making
this change and buying
a gel pack instead of
using ice.
Yes, I will make this
change and switch to
reusable containers
instead of Ziploc bags.
These are some of the disposable products that I
have in my house: paper towels, paper plates,
napkins, plastic cups, trash bags, plastic forks and
spoons, disposable gloves, and twist ties.
