We use so much plastic everyday and are so burning more and more fossil fuels. This is very hurtfull for our planet and we will not have these ressourcers anymore, so we should change our habits now!
What can we do? The first step is to not use plastic bags anymore! This is extremly unnecessary and if we switch up to multiply use bags.
Plastic bags are not only harmful for our health but also for the health of our environment. They are one of the major causes of environmental pollution. Petroleum based synthetic plastic bags contains polymers that take 1000 of years to degrade.
They are nuisance to our oceans and wildlife. There is extra cost to dispose plastic bags.

Less platic bottles! Here you can see what plastic bottles cause!
Yes, drinking water is healthy, but disposable water bottles contain chemicals that have been linked to reproductive issues, asthma and dizziness. ... While recycling the bottle helps the environment, producing it has already done a great amount of damage because 90% of bottled water's cost comes from making the bottle. https://greenerideal.com/infographics/the-environmental-impact-of-plastic-water-bottles/
