环保使者:生活动如何减少使用塑料?

5. Buy less stuff & Reuse what you have
5. 少买一点食物和重复使用你所拥有的东西
Again, this should seem obvious, but the less we consume, the less demand for products that are made of plastic and consequently, the less chances that plastic will end up in landfills and our oceans. Further, try and buy products that are of a higher quality, so that they last longer and reduce the need to be replaced in a few months or years. Lastly, no matter how hard you try to live with less plastic, you may not be able to avoid it completely. When you can’t refuse plastic, learn to reuse! Shopping bags, food containers, zip-lock bags and bottles don’t need to end up in your trash or recycling bin, but can be put to several creative uses.
这一点看起来又很明显了，只有我们消耗的越少，我们对塑料产品的需求就越少，因此，塑料被埋在垃圾堆和海里的机会也就越少。另外，尝试和购买质量更好的产品，以便它们可以用得更久而减少在数月或数年就需要更换。最后，无论你多想减少生活塑料，你不可能完全避免。当你不能拒绝塑料，学着再利用！购物袋、食品容器、自封袋和瓶子不可能在垃圾或回收站中完全消失，但是可以用作其他方面的创造性用途。
