We Australians love our coffee! We consume about 50,000 takeaway coffees every 30 minutes. That equals 50,000 disposable coffee cups most likely ending up in landfill. At the supermarket it’s not much better. Australians are estimated to use between four and six billion plastic bags a year. So by the time you read this story, that’s another 30,000 single use plastic bags used and thrown away.
Reducing your footprint by ditching takeaway coffee cups and single use plastic from your life is a really good place to start.
At Wholesome Hub, we’re here to help! We want to make it easier for you to live a healthier, happier life that produces less waste for this beautiful planet we all share. Here are three quick and easy changes you can make to reduce your footprint, and help make our world a better place!
Onya Reusable Shopping Bags
One of the biggest differences you can make is removing plastic shopping bags from your life. In many countries, plastic bags have been completely banned or can only be given out for a fee. Most states in Australia have banned them too, which is great.
Onya reusable shopping bags and Onya reusable produce bags are two great ways to make your weekly shop and groceries more environmentally friendly. And what’s even better, Onya makes their reusable bags from recycled plastic water bottles, helping to reduce the waste in landfill even further!
