Instead of loading up on tons of plastic bags, carry your own bags with you when you go shopping.
8. Stop using exfoliating scrubs and cleansers.
These products contain tiny plastic beads that are too small to get filtered out of the water. Fish mistake the microbeads for food and swallow them, and the result is not pretty.

Disposable razors, shampoo bottles, plates, cups, gloves and raincoats are all made of plastic. We use them once and throw them away, which is a colossal waste. Opt for longer lasting products, preferably ones that are not made of plastic.
