Simple everyday things sometimes can be easily converted into environmentally friendly items. Reusable water bottles, plastic-free tea bags, no straws or disposable coffee cups, avoiding plastic ware at home, using razors with replaceable blades, buying products in boxes instead of plastic containers or bags, etc. There are so many ideas that can be easily introduced at home, school, and workplaces.
