Loved speaking with staff and green team at @jdcjoint on zerowaste living and how the little things we do each day to reduce our impact do in fact make a difference. As @jdcjoint works on humanitarian efforts around the globe, the staff here know and see the impact of our actions on people and communities around the world, who are often the most impacted by climate change, while contributing the least to it. Reducing our environmental impact isn’t just a nice thing to do, it’s a responsibility we have to our fellow human beings - especially those facing devastating effects of climate change right now. As 2020 approaches, can we all make a commitment to our planet and mankind to do better? Start with one change and use the energy and power from that to do more and more. We don’t have to be perfect, but we have no choice but to make serious progress. . . . #zerowaste #vegan #zerowasteliving #sustainability #makeadifference #lowimpact #lowwaste #makechange #plantbased #eatmoreplants #plasticfree #nosingleuse #plasticsucks #enviromensch #itslindner #butthatsok #difficultlastnames https://www.instagram.com/p/B6RI3z8DGD4/?igshid=lroncnklujjm

Reusable Water Bottles - Beneficial to Health & Eco-Friendly

Over the last couple of decades, people have grown more and more reliant on plastic. The consistent use has made plastic waste an ecological problem of rather massive proportions. This involves plastic waste gathering in bodies of water such as oceans, rivers, and streams. Aside from the obvious trash issue, there's also a health concern that arises: toxins then leak into the water people end up taking in.

In order to help save the Earth and keep it healthy, a lot of people have since tried to take their plastic consumption down considerably. Replacing plastic bags with paper bags and recycling are just some of these key ways to reduce waste and lessen their carbon footprint.

No matter the means, it's clear that responsibility is being taken on by people everywhere to lessen the way they end up adding to the problem with plastic. A great way that many have chosen is through giving up single-use plastic bottles in favour of a reusable, eco-friendly water bottle.

What kind of harm does plastic water bottle use inflict on the environment?

To begin with, the very production of these single-use plastics involves oil. They're not biodegradable in the least; they've contributed so much to the ocean's garbage deposits. All plastics generally start from oil.

Prior to the creation of the bottle, there's already the matter of oil being extracted through drilling into the Earth. There's also the matter of its refinement. A study found that in a year, roughly 17 million barrels of oil are needed to make enough disposable water bottles for a whole year. So each bottle is made with oil that can fill up to 1/4 of it. A 20oz bottle, for example, is directly equivalent to 5oz of crude oil. Every thousand bottles lead to a single oil barrel.

Compare that to motor fuel, which a barrel of oil can create roughly 20 gallons of. This means that aside from the environmental impact, there are also gas prices being inflated. Reports have shown that bottling water leads to an annual carbon dioxide pollution of around 2.5 million tons.

That's before it's even been used!

When a plastic water bottle does get used then thrown out, there are heavy consequences:

It takes around 700 years before plastics actually dissolve.

Landfills in the Australia see up to 373 million plastic water bottles annually.

Microplastics end up in drinking water.

Plastic water bottles are part of the overall plastic waste which leads to a little over a million marine animals per year being killed.

Why use a reusable water bottle?

Body hydration is crucial, which is why at least 8 glasses of water a day is generally recommended. While it seems like a small step it's actually quite big. There can be difficulty in resisting the urge to buy a drink that's in a plastic container or to just buy water in a plastic bottle then throw it out after. Production of reusable water bottles requires less oil, and it lowers plastic waste in landfills and the environment.

Conclusion

Plastic water bottles have terrible consequences on the environment and on one's health. They require a lot of oil to make and take hundreds of years to dissolve, contributing heavily to the plastic waste problem. Reusable water bottles are the ideal solution because they require less oil to make and can last for many years, replacing the many single-use plastic water bottles that would have been used otherwise.

Use your own cup tomorrow, Wednesday 11th December and we'll take $1 off your coffee!!!! You don't need a fancy schmancy cup (but if you would like one, some schmancy ones will be available for purchase with a portion of the cup cost going to Waipu Evolution towards an eco incentive - beautiful cups provided by @dirtyhippieinsta ). No cup shaming here, any coffee holding receptacle such as glass jars are accepted - we'll even make a coffee in your shoe if you want!

Have you transitioned to re-usable beauty products yet? If you haven’t, why not? Facial rounds or makeup rounds (whatever you want to call them) are so versatile and useful. Wet them a bit, then apply your oil-based cleanser to clean and remove makeup. Or dash your toner on one of them and apply. You can use them to apply your foundation if you so wish, or to correct your makeup (instead of using a qtip). So many uses, and they look dam cute too! They are available in a range of colours, and we sell them in a set of 7, which means you will never run out. Once used, simply toss in the laundry and wash with your cloths. Hang to dry and reuse! To get yours, visit our online shop (link in bio) . . . . . #naturalbeauty #natural #makeup #zerowaste #saynotoplastic #nosingleuse #reuse #skincare #organic #proudlylocal #proudlysouthafrican #onlineshop #onlinestore #giftboxes #curatedgifted #seasonofgiving #giftingfromtheheart #spoiltheonesyoulove #spoilyourself #treatyourself #selfcare #alifeleadsimply #blessings #ipreview via @preview.app (at Pretoria, South Africa) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4rM-tHlJ_K/?igshid=x0en7imm0m31

Always keen to remove waste and single-use products, I always use loose tea, and have just ditched the herbal tea bags for loose tea from Taste Nature. The spearmint is refreshing and zingy #spearminttea #tastenature #nosingleuse #sustainablelifestyle #myenjolife @tastenaturenz (at ENJOJennifer with ENJO New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2VfTLIAxPA/?igshid=25b0nyk6f5zw

LOW WASTE FESTIVALS Summer is here! We are heading to #allpointseast Festival in London to see Mumford & Sons today with our trusty empty reusable water bottles, a cloth bag & cups along to avoid disposables. 💃🏻 Disappointingly, I can only see images of single use plastic cups on social media & they don't share any info on their site about waste disposal or recycling. 🙄 Not ideal, but regardless, we will do our best today & I'll definitely be in comms with organisers after the event to find out what their plans are to greenify future events. . @glastofest are making it clear that they care this year saying "Leave no trace. Reuse. Reduce. Respect." with a whole section of their site dedicated to making this happen. 🌍🙌 . Have you dodged single use items at any Summer events? . Today is a reminder of how much things can change in a short few years. When I went to concerts in the past I wouldn't have thought twice about going along with just my phone & wallet. I assumed that anything I used there would be recycled, not shipped off to Malaysia to deal with the problem or burnt. So don't be hard on yourself if you're only starting to rethink these things now. Just one simple swap like having a reusable water bottle with you could stop loads of plastic waste in one weekend. 🙌 . . . #avoidsingleuse #doitforearth #wastefreeplanet #reusable #nosingleuse #greenerfestivals (at All Points East) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByKyB0JHaI-/?igshid=1sljxv42k8x2a

Furoshiki? Why am I carrying around these bulky, bland shopping bags!? Furoshiki are traditional Japanese square clothes used to wrap and carry goods. Through a series of folds and knots the cloth is able to perform many different jobs. For example, a purse, grocery bag, produce bag, backpack, tote, gift wrap, and as the picture illiterates, a sleeve for you drink. If the cloth is made from natural fibers it also can fulfill all 5 of the Zero Waste Rs: Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Rot. Reposted from @zerowaste.japan - #DIY jar sleeve for #Masonjar 🌱I carry a Mason jar with me everywhere I go to avoid using single use cups from restaurants and cafes. This sleeve is great for hot and cold beverages. Fits well.
