You buy groceries, grab an iced coffee on the way, and pick up takeout on the way home. What did you also accumulate? A lot of disposables like plastic bags, cups, straws, boxes, and so many more things that end up becoming waste. You can eliminate this in 2019 by bringing your own vessels. Start by investing $10 in a cute metal straw that you can use and reuse anywhere you go. If you want to take this one step further, swap in a cute tote for disposable bags and a mug or tumbler for disposable cups or bottles. This change saves everyone the hassle of waste since the majority of these products end up in landfills. Bringing your own vessel helps shift you away from our single-use mentality.
