Eating healthy often means that you have to cook at home and pack your lunch to work. It’s a good habit that serves your well being but is it good for the planet? If you pack your food using even a tiny bit of disposable plastic, it is not.

The ongoing plastic crisis

While plastic has many uses, we have become addicted to single-use or disposable plastic and this comes with serious environmental ramifications. It has polluted the earth and is severely affecting the oceans and marine. We are slowly turning our oceans into the plastic soup as more than 8 million tonnes of plastic wastes is dumped into them every year.

A change that will benefit the world

Small positive choices in food, sleep, and exercise makes a huge impact on our bodies and keeps it fit. The same can be applied to the earth, as every little contribution from you matters. So in 2020, let’s eat healthy to keep fit, and at the same time, let us also be mindful of how much plastic we use, especially when it comes to food products. Stop using disposable ziplock bags to pack your snacks, carry your water bottle from home and ditch the smoothies that are filled with sugar and plastic straws.
