Protecting the environment is becoming more and more important. As eating and drinking at restaurants and cafes have become restricted due to COVID-19, there has been a stark increase in the use of disposable products. Especially, the excessive use of plastics from deliveries and take-outs has been negatively impacting the environment. That is why we should take part in protecting the environment in various ways through our daily lives.
The easiest way is to properly recycle when disposing wastes! It is important to make a habit of not only recycling plastics, cans and paper properly but also separating food wastes and general wastes correctly. If you are uncertain about how to dispose certain wastes, please leave a comment! :)
In addition, use a tumbler when visiting cafes. Using personal tumblers can help reduce the use of disposable cups. Many cafes in Korea offer discounts on beverages when you bring your own tumbler. Use your tumbler to help protect the environment and enjoy your favorite beverage at a discount!
Using your own shopping bag is another great way to reduce the use of plastic. Using the plastic bags is the most convenient way to put goods purchased at groceries, but they create a lot of plastic wastes. It is recommended to use your own shopping bag but if you forget to bring your own or have no choice to avoid using the plastic bag, make sure to recycle it in ‘vinyl plastics’ separately!
Last but not least, try and use your own food containers for take-outs and grocery shopping! Recently, there was a campaign about bringing food containers for to-go orders. After the campaign, more people started to bring their own pots for soups to-go or bring the containers to a grocery shopping. Just by doing the little that we can, we can help the environment in many areas! We hope that you also partake in protecting the environment.
