Carry a refillable water bottle when you’re on the go.
Instead of buying bottled water, purchase something more sustainable.
Try a steel bottle for a damage-resistant option during activities like
sports. Glass is more fragile but also good at keeping hot water warm.
You could even get a reusable plastic bottle, which is still a better
option than buying multiple single-use bottles.[4]
- If you’re worried about the quality of drinking water available, purchase your own filter. Some reusable water bottles come with built-in filters.

Bring your own cutlery to avoid relying on plastic ones.
Anticipate plastic forks, knives, and spoons at fast food restaurants
and other small establishments. Next time you go in, pack your own at
home and say no thanks to plastic. You could roll up metal cutlery in a
bag, then take it home and wash it when you’re done eating.[5]
- Metal cutlery is fine, but carrying it around can be a bit of a hassle. If you’re looking for something lightweight, try getting a set of bamboo cutlery. Bamboo is also organic and biodegradable in case you need to throw it out.
- Keep a set of utensils where you need them, such as at the office. If you’re ordering out, wait until you get the food home so you can take advantage of your own cutlery.
