"Our ideas for reducing plastic residues in your home, are thought with the intention that everyone can do it, and that there is no need to buy sophisticated things. With that in mind, here is our first idea. We are, first, going to talk about a general idea for reducing plastic pollution. Then, we are going to go deeper in certain residues. Our main idea is that you, at your home, have one bag or box, and that inside that box, you put all the plastic you generate during a week. And at the end of the week, you take it to a plastic center where they reuse all the plastic."

"We have created an idea for the reduction of the following plastics in our homes, our plastics are poptes, container, jugs, bags and bottles, all of these made of plastic. We hope that with the following ideas that we are going to show you, we can carry out a great reduction of plastic and not only us but all those who can.​ For plastic straws, which are normally used when you have a soda or any other drink that is in a container that is not totally clean, we recommend you buy a metal straw, which can be washed every time you use it and with this you will no longer have to use disposable disposables that are single use or clean the containers well before starting to drink your drink. ​For the plastic container, which normally every time you buy one, is to buy juice, water or milk, so we recommend that you tell who you buy it from, that the next time you buy a new one you give them the empty container so they can wash it and fill it up again and sell it again, that is, make it reusable. ​nFor plastic jugs, which are normally bought to keep water in our homes, we recommend telling the gentlemen who sell them that you give them the empty jug so that they can fill it up and sell it again. ​For plastic bags, that the vast majority of plastic bags give them to you when you buy something at the supermarket, so we recommend that every time you go to make a supermarket, you carry cloth bags that are too long so they don't have you. To give bags, and we tell them to join because if not, there is no point in only using it once and it is no longer useful. ​And finally the plastic bottles, these are the most abundant in the world since they are found everywhere and in abundance, normally they are given to you as a container for your drinks, so we recommend, separate them and each time they collect garbage, give them that bag to use again."

Our proposal is to reduce the plastic that comes packaged in the supermarket products like all legumes, fruits and vegetables and then the plastic that left over we used it to make an eco brick. In the eco brick you can put all plastic. How does the bulk sale and the Eco brick work? We place our super in reusable bags and mason jars and then we put the remaining plastic in the eco-brick nHow does the Bulk sale and the Eco brick benefit? We help reduce the use of plastic by buying fabric bags and reuse the plastic to make the eco brick, that helps people in need to build their home."

"1.-Avoid buying water in plastic bottles. Water bottles represent one of the main waste problems worldwide, since they are not always fully lable. The best option would be to drink tap water, filtered with a good old clay filter, but if someone does not like the taste of the mud filter or doubts the drinking water in their city they could choose or buy water in returnable bottles. 2.-Forget the plastic straws. It sounds silly, but plastic straws are totally expendable. Just out of habit, we use a lot of straws for nothing, when we can simply drink from the glass without problems. If you do not know the damage that a simple plastic straw can cause to the environment, I advise you to watch this video where a sea turtle will tell you about it. 3.-Fall in love with reusable bags – nothing more obvious that I know of. However, this simple change is of great importance for the environment, you only have to change the plastic bags for cloth or plant material bags. You can even make your own, for example with newspaper. 4.-Avoid frozen foods in supermarkets. The frozen food area is full of unnecessary packaging that fills our landfills. Avoiding going through it can help you end up with two males at once. 5.-Get the gum out of your life. nMost of today's chewing gums contain plastic in their composition."
