are you watching #BluePlanet2 and feeling horrified at the level of destruction humans cause particularly when it comes to plastic?
here are some things you can do in your day to day life to help (a thread)
1 - buy a double walled water bottle. you can get these on amazon, eBay, in TK Maxx, online etc for £6+ just make sure they are double walled cause then they keep your water cold for up to 24 hours and keep things hot for up to 12. magic. saves a fortune too!pic.twitter.com/Jpp9PlC0BI
2 - get a reusable coffee cup. did you know coffee cups can’t be easily recycled? i personally love @ecoffeeofficial which is made from bamboo & also @KeepCup, esp the smaller ones which are perfect for a flat white. most shops offer a discount if you remember your own cup.pic.twitter.com/ev9Hi8anwO
3 - if you can’t get a reusable cup, or you forget yours, try drinking in as much as you can, rather than taking out, so you’re using less plastic coated cups + producing less waste. it’s much nicer if you have time, cause we don’t stop and chill enough in 2017. take a breather.pic.twitter.com/6h95h9oTIb
4 - if you get a takeaway cup, which even the most zealous environmentalists do sometimes, did you know that @CostaCoffee will take ANY branded cup and recycle it as part of their programme? you can’t just recycle it at home so this is super helpful. nice work, costa.pic.twitter.com/5FEjsalrkC
5 - when you’re in a bar, ask for your drink without a straw. it’s a small thing but it makes a difference when we all do it. invest in stainless steel or glass straws for at home, they will save you money long term and make you feel ~fancy~ and like a real life pinterest person.pic.twitter.com/R6xYSIMmlk
6 - obviously we all try to remember bags when we go shopping, but did you know you can buy mesh bags for fruit, veg etc so you don’t need those tiny plastic ones? they go in the washing machine and will make you feel like you really levelled up as an environmentalist.
7 - look around in your area for places you can buy loose fruits and veggies. these are often market stalls with independent vendors (who will also take back plastic berry cartons etc for recycling) so if you have the option - support them!
8 - if you eat lunch at work and use plastic knives and forks that get thrown away, consider packing a set from home or investing in a little travel set to keep in your desk. a little change that adds up!pic.twitter.com/fPqv9vMUK5
9 - try one week where you are conscious of your plastic consumption. it's everywhere! I try hard but I was shocked when I saw how much I threw away without thinking. it might show you some other areas you can cut down or recycle more.
10 - don't get too overwhelmed or be hard on yourself. the modern world is not an easy place to make better choices sometimes, I fail a lot. some people can't make many changes because of money or because disability means they need disposable options. be kind to yourself too

also whilst you're reading this plz sign this petition to end fruits and veggies being wrapped in unnecessary plastic. thank you!https://www.change.org/p/uk-parliament-stop-supermarkets-from-selling-raw-fruit-and-veg-in-plastic-packaging?recruiter=654445472&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink&utm_campaign=share_page&utm_term=triggered …
RIP my mentions so want to also take this opportunity to say if you are able, please consider supporting @seashepherd/@seashepherd_uk and @sascampaigns who do amazing work protecting the oceans + cleaning up coastlines. you can donate, volunteer or help on a beach clean 
btw to delve deeper into this issue in general I highly recommend watching
a plastic ocean
chasing coral
both of which are on @NetflixUK
both heartbreaking but they will light a fire under you to do your best 
@PlasticOceans @ChasingCoral
to the people tweeting me that industrial waste is more important - I agree! this is by no means a definitive way to save the entire
but single use plastic is a HUGE issue - just cause industry pollutes, doesn't mean we should just say sod it + send all our stuff to landfill 
I did not expect this to pop off and be freezing my twitter app two days later but I'm glad it did - get involved politically too, pressure your local MP to vote for measures that reduce waste at higher levels but also fill your own water bottle kthanxbai
