#7: Find Products with Minimal Packaging
Reducing your packaging wherever you can is an easy way to reduce waste. As you probably know, plastics are harmful to the environment and take a long time to break down. If you are looking to reduce plastic easily, look at changing liquid soaps for soap bars. Personally, I’m a huge fan of soap bars – I think they do a better job at scrubbing and washing your hands!
Many small businesses make unique and fun bars that have great scents and are moisturizing to the skin that comes with basically no packing. However, most stores also have bars of soap for lower prices. While these do come with packaging, they come with fewer plastics than liquid soaps, so you can feel good with your choice, no matter which option you go with.
