Hai, 18
I try to use fewer plastic bags when shopping. The supermarket near my house even provides cardboard
boxes, so I can pack my groceries and get rid of plastic packaging! When I must use plastic bags, I try to
reuse them again and again instead of throwing them away after a single use.
Phuong, 16
I know how convenient it is to buy a bottle of water from a vending machine or a supermarket; however,
I always bring my reusable water bottle. All I have to remember is to fill my bottle before going to school,
and then use the water filling stations or drinking fountains at school.
Hoang, 15
I always reuse plastic takeaway containers. I use them to store portions of cooked food and keep leftovers
in the fridge, which is also better for the environment.
Ha, 16
I have learnt that most plastic containers have numbers at the bottom to show the type of plastic they're
made of. So when you recycle a bottle, for instance, remove the cap because a bottle often has number 1
on it while the cap often has number 5. Numbers 1 and 2 are the most widely accepted plastics for
recycling.
Binh, 17
When I started recycling, I made the mistake of putting some plastic takeaway containers with some
leftover food into the recycling bin. The next day, the whole bin was contaminated, so all the recyclables
were taken to the landfill instead. So now I always rinse out containers before recycling them.
